Able Mobile Housing provides temporary housing to families after a disaster i.e. fire, flood, etc or when a family desires to reside in a trailer on their property while reconstruction/new construction takes place. The service can be paid through a consumer's insurance company or out of pocket.
What they offer is needed and can help a family gain some stability; the problem starts when Able contracts with vendors and construction contractors to perform their services. A contractor is hired to move a mobile home unit (sizes 8 x 40 to DW 28 x 60) to the consumer's property. The cost varies up to $12K at best. The unit must be set, utilities connected along with other variables - as well the prior location of the unit is a storage facility that anticipates monthly payment for housing the unit.
Able touts itself to pay contractors within 30 days. Many contractors have experienced slow payments, told their payment is pending beyond 30 days because the check is waiting to be signed by one of the owners in the accounting process. Funds may take years in some cases because a contractor's check has been pushed to the side week after week. It is rumored that the money has been spent on mobile home parks owned by Wellington Grande Ltd. It is a fact that some contractor's checks have bounced on more than 1 occassion. The contractor/vendor that screams the loudest or is needed most in a situation is the contractor that is paid and kept satisfied.
What is/has been frustrating to employees i..e Service Coordinators, Pick Up Housing Coordinators is that they are told by former and potential contractors and vendors "I will NEVER do business with Able again!" becasue of prior slow payment/no payment!
The owner and coordinators operate without integrity. Talking to someone who wants to be paid for their services is disheartening when you know this is someone's livelyhood! Consumers who are leasing the temporary unit have been threatened with liens on their property. Insurance companies have chosen not to refer their services to Able because of these practices.
Worst situation for me personally, when I informed the owner a vendor/contractor wants to be paid to continue to do work with Able, and his response is "Find someone else." Why wouldn't he choose to pay the contractor? Why wouldn't he consider his reputation, his word and initially our word to a contractor we've entered into a contract with SHOULD BE PAID FOR THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE!!!!
I did services for this Company "Able Mobile Housing" spring of 2015, I still have not been paid for services rendered. They ignore my phone calls and attempt to collect payment owed to me. I have spoke to other contractors in the area who also have not been paid. I do not recommend working for this Company, you will be wasting your time. Wayne's Home Service Co. Flushing, MI.
Able Housing Inc will not pay us for the services we performed. 7/31/15 Able contacted our company to set up a trailer for a customer of theirs to stay in while his house was being rebuilt after a tree fell on the house and caused water damaged. Between 8/1/15 and 8/19/15 we coordinated various services that needed to be completed in order for us to set up the trailer that they were having delivered. 8/19/15 we spent the day setting up the trailer, picking up needed items such as steps, leveling the trailer, connecting it to water, electricity, and sewer, testing the operation of all appliances, water lines, lp lines as needed for Able's customer to move in. 8/21/15 sent completed invoice and forms supplied by Able via fax for payment to Able. After a short period of time, contacted Able requesting payment. They stated that they did not receive the proper forms, re-faxed the forms. After another short period of time, contacted Able again, and they stated that they had not received the forms. Re-faxed them again. Every contact with Able after that we were told that "it was being processed" 10/28/15 We were contacted by the customer who hired Able requesting that we pick up the blocks and steps from their property. So we picked up the steps and blocks and brought them back to our shop. 11/2/15 Stayce at Able emailed me and asked if we picked up the steps and blocks, I emailed her back and told her yes. Every attempt now after that to collect our payment from them has been answered with that they want us to remove the steps and the blocks off of our bill. We told them they are welcome to come here and pick the steps and the blocks up. The steps are Not even billed on our invoice, they bought them from another party and we picked them up for Able and delivered and installed to the site.
