Dilema resolved: My pb and the Sundek contractor have worked out a solution to complete the existing jobs. I don't know what their relationship will be beyond that though.

However, without going into detail, when I learned the nature of the problems between my pb and the sub, I've opted to go with another decking installer also used by my pb. It is the exact same product, purchased from the same factory, but without the liscensing. Sundek only allows one dealer per city/sales area. However, the product, color (even color name), installation, and warranty will all be the same.

If you live in Houston and are considering Sundek, send me an e-mail or pm and I can provide you with a little more detail.
