DeckTech's Day to Answer Allegations of Defective Work is Here

Ron McKenna of DeckTech Inc, located in Grover Beach CA, with his insurance company provided attorney's, appeared at a court ordered arbitration at McDaniels Court Reporters office, located at 1302 Osos Street in San Luis Obispo. The long awaited date arrives and gives the plaintiff's suing DeckTech a chance to recoup their losses resulting from their alleged construction defects caused by Decktech and/or their sub-contractors, primarily Quality Tile of Arroyo Grande.

The arbitration is one part of the case, with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) moving ahead with their own allegations against DeckTech relating to violations of the Business & Professions Codes, including taking too large of a deposit ($15,000 deposit when only $1,000 deposit was allowed by law), taking more money than work was done, not issuing conditional releases for funds that were paid etc. You can review DeckTech's license here at this link and read the CSLB complaint disclosure.

Check back and once the case has been settled, we will report on the results. Pundits weighing in on the matter told us that agreeing to arbitrate means the defendants chances in a court room aren't great and that arbitration is where they could limit any damages awarded. We've heard numbers around $100,000 to repair and redo the 850 square foot deck. Actual damages are usually awarded to the prevailing party in arbitrations, where in court trials and jury or judge could award other damages as well.

Alleged defects such as "picture framing" of tiles improperly grouted, improper minimum
thickness of waterproofing materials, poor tile installation etc are some of the problems DeckTech faces.
