KMS Woodworks on Mar 31, 2013Deb...I would think a call to an attorney is in order. It seems to me that these guys were being a bit reckless with your home. As far as the missing gold, call your local law enforcement, city cops, county sheriff. whom ever has jurisdiction over you area....that should have been done as soon as you noticedHelpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Mar 31, 2013@Debra Huffman I think @KMS Woodworks has provided good advice and would encourage you to follow through on it. If the company doing the work was bonded, find out who they are bonded through and contact that company. If there is a problem with your insurance covering the costs, I would contact them as to what your dispute is currently. I would also contact the insurance board for your area for advice on how to proceed and the proper path to follow. In our area, we have Better Business Bureaus to register complaints against businesses, they don't have the power to really help you but at least the complaint is registered and those contacting them about a business reputation are fore warned. Try to get all responses in writing including from the company doing the work, either by post or e-mail so that you have documentation for each step. Wishing you luck with a happy outcome :) Thanks for posting.Helpful Reply

SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC on Mar 31, 2013To add to the above (though calling an attorney falls to the bottom of my list) You may also wish to contact your insurance company (the poor work they will probably state is between you & the contractor) but paying the correct amount to make you whole again (assuming full replacement is on them) Theft should be covered (minus a deductible) Contact the BBB, state insurance board & the States Attorney General - they maybe able to help you / point you in right direction while hopefully helping to prevent said company from doing this to others. Unfortunately you do not have a state agency or board that oversees licensing, but there maybe one local that you should consider contactingHelpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Mar 31, 2013@Debra Huffman sometimes businesses have to have a license from the city, so you could also contact them.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Apr 01, 2013Go to your insurance commissioner and file a complaint. Georgia used to have the best. Some years ago they put people off for 2 years after a tornado. Our commissioner finally got tired of the complaints and gave the 30 days to settle EVERY outstanding claim in the state or get out of the state. With Billions in policies over 900 or so houses made the Ins companies get it done! It also put the citizens in the catbird seat! At the same time, go to the bonding company. Did you ask for a copy of the bond from the bonding company or did you just take their word for it? Go to the police too! File charges. There is a lot a citizen can do. Get your proof together. You can do nothing unless you work for it. Contact charities for help...Habitat for the Humanities comes to mind. The Baptist Men's group built a house for a widow in my mom's neighborhood and help Mom and Dad fix up their place. Get active! Go for a grant! Call your congressman and ask for help. Write a letter laying out the details to your congressman and ask for assistance.Helpful Reply
