Cornerstone Construction Jack Toki Abandonment, Destruction of Property, Inconsistent Workmanship, Debris & Filth Fremont, California

A nightmare. Hiring Cornerstone Construction and Jack Toki has cost us many sleepless nights and about twice as much money as we bargained for. Over three months of anguish for a three-week project. We hired this company to relandscape our back yard. They showed us a nice portfolio and did pretty drawings of our yard before we hired them. They asked for money up front and continued to ask for money until we realized we were on the verge for paying for the entire project. Then they disappeared leaving our back and front yards torn up, parts of our
house damaged from being smashed by equipment, part of the yard used as a toilet, and piles of debris and waste everywhere. We ultimately paid them more than the contract price and are left with having to hire another company to fix the damage and finish the project. We did everything we could to work with them, but they took advantage of us. They are tricky because they are actually quite skilled and may start a project well before they claim to run out of money and either get you to pay more than they are due or abandon the job. Too bad we only found the other scam report on them after they had already abandoned us. Maybe by filing this report, we can adequately warn the next potential victim before it's too late. We have become a pariah in our new neighborhood because of all the mess. Beware beware BEWARE!!!

This is exactly what Mr. Jack Toki did to me. Mr. Toki came to my house for a total yard landscaping project. I paid him more than the contract price. He is very convincing and swore that he would finish the job. He barely finished 60% of the job and left the front yard looking like a dumpster. We were lured into believing and hoping that he would complete the job, as he promised, and as our contract stipulated. The work Mr. Toki did looks okay, but he is gone with our money and is not responding. It has been months. I sent letters and left voicemails and i just hired another contractor to come finish the job. The whole experience was demeaning, and I feel used. If you hire this company, which I would definitely not recommend, do not pay them any money upfront or before they earn it. Otherwise, you may end up in the same situation as I'm in.
