Durasheen Inc

On August 31, 2021 the owner provided a quote to provide rubber paving services for our front yard and back yard, for the amount of $18,000.

On December 1, 2021 thé owner of DuraSheen / Dura Grip, took a cheque for $9000 as a deposit to have rubber paving work done on my yard in the summer of 2022. He explained we would be front of the line come summer.

From June until August, the owner made excuses as to why he can’t start the job, from materials being back ordered, to inclement weather. There have been consistent weeks when the weather was favourable to start the job during the month of August.

He promised to start the job in the 1st week of August, then it was to start in mid August, then he wanted to come over to take measurements, if not on the evening of August 26 the morning of the 27th, to which he did not show up at all.

He took measurements in August of 2021, to provide the quote. From what I am ascertaining it was a stall tactic.

On August 27 at 1105 I called him, and received no answer. He properly sent me a text saying he would be over shortly.

I called him on August 27 at 12:30 and it sounded like he was home. He then stated he is just putting his shoes on.

I told him this whole process was filled with lies and broken promises. Before I could speak further he said “ I know where this is going, I’m going to send you a cheque in the mail 55% of your deposit back the 45% is a restocking fee..” he hung up on me. We have yet to receive a cheque.

The way he had been acting over the past 3 months, indicates to me he had no interest in completing the job. We did not get any services from Dura Grip / DuraSheen

for the rubber paving.

He is not returning emails or phone calls, since August 27, 2022.

September 8, 2023 @0920

A DuraSheen truck showed up on the corner of Inkster and Scotia.

I noticed workers unloading 6 x 5 gal pails and a 2000 lb bag of rubber on the boulevard.

I asked if they were going to 108 Scotia, to where the worker said we are just dropping off this stuff, and he didn’t know where it was going.

I tried calling Casey for an explanation at 0925, 0928, 0931, to which went straight to voicemail.

When I got back from errands, I realized they unloaded the product into our driveway. It is evident he was waiting for everyone to leave the house. I called Casey and left a voicemail requesting an explanation at 0953. He has not returned my phone call.

Value of the pails is $150 each.

Value of the 2000 lb of rubber is $700.

Total value of abandoned materials. $1600.

September 9, 2022

Sent another email, requesting the reason the rubber product was abandoned in the driveway, and another request to have the $9000 deposit returned by September 13, 2022.

The email has went unanswered, and a cheque was not received.
