In response to MrPerrin's comments: He states he lost days work because there wasn't enough anchor boltsBy the time I was able to acquire more bolts and get them to the job site, he already had the sill plates in place so how could he have lost time? In the first place the first day he came to the site was only to inspect the situation to see what he needed to do the jobThe 1/4" discrepancy on the block wall was promptly modified by the concrete contractor after MrPerrin notified himThere was NO time loss for Perrin Construction as there was plenty of other work to be performed on the jobAt this time MrPerrin states the walls were plumb and yet later states they were not? If the walls were plumb then why did he raise them 1/2"? He says he set up his transit and found the footings in the garage area and crawl space to be correct but that the west wall of the basement was 1/4" lowHow can this be as he so stated the walls were plumb? MrPerrin is correct in stating that at that time we discussed what was needed to be doneAt this time he had me convinced the concrete was off, not showing me, and later proven he was wrongHe states I purchased 2x8's that were 1/2" thick instead of the 1/4" that he neededMrPerrin knows only to well, at least I hope he does, that there is NO construction lumber available in 1/4" thickness unless you buy decking materials or something of that natureAll 2x materials are 1/2" thickAfter installing the 2x8's MrPerrin states the walls were correct which is incorrect because I showed him with a 4' level that they were offHis comment was that you cannot use a 4' level because their always wrongI have to question that remark because if it were true why are they manufactured?

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/08/23) */
I was contracted to install SIP Panel walls for [redacted]. [redacted] was going to
install the interior walls for the job.
[redacted] called and said he was ready for us to start the job. When we arrived to
do the job, the footings did not...

have any anchor bolts in the footings and [redacted] did
not have any at the job site. For this reason, we could not start the job that day.
We lost an entire day of work for myself and 3 other employees. The next day, [redacted]
got the anchor bolts, which we installed and then started setting the walls. We had
to leave the job site again as the block wall between the basement walls and the
crawl space were not done. Walls for the basement were "plumb" at this time.
When the block walls were installed (NOT done by Perrin Construction, this was a
cement contractor's responsibility) the east block wall was 1 1/4" over the footings on
the crawl space. Top of the block wall measured 24" to top of basement wall on the
east and west walls, however, was 1 1/4" over the footings on the crawl space.
I set up the Transit and took readings on the footings and found that the footings for the
garage and crawl space were correct, but the west wall on the basement was 1 1/4" low.
Since [redacted] was the general contractor, I discussed with him what we needed to do
and what supplies he needed to purchase for the basement wall. [redacted] purchased 2 X 8's
which were 1 1/2" thick when what we needed was only 1 1/4" thick to make the floor
level at this time. He told me that this would be ok and to use the 2 X 8's as he could live
with the floor being a 1/4" off. We agreed that there would be additional cost for
correcting this problem. After we fixed the problem, ALL walls lined up correctly.
Before Perrin Construction had started this job, there had been a lot of rain and then got
very cold and the ground froze. [redacted] had open footings and there was no way to heat the
footings. The cement contractor could not pour the basement floor until the basement
was heated to unthaw. [redacted] wanted the floor trusses and plywood installed so he could
heat the basement and then get the cement poured.
Perrin Construction's bid was to install SIP Panels, floor trusses and plywood and rafters and
plywood. [redacted]'s responsibility was to install ALL interior walls, but he had NO
blueprints drawn up. Perrin Construction needed walls built for the floor truss system,
however, [redacted] had not built these walls so Perrin Construction had to install these walls so
the floor trusses could be installed. Walls were built per the design of the floor trusses.
[redacted] then came back and said the walls should not be there, if this was the case, we would
not be able to install the floor trusses, according to print. The company that supplied the
SIP Panels and floor joist system supplied prints for the installation. The prints were
exactly followed!
Floor and crawl space could not be completed as the dirt from the crawl space had not
been removed. All wall panels, crawl space panels and garage panels were installed
according to the plans. The floor joist was also installed per the drawings.
When Perrin Construction took the job, we allotted one month to complete the job,
as it was our understanding that the General Contractor, [redacted], knew what he was
doing. Whenever a problem arose, [redacted]'s favorite quote was "nobody told me". With all
the problems with the footings......no anchor bolts, the block walls being wrong, basement
not being poured, crawl space not being excavated, job could not progress as it should
have. When the basement was finally poured, the heat was shut off after the concrete had
cured. [redacted], the General Contractor, should have known that the heat should not have
been turned off because this could cause problems with the footings and the structure.
[redacted] placed the level on the floor and determined that it was not level. So he hired a
professional to check out the problem. Enclosed is a copy of the readings that were taken
by the professional. NOTE: ALL different readings in ALL areas. After reviewing the
readings, I told [redacted] that I would like to talk with his "professional" to find out more
information from him. [redacted] told me that I could not talk to him as he was not licensed in
Minnesota. In March of 2015, when frost was still in the ground, [redacted] wanted me to come
and fix the problems. With the readings shown on the paper, there is clearly a frost problem
and the issues could not be solved until the frost was out of the ground. [redacted] insisted that
Perrin Construction fix the problem NOW, but since I said it had to wait until the frost was
out of the ground, he "fired" me. I have tried talking to him, but there is no talking sensibly
to [redacted]. All he did was yell and complain about ALL the different contractors on his job.
He does not want to take any responsibility for his not understanding the
role of a general contractor.
I have done construction work for over 15 years and my customers have always been very
pleased with my work. I have never had to advertise for work as I keep very busy just by
"word of mouth". This job turned out to be a very unfortunate happening. I had talked to
a local contractor from the area and he told me that no one in the
area had wanted to do work for [redacted] due to his reputation for complaining.
I will definitely get "references" for all future customers.

In response to Mr. Perrin's comments: He states he lost days work because there wasn't enough anchor bolts.

In the first place the first day he came to the site was only to inspect the situation to see what he needed to do the job. The 1 1/4" discrepancy on the block wall was promptly modified by the concrete contractor after Mr. Perrin notified him. There was NO time loss for Perrin Construction as there was plenty of other work to be performed on the job. At this time Mr. Perrin states the walls were plumb and yet later states they were not?

He says he set up his transit and found the footings in the garage area and crawl space to be correct but that the west wall of the basement was 1 1/4" low. How can this be as he so stated the walls were plumb? Mr. Perrin is correct in stating that at that time we discussed what was needed to be done. At this time he had me convinced the concrete was off, not showing me, and later proven he was wrong. He states I purchased 2x8's that were 1 1/2" thick instead of the 1 1/4" that he needed. Mr. Perrin knows only to well, at least I hope he does, that there is NO construction lumber available in 1 1/4" thickness unless you buy decking materials or something of that nature. All 2x materials are 1 1/2" thick. After installing the 2x8's Mr. Perrin states the walls were correct which is incorrect because I showed him with a 4' level that they were off. His comment was that you cannot use a 4' level because their always wrong. I have to question that remark because if it were true why are they manufactured? After having other people come in and survey the situation, this including the concrete contractor, another licensed and registered surveyor, and myself, we came to the conclusion that it was quite possible Mr. Perrin's equipment was off and that he should have it re-calibrated. Mr. Perrin of course denied that possibility and refused to do so. Mr. Perrin's comments on the weather being a factor in getting the concrete floor poured has no bearing on him getting the house erected. He had me purchase more materials, to the cost of $600, so he could put up a load bearing wall down the basement. Well, Mr. Perrin did just that but only to the fact that he installed them 7' off from where they were suppose to be. Mr. Perrin states I had no blueprints drawn up for the interior walls of the house. To what concern of this is his? I can put them up later at any place I so desire to, which I did. This again has NO bearing on what he was suppose to do. He states very clearly that he was hired to put up sip walls, rafters, floor system and plywood according to plans supplied to him. So, why didn't he do just that? Mr. Perrin states that he put up the sip panels exactly to the prints supplied. This is a false statement. I personally showed him where some of the panels were to be installed in the garage section, according to plans, but he chose to put them in different location. This was wrong as it was against my wishes as well as against the plans. He said they wouldn't fit any other way. This is another false statement of his. Mr. Perrin states the crawl space flooring could not be completed because the underneath dirt had not been removed. This is also another false statement. We decided to hold up the job so the excavating contractor could level the dirt in this area and not remove it. It was done merely as a convenience to the excavating contractor. As the excavating contractor was lax in showing up, Mr. Perrin could have completed the floor and it would have eliminated the convenience factor for the excavating contractor. Mr. Perrin said it was O.K. to wait and have a laps in time because he had another job in West Fargo, ND to do. Mr. Perrin comments in my saying "no one told me". This again has no bearing on his job completion. If he was a reputable contractor he should have known to contact the people directly involved in the work performed and not me. He knows very well that I placed myself in the general contractors position solely for cost purposes and not to be a guide for someone who should know what he is doing. Mr. Perrin states that I placed a level on the floor and found it not to be level. This is true but he does not say this was done after he installed 2x8's to the plate and had his help cut the tops off the walls free handed and not the way it should have been done. None of this would have had to be done if he had only admitted his mistakes and had his equipment checked for miscalculations. Mr. Perrin states he enclosed a copy of the readings of numerous spots that were not level. The fact remains those readings were there, incurred by him and had nothing to do with my refusal to give him the name of the surveyor. The contractor I hired to finish the project also proved Mr. Perrin's work to be un-level. Mr. Perrin states I wanted him to come back in March of 2015 to correct things. He doesn't even have dates straight. The outside structure of the house was already completed in March by the other contractor I hired. Mr. Perrin, according to the letter I received from his insurance company, told them he started the project in October of 2014. Not true again. He started in Nov. of 2014. There never was a frost problem as he states, because the backfilling was done prior to any serious frost. The concrete pouring had nothing to do with Mr. Perrin. This was strictly between the concrete contractor and myself. It is quite clear that Mr. Perrin will not admit his mistakes, swallow his pride and come to settlement on this. He states no one in the area wanted to do work for me because of my complaining. I find this to be nothing more than another of his false statements as my wife and I just moved to this area and hardly had enough time to build a reputation of complaining. Mr. Perrin appears to be of nature to never admit his mistakes and note; makes no statements of intent to return the money he holds from me along with the extra costs he incurred to me. Just so he knows he was only hired because he was the only contractor in the area that had an opening in his schedule at that time. I had another contractor hired at the time but he unfortunately fell off the roof and broke his back. Mr. Perrin was referred to me by the sip panel company and who by the way has made comment that they will no longer refer anybody to him for anything. The contractor I hired to complete the main house erection had the job done 9 days. This includes correcting Mr. Perrin's mistakes. This contractor feels free to make statement that extra costs to the project was incurred by Mr. Perrin. The whole thing boils down to this. Mr. Perrin took a check from me in the amount of $8,750 , upon leaving the job site, for future work to be done which he never done, incurred at least a minimum of $1800 for corrective measures and refuses to return it. When you take money from someone and do nothing for it, it should be considered theft and I wonder if it isn't. If Mr. Perrin does not wish to return my money and extra costs totaling $10,500 he evidently does not care about his reputation or what it may cost him going to court. If he so choses to go to court I will oblige him because I have a number of witnesses who are willing to testify of his mistakes and inability to do the job right. However, he should be prepared to pay more as I stated to him before as there will be extra costs involved. [redacted]
Final Consumer Response /* (3000, 11, 2015/09/21) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I do not accept his offer for several reasons. First of all there never was a contract stating his demands for the amount of money he states. All there ever was is a mechanics waiver of lien that he signed stating $6,000 to start and a total for the job of &20,500. Mr. Perrin made many, many mistakes on the job that he just plain will not own up to. He never offered me $3,000 back but made statement that he would not give me back the $8,750. He makes statement that he completed 45% of the project which is another false statement because he didn't even complete 1/3 of the project which was stated and would be stated again by the contractor who did finish the project. Perrin states that $1,750 was for change orders. The only change orders in the whole thing are the ones to correct his mistakes. In regards to the sizes of lumber I picked for him, I merely bought and delivered what he requested. He states he showed me the results of everything with his transit. NOT TRUE. As a matter of fact I have to question his transit situation as I do not ever recall seeing it set up on the project when I was there. I surely would like to know his "various sources" he says he's been hearing from as I stated previously that the wife and I have only been in the territory for a little over a year now. At the time of Perrin and [redacted] transactions we were only here for 6 months. Over all I am sick and tired of bickering with him. He changes his story to another approach every time there is discussion in the matter. As I stated before, I have witnesses to testify to the facts that I stated and so therefor I am allowing Perrin to return the $10,500 he owes me within 2 weeks from this date,9/21/15, or we go to court if necessary in which it will cost him more for court costs,attorney fees etc.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 13, 2015/10/04) */
[redacted] knows as well as I do, that all his problems started before I even arrived at the job. [redacted] stated he was the general contractor for the job and the general contractor is responsible to oversee the entire project and when problems arise it is his decision on how to move forward. As I stated before, I let [redacted] know what problems I had found and he bought the material to fix the problem and I did fix the problem exactly as how we had discussed...and yes, he agreed and knew and said he could "live" with the floor being a quarter of an inch off. Also, any general contractor knows that the footings should be either covered or heated during winter months to ensure that frost will not get under and move the footings. The footings were NOT covered until after the ground thawed out in the spring. Why did [redacted] ever pay me the 2nd check for $8,750 in the first place, if he was not satisfied with the work?? $1,750 of this $8,750 was for correcting basement walls that were 1 1/4" off and for labor to cut down panels because floor trusses were 20" and not 24". This was approved by the panel supplier!! I feel [redacted] is just trying to weasel money out of me as he found someone cheaper to finish the job. I apologize if my prior statement in regards to discussing the $3,000 refund was misunderstood. We never discussed an exact amount. In our discussions, all [redacted] wanted was the entire $8,750 back and would not listen to any reasoning. I did state that I was willing to negotiate but I would not give him the entire $8,750 back as that is what he insisted on. This entire amount was ridiculous! After figuring all the numbers I would have agreed to a refund of $3,000 at the most! I don't really feel I owe him anything after all the trouble he has caused, but because I am a very fair person, I would have considered returning $3,000 to him.

Review: Hired Perrin to do a complete home remodel. Six months later after paying him $40k he has completely abandoned the job. He is operating in VA with a revoked licence and is under investigation by the DPOR.

Review: Perrin Construction was hired to complete an office renovation project. The contractors did complete the job however they did a sloppy job with fixing the base boards. The contractor stapled the edging to the wall.
