Industrial Solutions Handyman Services

I am sending you copies of the contract with [redacted]. I will be sending you a cd containing the house prior to me fixing the shoddy work Mr [redacted] aka Industrial Solutions Handyman Services, aka Industrial Solutions, aka Industrial Solutions Contractors, aka Industrial Solutions Contracting. I will also be mailing you copies of pictures of the house. Also I will be sending you copies of the receipts from the items I purchased to do items that was not on the contract.   Please see the contracts where [redacted] has signed it under 2 or 3 different business names different from the business name he originally gave me. I have put over 16,000.00 dollars into the house to fix his shoddy work. I will need about 6,000.00 more to finish the master bathroom and to fix the plumbing he did under the house. The lines have to be replaced where Mr. [redacted] did not brace them the correct way causing them to be damaged. I would like to let you know Mr. [redacted] set up inspection times with the building inspector without my knowledge and with out me being present. If you would like to contact the building inspector to verify his name is [redacted], 740- 477-8282. I had problems with Mr. [redacted] not sticking to the contract. I told Mr. [redacted] on numerous occasions to stick to the contract. When I would tell Mr. [redacted] not to do something he would do it any ways. I feel I gave Mr. [redacted] 3 chances to fix my house. The first was when he told me what he was doing and I told him not to do it that way and he would. The second is when after he did it I told him to fix it. ( He never did) he told me to deal with it or it was my responsibility to fix it if I didn't like it, or stop being picky until I get the final draw. I felt as if he was going to get the final draw and never show back up to fix anything.  The third is when I emailed [redacted] my concerns and told him there was no reason for a final inspection until my concerns were meet. (that was on August 13, 2013) Mr. [redacted] contacted [redacted] on August 14, 2013 to set up a time to get the final draw. Only 6 of the 42 items on my list had been fixed. So I changed the locks on the house. Mr. [redacted] had no intentions on fixing the concerns I had.  I have found auction stickers on the trim he put up, I have cabinets that are suppose to be new per contract that have a date stamped on them Dec. 26, 1988. The doors on the inside of the house were supose to be pine because they were cheaper than solid oak, Mr. [redacted] told me he had them purchased before he had the contract on the house and that he got them for the same price as the pine. Now he is saying they are more. I want the mechanical lean removed along with getting the 19,400.00 I have already paid him. I feel I am entitled to the 10,000.00 bond he has on my house along with the rest of the 203k loan for the aggravation of having to redo the shoddy work Mr. [redacted] has done to my house.
Thank You,
[redacted]

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to respond to Ms. [redacted]. Unfortunately, Ms. [redacted] is not allowed to move into her house as it has not passed a final inspection.
To review, Ms. [redacted] and I entered into a contract for home repairs on March 28, 2013. (attached)
Work began the first...

week of May 2013.
Inspections on May 23, 2013 reflect the following
                Framing inspection disapproved – needs jack studs at beams
                Hvac inspection disapproved – run metal piping for dryer vent add clean out for vent
                Electrical inspection disapproved – lots of stuff, see attached

May 26, 2013 – The original loan contract is with [redacted]. The bank sent an inspector before the draw was approved. The inspector, and Ms. [redacted] and I were present at the inspection at [redacted]. I told the bank appraiser that:
                The drywall in master bedroom was not up to code
                Room additions not tied to house correctly
I provided a copy of the Dept. of Building Regulations & Inspections report dated 3.20.13 to the bank appraiser and Ms. [redacted]. It is my position that all of the items on the original inspection report had to be corrected by him in order to complete his original contract, and the costs associated with the work equal $17,441.41.    
Inspection on May 30, 2014        
Insulation vapor barrier inspection approved  
June 25, 2013 - A check issued from [redacted] for $19,400.00. Some communication took place between Mr. [redacted] and [redacted], [redacted], he indicating to her     
Work was complete per the contract in mid-August 2013. 
August 11, 2014 – Mr. [redacted] faxed a request for $17,441.41 to [redacted] at [redacted]. I have not heard from [redacted] since the date of the inspection. She did not respond to my calls for assistance.
In August, at the property, my attorney, [redacted] of [redacted] and [redacted],[redacted], ###-###-####, and her attorney, and myself, [redacted] and Ms. [redacted] met at the property. ( I do not remember who her attorney is.) Nothing came out of the meeting. We went through the house. She expressed several concerns about the home. We sat at a picnic table in the backyard. Her attorney asked if I was going to finish the items on the final inspection concerning the exterior of the house. I said I would not it was not part of my contract and I wasn’t paid for the work I did do.    
I have not received any further payments.  
I do not know if the bank paid [redacted] the balance due on the contract, which would be $9,600.00.
There is also the question of the labor and materials for the work that had to be done per the inspector reports, which totaled $17,441.41.
The original contract was for $29,000.00.
I filed a mechanic’s lien on the property on 9.20.13 for $39,841.41.
The building inspection report at the beginning and at the end stated the same problems with the property.
My position on the items on the inspection sheet dated 8.15.13 by [redacted] is as follows:
1.       Grade runs toward house – not in his contract
2.       Wall hydrants not secured – this is on the exterior of the home, and is not in his contract
3.       3. Siding not correct – exterior no in his contract
4.       Kitchen counter gfi does not work – repaired same day and re-inspected same day
5.       Kitchen counter receptacles no power -  repaired same day and re-inspected same day
6.       Kitchen counter receptacles loose on wall -    repaired same day and re-inspected same day
7.       Receptacles throughout not tamper resistant -  repaired same day and re-inspected same day
8.       Garbage disposal needs ½” emt installed - repaired same day and re-inspected same day
9.       Hand guard missing on garbage disposal - repaired same day and re-inspected same day
10.   No final plumbing inspection – crawl space flooded
11.   Needs connections on lv wires at terminals - repaired same day and re-inspected same day
12.   Needs disconnect on water heater - repaired same day and re-inspected same day
13.   Water heater not properly grounded – fixed when disconnect was changed out and reinspected
14.   Need steps out of added rooms – exterior, not in his contract
15.   Outdoor ac overcurrent maxi is 20 amp - repaired same day and re-inspected same day
16.   House trim loose – exterior, not in  his contract
17.   Exposed untreated wood on exterior – not in his contract
It is my opinion the inspection was “disapproved” because of the items on the list not in his contract. Arrangements had been made for another inspection to take place on 8.16.13. When I arrived, the locks had been changed, so no inspection took place. I did not talk to her about the lock change.
Please note the warranty clause in the [redacted] contract reads: “the contractor will provide a one year warranty on all labor and materials used in the rehabilitation of the property. This warranty must extend one year from the date of completion of the contract or longer if prescribed by law unless otherwise specified by other terms of this contract. Disputes will be resolved through the Construction industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
