Mike Sumerel Builder's Response to Complaint TD [redacted]The job began in May 2016 as a time and material job to fix termite damage in the house. The complete flooring was taken out down to the ground in all but one room of the house and then using new materials the floors, floor joist and seals were replaced. When job was almost completed, it turned into a complete remodeling of the entire house. The homeowner decided that it was costing too much even though the job had not exceeded the estimated cost, so at the owners' request, we did a contract for the remainder of the job with allowances for various materials to keep the cost within the original estimate. Any cost over the allowances had to be paid for by the homeowner. There was no allowance for outside doors, other than the front door only which had a $500 allowance. The cost of the new doors the owner chose and that I paid for were almost $5000.00 with the homeowner agreeing to reimburse me by the end of the month. The floor covering allowance was also exceeded and never reimbursed. This money that was spent for these materials that were over the allowances was money that was needed to pay for previous month bills and labor cost. On December the 9, I still had not received any payment for these charges. The homeowner told me explicitly that he was not going to pay me until it finished the job. When arriving to work on December the 12, found the doors locked and homeowner refusing to let me in to get my tools. The sheriff's department was called and had to force the homeowner to unlock the door so I could get my tools. I returned the doors that had not been delivered and retrieved that money to pay some of the previous month bills. The remaining bills that were over the allowances and labor charges have been paid for out of my pocket. I have invoices and time sheets for all money paid for this job.
