Mrs*** *** has been uncooperative and unreasonable from the onset of this jobWe have had to have the Housing Authority intervene and act as a mediator several times, generally over items that are not in the contract to be doneShe has continuously held up progress on the job by not having
her belongings moved out of the way, which is her responsibility according to the contractShe has been rude and abnoxious, screaming obscenities and slamming and breaking doorsShe made an agreement with the Housing Authority to not be on the job from 8am to 3pm everyday, yet she continuously shows up on a daily basisSeveral subcontractors will not return to the job, unless they are sure she is not going to be on the jobAll subcontractors license numbers have been given to the Housing Authority, no one is working here without a licenseI have passed all County inspections on work completed to this dateAll completed work has been over seen by the Housing Authority and Nevada County Building Dept..to their standardsMrs*** *** seems to believe that she knows more about the construction trade than the licensed Contractors that are working for her and the Inspectors that inspect the jobShe is constantly second guessing how I perform my work and is unrealistic about how much time it takes to do the workShe is expecting a new house from a house that could be condemnedI have discussed pulling out of this contract with the Housing Authority and she declined letting me leave, and requested that she finished doing all the paintingI credited her for half of the paintingThis person seems to be very unreasonable since she tells you one thing and then the Housing Authority another thing.Sent on: 7/23/10:44:PM

The unreasonable complaints keep coming and I asked for a Release of Contract 6 weeks prior. I sent in the paperwork to credit her 1/2 of the painting cost, but she refuses to sign the paperwork. She refuses to Release me from the Contract. She delayed the work on the bathroom floor by not signing the paperwork for that work to be done; it was a 10 day wait before she signed. She is still holding payment for my last bill for labor and material, by once again not signing the paperwork. She did not make the rooms accessible for the electrician to work until 7/31/15. These continual delays have not let the job go well and timely. My work has passed all inspections by the Housing Authority and Nevada County Building Inspectors, but she still claims it is sub-standard. I once again ask for a Release of Contract so she can get another Contractor. She needs to be aware that no progress can be made until she signs the work orders.

I am rejecting this response because: [redacted] work has been unskilled and unprofessional from the onset.  He seems to think that the "Grades and Standards" contract doesn't apply to him.  When I said "you are suppose to paint over a defective free surface". He says to [redacted] "she's talking about that other paper" with a dismissive wave. When observing Sheetrock dust over the entire floor, I say "the contract says you are suppose to paint in a dust free environment". He says,"my sprayer doesn't create any dust".   Housing Authority has intervened twice at my request. I have stopped progress once for two days because the six piers he was suppose to place under my house to help level it are not sunk into the ground and he only put two new ones down   One with a 1-1/2 ft beam under a four ft beam  giving my house no support. I reques[redacted] he have a building inspector check his work before continuing. He may have passed inspections called on but Building inspector was not called and piers were not checked.  My belongings have been in the front yard for approximately 8 weeks and I occupy one bedroom in the house. He has had two contractors on sight. Because of the quality of work by the painter I ask for him not to return until he show a license. It took approximately 3 weeks and several requests to produce a license.   I do not pretend to know more about construction than a licensed contractor but I do know what the surface of a wall is suppose to look like and what he is giving me is not right. I do have a problem with how long it takes for him to complete a job. He tore my only bathtub out on July 8 and it was not ready to use until July 22.  On July 20 he screwd in one shower enclosure wall. On July 21 he screwed in another. On July 22 he installed the bathroom window.  On the 23rd he trimmed it. On July 24 he installed the glass enclosure doors. ALl days showed no other work. His work days are approximately 3 hours long   He asked I not be on sight when I insis[redacted] he protect my newly installed carpet before continuing to walk back and forth on it.  I am not a violent person and I have not slammed or broken any doors. I was recently informed that he told a friend of mine that I've turned the electrician away four times because I'm not ready for him. This has not happened at all. Also he said if I did not stop this complaint with the Revdex.com, he was going to make things hard on me. When admiring the good installation he had done on my bedroom windows, I realized they had been installed on top of a completely rot[redacted] out window ceil and it had been caulked and pain[redacted] to conceal it.  The massive overspray on my hardwood floor makes it impossible to use them as an advantage when selling the place.  Most of  The cut outs for the plugs are bigger than the plate covers He has left beer cans on the ground and I have had to request in writing he not smoke marijuana on the job. Debris everywhere and screws in the driveway. August 15th is the deadline and he is pressuring me into signing a change order so he can tear out a deck for $3200. Unless they uncover something then it would be more.  He wants to do this and then if time permits finish installing the windows. [redacted] sees nothing wrong with his finished product. [redacted] says fill a few nail holes. The contract says paint over a defective free surface. Am I to understand that the "Grades and Standards" contact doesn't apply?  That nothing in the contract counts and only minimal unskilled work is necessary with no regard to safety?
