STAY AWAY!

STAY AWAY!

On the 7th of July 2025, I paid Mike a R37,516.50 deposit to install a pergola and adjustable louvre system.

After months of multiple postponements and second chances, I eventually gave him a final opportunity. Please note that one of the postponement reasons was due to his installer being arrested the night before the rescheduled installation.

On 27 October (almost 4 months later), I gave him a final opportunity to complete the installation or provide a full refund. He agreed to provide a refund. He subsequently asked for additional time and proposed a three-part payment plan totaling R30,000, which I accepted in good faith, as I just wanted to move on. He selected his own repayment dates, which he AGAIN failed to honour.

On the 26th of November (almost 5 months later), I then sent him a letter of demand for the full amount. On the 3rd of December, his lawyer contacted me and again agreed/guaranteed payment by the 12th of December. This again did not happen. The lawyer subsequently decided to no longer represent him.

I then started posting reviews, as I would like to stop others from burning their fingers and losing money. In the process, a few other people have reached out saying that the same thing has happened to them.

On the 17th of December (almost 6 months later), Mike’s father’s lawyers or auditors guaranteed payment by the end of February via email. This did not happen.

We are now in April (over 9 months later) and still have not received a cent of our R37,000. He has also managed to get all other bad reviews removed off of his page. All I can do now is warn others.

P.S. I have documented proof of everything that has happened and I am happy to show it to anyone who would like to see it.
