Hello Arizona Registrar of Contractors,

This is a response to Complaint No. 2024-04388

Quick Flooring Solutions/ Quick Maintenance Solutions (QMS) is claiming they are owed $28,323 which is a balance from a pay application totaling $58,323, but a contract was never written for that amount, nor were any change orders ever agreed to.

Timeline: 2/21/23 Quote: The original quote was from Primera who Royce Garcia worked for at the time. The quote was in the amount of $36,607

Work started

4/20/23 Text: No show of crew for the week, not meeting production, behind schedule

6/5/23 Email/ QMS Quote: Correspondence with Royce (now with QMS) requesting reason for price change, price doubled, why?

6/9/23 Text: Crew no showed for the week again

6/20/23 Text: Don't send the crew back up, need to get a different company to finish. Lack of communication, change in pricing, guys don't show up and are way behind. At this time the project owner is furious

At this point we had to find another tile company to help us. Compas Flooring helped us. We paid Compas $21,000 to finish.

Compas Checks, Clifton is job number 22-053: 7145 $11,000 7201 $9,000 7235 $1000

Total paid to Compas = $21,000

Attached are proposals, text messages, correspondence and checks to Compas that follow the sequence above. These items show that we had an amount $36,607, work started, the amount and company changed and we had difficulty getting the crew to show up to an out of town job. We had to find another company to finish. What this doesn't show is the schedule delay, loss of owner confidence and time spent trying to fix this issue.

Even if we did agree to the $58,323 amount that was on the pay application, which we didn't, there was a lot of work left to do. The total amount owed to QMS of $58323 should not even be a question of whether the full amount should be paid. As we've shown, we paid Compas $21,000 to finish the job.

If we deduct $21,000 (amount paid to Compas to finish) from the $58,323 (proposed by QMS, but not agreed to by Breise) the difference would be $37,323. Briese has paid QMS $30,000 to date, the balance between the $37,323 and the 30,000 is $7,323.

I reached out to Lee Ferris via phone (5/8/23; 1:00 PM) and left him a message that we want to resolve this. In order to resolve this issue we will be proposing to pay QMS $7,323, even though we dispute the revised amount of $58,323.

Should we update you on how negotiations are progressing with QMS? What are the next steps given we will try to negotiate this and get it behind us? Thank you,

Justin Jensen Breise Construction (602) 390-2603

Hello,

I am writing to follow up on a No-Pay Complaint that was filed against Breise Construction LLC. Have they made any payments or have these complaints been resolved?

If they have made payments, would you like us to close the complaint? If they have not, would you like us to move forward with issuing a Citation?

Please advise.

Thank you,

They have made two partial payments, but we did not know what to do with the money. We have made attempts to contact the ROC about how to proceed, but no one has returned our calls or communicated with us. I do not want this issue closed until we have received full payment. They did try to call me, but since it was after the default was in place I did not return the call. Is it okay for me to talk to them. That will not jeopardize the case in any way, will it? Thanks

First, this is your complaint. You are in charge of where it goes, unless it is outside statutes. If the Respondent pays, then the complaint is resolved and we have no jurisdiction. This is not a civil matter, it is administrative. If you refuse payment, you will have to provide a judge a legitimate reason why and what the Respondent owes. Secondly, there has been no 'defaults" issued. We did receive a response to the notice, but it looks like a payment on one of the cases. Next, if you decide to litigate this to a civil matter, then we may dismiss the case until that has been resolved, or exhausted. The Registrar is not going to take sides as we are a regulatory agency.

Please let me know where each of these complaints stand.

Respondent’s license(s).

THE WRITTEN COMPLAINT

On April 15, 2024, Quick Maintenance Solutions, LLC DBA: Quick Flooring Solutions

(“Complainant”) filed a written complaint with the Registrar. A copy of that Complaint is

attached to this Citation.

A FORMAL STATEMENT OF THE CHARGES AGAINST RESPONDENT

The Registrar investigated this matter and finds cause to charge Respondent with

Hello Arizona Registrar of Contractors,

This is a response to Complaint No. 2024-04388

Quick Flooring Solutions/ Quick Maintenance Solutions (QMS) is claiming they are owed $28,323 which is a balance from a pay application totaling $58,323, but a contract was never written for that amount, nor were any change orders ever agreed to.

Timeline: 2/21/23 Quote: The original quote was from Primera who Royce Garcia worked for at the time. The quote was in the amount of $36,607

Work started

4/20/23 Text: No show of crew for the week, not meeting production, behind schedule

6/5/23 Email/ QMS Quote: Correspondence with Royce (now with QMS) requesting reason for price change, price doubled, why?

6/9/23 Text: Crew no showed for the week again

6/20/23 Text: Don't send the crew back up, need to get a different company to finish. Lack of communication, change in pricing, guys don't show up and are way behind. At this time the project owner is furious

At this point we had to find another tile company to help us. Compas Flooring helped us. We paid Compas $21,000 to finish. https://mail.google.com/mail/b/AEoRXRT4l-02SqEaej7U4BJhG0yLuiEy5jb7IpIRcKArNrE-xxZX/u/0/?ik=581c53cf5c&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thr… 1/4 Received 6/18/24, 8:51 AM State of Arizona Mail - Fwd: Notice of No-Pay Complaint 2024-04388 6/17/2024 ROC Legal Compas Checks, Clifton is job number 22-053: 7145 $11,000 7201 $9,000 7235 $1000

Total paid to Compas = $21,000

Attached are proposals, text messages, correspondence and checks to Compas that follow the sequence above. These items show that we had an amount $36,607, work started, the amount and company changed and we had difficulty getting the crew to show up to an out of town job. We had to find another company to finish. What this doesn't show is the schedule delay, loss of owner confidence and time spent trying to fix this issue.

Even if we did agree to the $58,323 amount that was on the pay application, which we didn't, there was a lot of work left to do. The total amount owed to QMS of $58323 should not even be a question of whether the full amount should be paid. As we've shown, we paid Compas $21,000 to finish the job.

If we deduct $21,000 (amount paid to Compas to finish) from the $58,323 (proposed by QMS, but not agreed to by Breise) the difference would be $37,323. Briese has paid QMS $30,000 to date, the balance between the $37,323 and the 30,000 is $7,323.

I reached out to Lee Ferris via phone (5/8/23; 1:00 PM) and left him a message that we want to resolve this. In order to resolve this issue we will be proposing to pay QMS $7,323, even though we dispute the revised amount of $58,323.

Should we update you on how negotiations are progressing with QMS? What are the next steps given we will try to negotiate this and get it behind us?

Thank you,

Justin Jensen Breise Construction (602) 390-2603

Sorry about the delay is been long days and evening getting things up and running. The tile originally was porcelain on floors and walls. After we started changes happened from porcelain to marble with a lot of custom labor. The LF is the 3x6 boarder with a 6x6 on every corner inside and out lined with a metal. These have to be set first and the SF would calculate to about 300$ boarders like this are by the LF. Also the field tile is thicker than the boarder tile. Wall tile again is custom when they decided to add the 6x6 and pencil liners with a chair rail to cap. It’s original but the tile changed again marble with outer corners having to be beveled and p I love this kind of work but being 5 hours away makes it difficult to manage, like all grey thinset was purchased so I purchased alot of white. 3 layers of rock board and self leveling all the room the master upstairs to make it a walk in with no curb. A lot of custom work is going into this project, Victor and I went thru this throughly I priced it as if I was going to have to transfer it to Primera last minute if needed. I’ll see what I can give.

Royce, Nowhere in your two bids does it show any change to any scope or materials and the materials have never changed or the patterns so you'll need to provide the documentation as to justify the doubling of the costs with the exact same quotes just one is two times more money. No checks will be cut until we have a proper accounting and some sort of waiver from Primera.
