  More info

  I hired this company to move me out of my home during a hardwood floor refinishing project. They stored my contents in a (supposedly) climate-controlled storage warehouse for two weeks. They moved me back in after the flooring project was complete. The owner, Sava Rilak, promised me that his team would take great care in moving my furniture. Furthermore, he stated in writing that he would not let any damage go un-repaired or replaced if it was caused by one of his teams. On 8/28/2024, his team moved me back in. They damaged my newly finished hardwood floors, badly dented my 4 year old refrigerator, caused damage to an entertainment center worth several thousand dollars, broke a dining room cabinet leg (I watched the workers try to set the cabinet in place on the broken leg without informing me of the damage), and gouged the wood frame around my front door. **** has stated that the best he can do is offer me a $550 credit for a charge I never agreed to in the first place. He said he'd send out a handyman, but I'd have to pay $550. His team was far more interested in moving quickly than moving safely.

  Dear ****,

  
  

  We understand that your recent moving experience didn't meet your expectations, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or damage that occurred. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to continuously improve our services.

  
  

  While we take great care to ensure smooth moves for all our customers, there are instances where unforeseen challenges arise. In this case, it seems that some unexpected issues contributed to the damage to your belongings.

  
  

  We want to assure you that we take full responsibility for these incidents. To make things right, we are offering you a $550 credit, which will cover the additional two hours of work time spent at your home. Furthermore, we would like to send a skilled handyman to assess and repair any damage caused.

  
  

  Your satisfaction is our top priority. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. We are committed to resolving this matter to your complete satisfaction.

  Thank you for your understanding.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  * You told me you couldn't file a claim with your insurance carrier until I paid my invoice.  I paid the amount we agreed to before the move IN FULL.  Where is the claim???

  * The $550 was not disclosed ahead of time.  Further, I've already explained how your crew mishandled the sliders/furniture protectors that I PROVIDED.  You promised me the hours quoted wouldn't change.  I do not owe that amount.

  * You assured me in writing that you would repair or replace any damage caused by your crew.  I selected replacement cost, no deductible insurance on the day of the move.

  Your crew caused thousands of dollars of damage.  I am working on documenting the damage and securing quotes to repair wherever possible and replace where necessary.

  I will be filing a formal complaint with the Georgia ************************* soon.

  Sincerely,
  
  ********* ******

  ****, 
  
  To clarify, the reason we requested payment was to close the job and initiate an investigation into the matter. As you know, we exchanged emails  about the replacement value coverage option when you moved out of your home and you chose not to purchase it, you were not ready for those additional expenses. 

  
  While state law limits our liability to $0.60 per pound per article, I'm committed to finding a resolution that better meets your needs. We're more than willing to schedule a repair technician to address the issues as soon as possible.

  
  Your satisfaction is our top priority. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can do to help.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  I never rejected insurance.  I have ALL of our email correspondence. I simply told you that the cost of the insurance should have been disclosed ahead of time when you presented your proposal as opposed to last minute on the day of the move.  I signed a form stating that I wanted replacement cost, no deductible insurance.  I never signed anything rescinding that.

  In your 8/29/2024 email to me, you specifically stated "In order to submit a claim on the job and begin the process of making things right, I kindly request that you go ahead and submit the payment so that the invoice is closed."  You said you would submit a claim.  Have you???

  I will be using my own trusted repair technician(s).  In your handling of this matter thus far, you have lost my trust.

  Sincerely,

  Good afternoon,

  I'm not sure whether to accept or reject their response.....it says I only have 7 days.  They appear to have become more reasonable.  They are sending various vendors out to assess damage and prepare quotes to repair/replace.  I've already gotten quotes from my own contractors.  I'm not sure how long this process will take or whether they're actually going to compensate me for damages they caused.  What do you suggest?

  Please advise.

  Thank you,
