As per our conversation in regards to your cabinets, you stated in a text message that you would deal with that issue at a later date. Your exterior walls are at least 7/8" out of level. So therefore that would throw measurements off more than what original measurements were. There is only so much that can be done. Also, I did not damage ANY cabinet. The crown moulding pin holes were filled, I did more work than was on my work order without submitting an invoice. You are the type of client that contractors try their hardest to avoid. Those pictures are for my portfolio. If I am to remove those pictures, I am going to ask you to remove your slanderous post you made on [redacted] about me and not say one more slanderous thing about me. You are strictly complaining about miniscule punch list items when in fact, you have a whole new positive value to your home. Also, you have a desk job as a numbers guy for a construction company. You do not know the process the way you think you do. And check with unincorporated [redacted] county - my work is 100% built to code. There's another lie you are trying to tell. As a matter of fact, when my framing inspection happened, the inspector chuckled and said I OVERBUILT your addition. The house will blow over before my addition will. This will be my final response. I'm done dealing with someone who cannot seem to tell the whole truth and who is not pleasable Regards
