1/5
BUYER BEWARE: If you expect a company to stand by their word and/or products... RUN. We performed a multi-million dollar remodel on our home spending a significant amount of money with Westside. After almost 2 years of trying to get faulty hardware replaced with employees of Westside, our builder finally was able to get Alan Fishman (Owner) to visit our home to inspect our issues. He readily agreed that 4 of our door handles were faulty and attempted to place blame on the fifth to the steel door install, (door has not been operable for 1.5 years) claimed handle broke due to a stiff steel door (I do not agree), however, he still agreed to replace all 5 and would be in-touch when they were available as supply chains are still strained..
After a few months our builder reached out regarding status and he replied with some texts that contained lies, unprofessionalism, arrogance, and were downright rude. Mr. Fishman claimed he "texted" me and I didn't respond - so he sent them back?
Actual text: Hey Ryan (builder)
I reached out twice with no response
So all was sent back
I can reorder but
Instead of no charge favors
Westside has cost
And I’ll see what that was
Approx 5-600.00
Let me know when or if I should reorder
Alan
Our records show 0 texts. Replacing faulty merchandise after 1.5 years+ of attempts is not a "favor".
QUESTIONS? So he orders replacement parts... claims he sends 2 texts... then sends them back? He could have called us? He could have called/texted the builder? He could have left a voicemail? He just sent them back!? He wants to now charge full price?
Mr. Fishman knows he didn't text, call, or attempt to notify - he knows this because I believe he never ordered or intended to make anything right.
After reviewing some other online reviews (see Yelp) on Westside and Mr. Fishman - this is just who he is. BUYER BEWARE... if all goes well you're probably ok? If you need a company to stand by their overpriced merchandise... you're on your own. Mr. Fishman will pretend to address an issue, make the problem your fault, then chastise you to save a buck.
I'll end this review with a simple line from Mr. Fishman's text to me and our builder: "I expected way more from a great business man like you.."
So did we Alan Fishman... so did we.
