Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness We have been working with K2 for months. still attempting to get everything we need and were promised. I have been attempting to contact them for 2 weeks about a drawing I should have had 3 weeks ago. No response, not even from the owner. Don't waste your time.

Report
All of the organization and professionalism of a frat house. Recommended building a retaining wall over the top of our water and sewer mains to shore up a sagging porch. That'll be $500 please. Jared was argumentative and defensive from the start (threatening collections) when debating the charges.
