JIM SEITZ CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC

Review: Signed a contract with Jim Seitz to build a multi-level, single family home on a lot which we already owned. The contract stated the house was to be started in May 2011 with a completion date of December 2011.

We became overly concerned around October 2011 (2 months before the projected completion date) when the house was less than half complete and Jim was not returning our calls. When he finally did contact us, he assured us the house would be completed and he used excuses such as the weather and health problems from his framer as to the delays in the project. Over the next few months minor work was done with weeks of inactivity. Contact with Jim continued to be very difficult and when it was made he denied any financial problems and continuously promised "things will really start to pick up". By the end of September 2012, and the house still not wrapped for protection from the elements, we informed Jim we would hire another company to finish the house.

The new company came in immediately and found problems with the work Jim did. A few of the major problems found were: insulation and dry wall were exposed to the elements because the house was not weatherproofed which caused mold and water damage, the electrical wiring was run to an area not approved by the electric company causing us to rewire the electric, parts of the copper trim used on the roof were incorrectly installed causing water to leak through, 3 bathroom tubs were not connected into the main sewer line. We also found out that some subcontractors were not paid for services they rendered and materials they supplied although money was released from the bank for them.Desired Settlement: We feel Jim Seitz should refund our down payment and reimburse us for the damages to our house that were caused by his negligence.
