Baker's General Contracting

we hired him to do a bathroom shower When it was finished the tiles are not even,some stick way out from the wall, and the grout lines are horrible, some thicker than a pencil It looks like a bunch of kids did it When we finally took time and had a good look at it we were horrified how bad it was It is now going to cost us double to have this mess torn out and another contractor fix it Mr Baker sent a letter with our check, and said his worker was sick Wow, really, instead of calling Mr Baker or if Mr Baker knew at the time, taking this guy off the job and putting someone else Mr Baker saw what a horrible job was done, but took the rest of the payment haaaaa So I guess he wasn't as honest or concerned about the job that was done We thought about taking legal action against him, but in Indiana the legal system leaves much to be desired also

August I was hired to remodel/finish thier basement and kitchen for MrAnd Mrs Terry Knight after completing the basement minus a minor punch list we had starting work on the kitchen.The scope of this work required us to prep the exsisting kitchen for the the cabinet installer they
contracted this included demoing the old kitchen removing exsisting wallboard repairing drywall and installing a new customer supplied ceramic floor tileThe customers had a quality issue with the floor tile, there was a variation in the tile that they suppliedThis is where the job went southMr.and MrsKnight where unhappy/ unsatisfied with the workmanship of the subcontractor I had hiredThis subcontractor no longer performs any services for me They had suggested it was best if we just parted ways at this pointI tried to rectify their complaints but to no availAt this time all parties involved collectively decided it was best that we would not fufill the contact to completionI was owed roughly $on the remaider of the contractThis final payment that I agreed to surrender would have been my profit on the jobNearly all of their payments up until this point went directly to the expenses of thier job paying subcontractors, labor, materials and disposal fees etcMy portion of the contract was percent complete and nearly percent of the payment was withheldThe balance owed on the contract was well over the amount necessary to complete the remainder of the contract. I too am an unhappy party to this complaintI wish things would have worked out better for both of usWithout resorting to any personal attacks on Mrand MrsKnight I will just say that they were very difficult customers to work for and leave it at that
