Review: [redacted] of [redacted] Construction Inc was hired to renovate my home after a fire. An original estimate was provided by Mr. [redacted] on December 11, 2012. Asbestos estimate was provided in February 2013 by Mr. [redacted] Lockbox placed on my door in May 2013 and architectural sealed drawings were prepared and ready in early June 2013. All documents (contract, letter of intent to repair, and contractor information, etc) were prepared and sent to the mortgage in early June 2013. From the very beginning of the renovation, Mr. [redacted] was informed that there was a deadline. A time schedule was requested and Mr. [redacted] was told the renovation was expected to be done before/by August 2013. Mr. [redacted] promised to be on site daily and to have all his employees on site daily working from 8 am to 5 pm. However, Mr. [redacted] was never on the work site during the day. His employees never worked from 8 am to 5 pm on a daily bases. On average during the entire renovation, workers were only on site two to three days per week always after 9:00 and gone before 3:30 pm. Painters worked in the evening last couple weeks of the renovation. Mr. [redacted] has failed to provide itemized bill upon several request. I was told several items could not be purchased because I was over budget. When I requested receipts my request were ignored. Mr. [redacted] had an excessive delay in completing the repairs. Even though Mr. [redacted] received $17, 945 on June 26, 2013 and contract was signed on June 26, 2013, Mr. [redacted] by his own admission stated he did not start renovation until July 22, 2013. Mr. [redacted] failed my request to return items purchased for my home repair. Mr. [redacted] performed an unauthorized and inferior tile work in hallway bathroom and master bathroom. Mr. [redacted] contacted my mortgage company without authorization twice despite my assistance that he not. Mr. [redacted] has been extremely unprofessional and refuse to complete renovation as agreed.Desired Settlement: Complete renovation, submit receipts, return tile, and compile with [redacted] township inspectors requests

Response:

We signed a contract with Ms. [redacted] on June 24th that included a construction schedule, which she signed noting the job would take 9 weeks from the time the permits are issued. We could not lawfully begin work until the permits were issued. The permits were issued on July 22nd the day we began construction at [redacted] Therefore, there was no deadline of end of August. We completed the project on September 29, 2013 – one week passed our agreed construction schedule. The one week delay was due to the fact we requested approval for fixtures to go in the bathrooms but did not receive a response from Ms. [redacted]. Per the contract attached, we were to replace all fixtures with mid-grade fixtures to match what was existing prior to the fire. There was a verbal agreed upon budget of $1600 per bathroom as a courtesy so Ms. [redacted] could get more then what she had existing. We were very accommodating and allowed the client to go over budget with above grade tile and a $900 Jacuzzi tub – we have receipts; however, nowhere in our contract does it state we have to provide receipts. Ultimately, we provided custom, special order material in the bathroom that was over and above what the contract stated. One week is not an excessive delay in construction and within our agreed upon schedule. We have been more than professional and fair throughout this entire process. We have not failed to provide anything Ms. [redacted] has requested. We sent an itemized list within our invoice to Ms. [redacted] and her insurance adjuster on September 25th. We did in fact contact her mortgage company after failed attempts to obtain a payment schedule from Ms. [redacted]. The payment schedule directly affects the construction process and we have every right to know when and how we will be getting paid. Per our contract, we were to obtain 1/3 down, 1/3 mid project and 1/3 at completion. – this payment schedule was not followed. Per an email from Ms.[redacted] she communicated to us on July 17th that our last 3rd payment is to be issued to us when we are 95% complete. At this point, we are 100% completed per the contract. Ms. [redacted] has made a number of requests that were outside of our contract and we have completed some of them as a courtesy. The last reasonable request was to return to do touch up paint even though the scuffs were made post remodel by the moving in of furniture by Ms. [redacted] and her furniture company. We scheduled this service to take place this Wednesday, 10/9 even after we had requested final payment and submitted all required documents to Ms. [redacted] without any response or reassurance that payment is on its way. She responded that we cannot gain access to her property during business hours because she works from 7:30 – 6:30 so we would have to come on a Saturday two weeks out from now. At that point, we decided to proceed with legal recourse ( yesterday October 8th) because we have completed the project and $23,739.81 does not equate to one or two scuff marks needing touching up. We have requested our final payment on numerous occasions because we have completed the agreed upon scope per our contract. There is absolutely nothing we have done wrong. We have followed all protocol and have acted in the most professional manner. We also provided a beautiful remodel as you can see in the pictures. In direct response to the desired settlement: Renovations were completed on September 29, 2013 and all inspections passed the week of September 30th. We submitted our final invoice. We do not have to provide receipts – nowhere did we agree upon this, we are not obligated to return unused material; however, we gave a couple hundred dollars worth of flooring to customer (see pic) and left tile in garage – she would have to go in the garage to see that. Again, all inspections have passed per the [redacted] Township (please see the official CO attached.) At this time we are owed (per the invoice attached) a sum of $23,739.81 and have sought out counsel to obtain what is rightfully owed to us. We believe Ms. [redacted] is willing to do everything in her power to avoid paying what is rightfully due. However, because we have followed protocol both legally and professionally throughout the entire process this complaint is not valid and we are confident we can prove so to the Revdex.com. If the Revdex.com requires additional information, please let us know. We have everything documented. *Could only attach a few pics - have more if need be
