Lack of Communication and Unreliability
Many customers have reported difficulties in getting a hold of Chris, the owner of Ponchaud Contracting, or receiving calls back from him. Mike Farr and Foxgun both mentioned leaving messages and being ignored, while Chris Sayre also mentioned not receiving a call back. This lack of communication has led to frustration and disappointment among customers.
Mixed Reviews on Work Quality
While some customers have had positive experiences with Ponchaud Contracting, others have been less satisfied. Cody Ponchaud praised Chris for installing new stairs at his grandmother's house for free, but Bonnie South mentioned doing good work, but not following up on quotes. Brooke Carlson and Spartan Leathers, however, had excellent experiences with the company's workmanship and quality, and would recommend it to others.
Concerns about Professionalism
The lack of communication and unprofessional behavior are recurring themes throughout the reviews. Chris Sayre's comment about not getting a call back, even when promised, and Bonnie South's experiences with not receiving quotes, show a lack of respect for customers' time. This raises concerns about the company's professionalism and ability to meet its commitments.
