Anyone have experience (good or bad) with this company? I've been burned by another company before and ended up getting info from tons of contrctors afterward. Not looking to be a part of anymore law suits. Trying to make sure these guys are OK before I sign a contractor agreement

you talking about Sweetwater Field Services in CA? for the PPC work?
(Property Preservation Contractor)

if so,you don't sign a contract with them.You just sign to acknowledge that you agree to the prices

I was burned by a company in Florida.

You are correct,you are laughing. My apologize to you. I actually dont have any more headache with them,then i do with anyone else. And the money is nice. ( if they dont go out of business on you ) But the shaft is the shaft....lol

In my case the company was supposed to be based out of Las Vegas and had purchased another preservatin company working out of Texas...Luckily I only did 3 jobs before everything blew up. The supposed story is that the guy out of Texas was left holding the bag after the Las Vegas guys left the country. Class action law suits were being filed and following the paper trail. Cotractors being left owed thousands of dollars. I don't work off of much capital...so I can't afford to really get burnt. Splinter Hands is right about the number of stories out there on shady companies screwing contractors.
So did you end up doing work for them? I have recieved an email from them offering work.
G
they get a big fat NO!!

Stay away from them.I did a job for them since my first posting in this thread. They took me for over $3000.00.


They are scum at best :mad:

LOL.
In order to avoid disrepecting anyone on this forum, I will respond to the contract in the following manner: I (myself) would be a fool to agree to anything like what is written above. I (myself) would have no business running a company that others depend on for their livelihood, if I would agree to risk losing payments for invoices over the terms in which they outline. I (myself) would deserve the screwjob I would get.
The wording is straight out of "How to avoid paying your contractors 101".
Is there a page two to the contract that requires you to buy only from their company store at rates they will determine?
G
thanks for the heads up on sweetwater guess i won't look for a check at least they only got me for 100.00 for fuel and my time
:censored::mad:
G
M&M Mortgage Services has cut ties with Sweet Water field Services. It would seem that a contractor in Florida was owed money from Sweetwater,they didnt pay and he put a lien the house.

Good for him
G
No disrespect taken on my part, i put that out there for people who think they will get their money quicker if they are told to sign crap like that
