We experienced the same problems as the other reviewers. Unfortunately, I did not look up Calgary's Garage Boyz (i.e. owner Randy Seib) at the BBB, because if I did, I would have seen an F rating. This was truly a lesson to be learned. This guy is truly a con artist and an unscrupulous individual. He starts out just fine, good customer service, then gets the deposit, and then you have to HOUND him 8 times a day, which my husband did to get ANYTHING done. I had a sinking feeling things were not right with the excuses that were happening. I read these reviews while the job was being delayed for reasons that were obviously made up from Randy. Fortunately, we did get some things done but only because of my husband hounding and confronting Randy 8 times a day. It was extremely stressful and this guy is a dishonest scum bag. I heard from a friend he ripped off a family he actually knew personally. That is what kind of low life he is. He is probably doing the same pattern of business to others right now. I agree, AVOID this company in Calgary and tell everyone not to use his services.
We hired Randy Seib in Nov. 2010 to install an organization system for our garage. After his prompt and well versed presentation we agreed to hire him. He insisted on picking up a cheque for half of the job cost immediately. After many phone calls and emails we managed to get him (a subcontractor) to start the job in early January 2011. We have been unable to communicate with him since then. In the interim we have received a letter fro the subcontractor saying that he has not been paid by Randy Seib for the work he has done. We are left with a partially done job and out $5000. We believe that Garage Boyz and Randy Seib are unfair and unscrupulous. Avoid any business with them.
We hired this contractor in March to complete a project and it is now June 7, 2010 and the contractor will not return emails, phone calls and has not completed the work for which he has received payment for. I cannot locate the individual Randy Seib nor the company. There have been numerous exuses for not delivering our product for installation and we now believe this company may have gone out of business. We do not know what our options are at this time. He has received approximately $4,500 from us for which the work has not been done or the product delivered.
The work completed and paid for to date is appropriately done, but the consistent lack of communication from this person is terrible and would suggest no one should do work with him or his company.
Any help in providing us with a contact would be appreciated.

Garage Boyz has received complaints from their suppliers and/or creditors
Complaint: Randy Seib hired my company to do work for him. He collected from the customer and owes me $5000 which he will never pay.
Don t trust or work or hire this individual.
Complaint: I did work for Garage boyz, My first pay period seemed to be a struggle to recieve , I then concidered terminating contract and Randy begged me to stick around , Even though the contradictions and altered made up conversasions he started making I mistakenly countinued to work for Randy, The next pay period Randy falsified paying me twice . Then he "test" sent 50$ since i had claimed was low on gas and would not return till invoice paid as it was now past due .
Apon Randy failing to pay i would not return to work till he paid . He then countinued to be rude towards me with swearing and name calling . He shortly after blocked my number and would not respond . As of today his invoice is 24 Days Past Due beyound the NET count .
Randy avoids responding or answering calls , text messages , voicemails , emails . I then went to his home to speak to him . He ignored the door then approached me around the corner to where he approached my car and stated " stay off my property or next time i will come out with a baseball bat and feed you your lunch" he since was reported to the police and has ignored there calls to attempt to deal with him on this matter , he has also been seen in his kitchen as someone was at his door to serve him for court . But he completly ignored the knocking and door bell and did not even look at the door . Randy is a professional crook . After reviewing all reviews on this site i truely wish i would of found this site before ever doing business with Randy .
