Think Before You Sue

For those who are wondering why I am posting so much this week, it is because I am away on vacation. I would like to take this opportunity to ask those of you who read my blog to ask questions and suggest future blog posts.

This post is not directly about contractor or homeowner issues, but I have been thinking lately about the stress of dealing with a lawsuit. Parties vary regarding their involvement in their own disputes. Some are happy to hand their claims over to an attorney and check in now and then, and others want to be directly involved and strategize about their claims. However, no matter how much or little involvement you choose, you should realize that lawsuits are extremely emotionally taxing.

First of all, the financial burden cannot be underestimated. Lawsuits are unpredictable. Even if your own attorney is prudent about expenses, he or she has no control about how the other side conducts themselves. Opposing counsel and/or parties can make life miserable and drive up costs. That's just the way it is. Even if you prevail in a lawsuit, there is frequently no guarantee that a judgment will be paid. Different states have different measures available for collection, but it is not usually easy.

Emotionally, lawsuits are difficult. You will be living with your dispute for a long time, and re-living unpleasant experiences every time there is discovery (written questions, document requests and depositions). Your suit will become a part of your life that feels like it never goes away. It is unlikely that a win will be a slam dunk. Ultimately you will probably settle for less than you had hoped for at the beginning.

Why would a lawyer say all of this? The truth is, I am like a surgeon who does not want to do surgery unless it is medically necessary. Most cases settle. Clients have to understand that resolving disputes short of filing suit is usually a better option. Legal expenses have not accumulated extensively, and statistically, parties are much more likely to comply with negotiated settlements. Resolution is not left up to chance where twelve arbitrary jurors are deciding your fate, or a judge is making the decision for you. It is much better to maintain control over your own outcome.

I do not hesitate to advise my clients to file suit when it is necessary and recovering a judgment is feasible. Litigation is my forte along with arbitration and mediation. However, I do not recommend filing suit unless it is worth it, because the emotional and financial consequences are too high.

Where is the justice? I appreciate the dose the reality. It seems the only reason this is allowed to continue is there is no money in going after these guys.

Unlike doctors, big corporations etc, these guys can hide in the cracks because they are small and it is only one home owner.

It is the feeling of having no power to change the situation that has affected me the most.

I, too, am caught. The builder has financial problems. He got all my money, and I got part of a house. He won't return my calls; I have a roof that leaks and unfinished rooms. If I sue, everything is guaranteed to stop - there will be no hope of him ever doing even a small bit of work on the place. I am forced to try to wait it out and hope, while my family sleeps in sleeping bags on the floor of a half remodelled/half added on to home. I will pay for 30 years for my bad choice of contractor. I can't afford to sue the guy. He vacations in Cancun while I worry about what the leaking roof is doing to the home I worked so hard to take care of for 20 years. I have no control and no power in this situation. Even the legal system can't help me because I can't afford it. It just doesn't seem like the law protects the victim at all.

I'm a contractor, I only here of the cases that the home owner was pulled over the coals. On my last project I did a large renovation in Southampton NY. The contract stated six payments from start to completion. The first payment the deposit was short and the check was returned. The second payment was $42,000. dollars short. Breach of contract right from the start. Yet I continued 21 payments later and near the completion of contract
I asked the home owner to get the balance down to the contract final payment. He said just finish every thing and I'll pay you in full. I finished the contract and received the C/O. Last week I had to put a lien on his house after months of giving the home owner time to pay. there are also many unetical home owners.

I purchased a condo and within 1 week my basement and garage flooded 6-8 inches in a rainstorm. After 3 more similar events over 3 years and extensive investigation (and an engineering report)it was determined that my unit was built 2 feet lower than the approved plans (through incompetence or on purpose I do not know). In addition the street alongside our complex had chronic drainage problems dating way back and frequently flooded. Because the units were built too low this was causing water to back up into my property. However, the builder never acknowledged any of this to me when he was supposedly trying to "fix" it and even tried to blame me for the flooding!

After certain unsuccessful attempts to resolve I am now suing the builder under 93A. I have been told that it will cost me 75k - 90k to actually litigate which is daunting. It makes me wonder what the point of some of these consumer protections laws are. Most people don't have that kind of money.

WE HAD AN ARROGRANT CONTRACTOR WHO CUT OFF ENGINEERED FLOOR TRUSES AND MADE MANY OTHER CRITICAL MISTAKES. WE WENT INTO A SETTLEMENT AGGREEMENT TO TRY AND GET ALONG TO GET THE DARN THING DONE, BUT IN THE PROCESS PUT UP WITH BULLING BY THE CONTRACTORS SON. I GUESS THAT AS THE MANAGER OF THE COMPANY THE CONTRACTOR CAN CALL UPON ANYONE TO BECOME A MANAGER AND AS A HOME OWNER WE HAVE TO DO WHAT HE SAYS AND NOT THE COMPANY OR CONTRACTOR WITH WHOM WE SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH. WHEN I REFUSSED TO LET HIM DO WHATEVER TO THE GARAGE DOOR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY KIDS. ALL COMMUNICATION STOPPED. HE IS IN CHARGED AND THEY TELL YOU WHAT AND HOW YOUR MONEY WILL BE SPENT. WE WENT TO COURT AFTER THE MARYLAND HOME IMPROVEMENT COMMISION SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE LEGAL MEANS OVER A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. BIG MISTAKE .. DO NOT SIGN ANY KIND OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH YOU CONTRACTOR. THEY WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE,BUT THEY ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE. YOU HAVE TO GO TO COURT WITH LAWYERS ETC. FILE AGAINST THEIR LINCENSE AND HOLD TOUGH. LET THE STATE TAKE CARE OF THEM. THERI WILL BE A JUDGEMENT BUT THE STATE WILL BRING THEM IN AND THE WILL PROSOCUTE. LITTLE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR YOU. WE HAD TO GO TO COURT AND PAY AND EXPENSIVE LAWYER AND DIDN'T GET TO SAY ONE THING. IT BECOME BETWEEN THE LAWYERS. MY ADVICE DO NOT EVER SIGN A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. WHEN WE WENT TO COURT THEY WANTED TO SETTLE AND GO THROUGH A FULL TRIAL. IN A WAY GOOD, BUT WE GOT HALF OF WHAT THE ADDITION WILL TAKE TO FIX. DO NOT EVER EVER EVER MAKE A FINAL PAYMENT WITH OUT HIRING A HOME IMPROVEMENT INSPECTOR. IT MAY COST AROUNG 500.00 BUT WILL SAVE YOU ALOT OF HEAD AND HEART ACHE. WHEN AND IF YOU GO TO COURT WITH THE STATE YOU HAVE AND EXPERT WITNESS. WE WERE IN COURT TODAY IN MARYLAND. NOW WE NEED TO TRY AND GET THE MONEY OUT OF THEM. WHEN AND IF YOU HIRE A CONTRACTOR KEEP A GOOD LOG OF COMMUNICATION DATES, AND EVENTS THAT OCCURED. BASICALLY A TIME LINE OF WHEN AND WHERE THINGS HAPPEDED. OURS WAS NINE PAGES LONG. THEY WILL USE IT IN COURT. EVERYTHING WILL BE USED IN COURT. IT'S A PAPER TRAIL, BUT THAT WHAT THEY WANT AND NEED. THE PROOF OF BURDEN IS ON YOU THE HOMEOWNER. YES THEY DO SEEM TO HAVE MORE RIGHTS ,BUT DO NOT GIVE UP. THE MORE YOU PUSH THE MORE EXPOSED THEY WILL BECOME. THE WIFE OF OUR CONTRACTOR MADE UP PAPER FAKE PAPER WORK AND SENT IT TO THE MHIC IN MARYLAND A EVIDENCE. WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF GOING AFTER THEM THROUGH THE STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE FOR FAKE DOCUMENTS. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL AND TRY TO FIND SOME PEACE WITH IN YOUR SELVES. OURS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THREE YEARS . THE TWINS WILL BE IN COLLEGE WHEN THIS IS OVER, BUT SO BE IT. THEY ARE NOW FOUR.

We are a small Home Remodeling Contractor as well and have been doing this business for 20 years. It always amazes me that Homeowners are always complaining victimization, but the fact is the homeowner hired the contractor and the homeowner has a responsibility too.

You never hear how homeowners will hold back payments, or will short a payment all because the homeowner wants extra work they have no intention on paying for.

Homeowners also need to take responsibility for who they hire, if you are only looking at the bottom number and you want the guy who is going to do all your home repairs or remodeling for a fraction of what a good contractor would do it for -- I suggest you look at your self when a job goes bad. You pay for what you get!

You never hear about the Homeowners from hell either -- now the majority of our clients have been absolutely great, but there are a hand full that are horrid.

We recently did a kitchen remodel and the homeowners decided to add, add, add and add, when they were presented with a cost to their changes we were told they could not afford it. So we didn't do the work, but proceeded to finish the contract, then the homeowners at the end of the job, with less then a day of labor to finish, fired us off the job by calling us and telling us to not return!

They now wanted to settle their balance for 1/2 what they owe. We have filed a lien and will follow up with a law suit. Unfortunately, when we declined the offer the homeowner got angry and threatened to tell our clients what a bad contractor we are -- We don't do work for free!

That is a homeowner from hell!

First, someone really needs to filter the scam artists pretending to be blogers and posting financial scemes on this website which distracts from its purpose. Please get an editor.

I am cureous how many of the unhappy homeowners used "nontraditional" reference checks on their contractors such as Twitter and Facebook? I think this is a great media to document a grass roots opinion of someone's work and integrity. I have been told "they don't care about this" but I think if United Airlines cares about one piece of lost luggage then a copy of the contract or our polite correstpondece of a request for redo of bad work next to the contractor's decline or no response will one day soon be used by others to make hiriing decisions. We read restaurant reviews. Stay tuned. I perfecting a Facebook page for my contractor with my photographs and copies of emails. I just need to work on the kinks of naming it so that it shows up quickly on a search.

Those who have been done wrong by contractors should report the contractor right away to the license board. Here in Virginia it's called DPOR (I can't remember what it stands for.) Report your situation there and in some states a contractor is required to pay into insurance program before acquiring a license. Theses programs are designed for those who lost money due to hiring bad contractors. Rules and regulation may vary from state to state. Most states require you to win a judgement.

Off topic but just wanted to include:
On another note if a contractor liens your house and you can prove he is not owed, call your local city permit office. If you hired a license contractor they should have acquired a permit through the city. Make sure contractor followed all required inspections. If not, report contractor to inspector. File a petition with the court to take the lien off. Here in virginia it is not a form you fill out. You must draft the petition. Everyone will teelll yoou to get a lawyer..... You Dont need to!!! Go to your local circuit court and use their library!!! Study similar cases and use an outline from previous case. If you can find one GREAT. (basically do the lawyers' work). Go to court and be prepared. Take receipts pictures contracts email text messages letters from sub contractors be able to show dollar amount spent.

If a contractor is purposely trying to prolong his lien on your house research on how to get an emergency hearing

If you live in North Carolina especially Emerald Isle area watch out for a man named Jim Register- Swimming Pool Installer for San Juan Pools. He has nothing in his name so he can't be sued and works out of a pick-up truck and storage shed. Numerous unpaid judgements against him, have your lawyer check local court house. Smooth talker took our family for $90k yes $90,000.00 and no recourse,none! Please check with a trusted lawyer first, a signed contract means absolutely nothing with this man! Ask for his NC license # and you will find he has none ! Save yourself much,much,grief !

We too have a suit against us. The contractor lied, time and time again. Lied at the lean hearing then even in deposition. Every time he opens his mouth, yet another lie jumps out. As homeowners we are are being punished and theirs no help, unless you have millions to fight in court. All the contractor does is stall and drag the process out in the hope that any little money we have will dry up. Leaving us with nothing and him with financial gain from a bogus claim based up lies and deception.Scrum!!

DO NOT hire Nathan Fullers Northeast Remodeling. He is a crook, thief and he cannot be trusted. He says that he goes, "above and beyond", what a joke. The only thing that you will end up with is a mess and poor finish work to have to pay someone else to fix.
Nathan Fuller's Northeast Remodeling is falsely accused of bad business. This was listed by the cowardly Julie and Niel Mortlock. We know this because we have a full list of every customer we have done business for over the last 8 yrs and have never had a complaint. The truth is the Mortlocks jipped our company and family out of $50k. For the truth on this job please contact the Exeter building inspector for full details of the project. Also please contact a legitimate service such as the BBB. We are a fully accredited company withan A+ rating. Unfortunetly over an eight year period your bound to run into a crazy customer. Our company is an open book with nothing to hide. We are always happy to provide potential customers with references from both customers an building inspectors throughout NH. Even in a down economy our business continues to grow with leaps and bounds thanks to our incredible repeat customer base and word of mouth refferals. Visit our showroom in Epping or visit our website at www.neremodeling.com . Unfortunetly these sites do not varify anything written here. Again, please contact a ligitimate reporting agency for truthful reporting. Anyone can make up anything about a company on sites like these. Please note that any negative reporting on this blog has no name or valid job address.

Beware! BNC roofing, Oklahoma City. Worst roofing job ever! I spent $17,000 for lawyers on a "slam dunk" case. $15,800 for the roof. $5,000 on a drainage system with pump ( to keep my house from flooding) and I'm left holding my nuts with nothing to show. My lawyer screwed up on top of the stupid way the courts work. This may I add was a complete and disgustingly blatant breach of contract. BNC Roofing was contracted to do a full tear off. They did not. Our roof was cored and inspected by 3 different contractors. We even had core samples. But all BNC Roofing had to do is simply tell the court that " oh we agreed on that". Really? How disappointing.. If you live in Oklahoma City, stay away from BNC Roofing!

I agree, there is no protection for the homeowner. The same actions performed by contractors in other situations are considered theft and fraud. Somehow the lack of real law and methods to collect on damages facilitate this behavior. In North Carolina do not hire Cole Restoration Services. Mike Cole is dishonest, will take your money, will not answer calls, and will not deliver.

I'm tired of hearing contractors blaming homeowners for hiring a bad contractor. No one really knows who they are hiring. Not many people can hire the best in the industry to do work on their home. Those people are also not likely to expect the best to show up. Expecting a good job be done for good money is not unreasonable.

I think these contractors are just angry that they have to competitively price themselves to even be considered when they think they should be making a lot more money. Most people I know are astounded at the cost and hourly rates charged. I don't see where this working group thinks they should be getting paid so much more than the rest of us. A lot of us have skills and don't get paid near as much.

They are also making an assumption that the lowest bidder was even hired. Where do they get that information? Just because you lost a job doesn't mean it was to a lower bidder. People do not always hire the cheapest guy.

Spending more does not always guarantee a better product either. There are plenty of contractors who price jobs above their competencies simply because it's the going rate. Last I was hiring, the line seemed to be "I'm not the lowest ... I'm somewhere in the middle." How the job is priced has nothing to do with the skill level that shows up.

If I were to hire the cheapest guy, I would not expect the best job. A lot of people are probably like that. If I have to pay well, I do expect the job to be done very well in return. There is nothing wrong with that!

If your workmanship is tops, you can sell to the high end market word of mouth and will have no problems. Otherwise, you're not there yet so keep working at it.
Anonymous said…
Also. My point about contractors getting ticked and blaming the homeowners for hiring the wrong guy, is that I think they're trying to get us all to spend more by hiring them instead. A marketing ploy to eliminate the competition.

I have been on the worst end of the stick also with a so called contractor who have done me so wrong. I have started a petition to get our law makers to make it difficult for these worms to do the things they do,please go to change.org and sign this petiton. Type in shoddy contractors in the seach box. Together we can change that and hold people accountable for thier actions.I think they know that there is a whole lot of red tape and that home owners will get frustrated before they get a reasonable solution.

This is ridiculousness. I am a general contractor reading this blog and find that most homeowners issues are due to their misunderstanding of what good quality is and what their expectations are. Most homeowners want the mansion finish at the IKEA rate. Then when they don't get it they complain like somebody just took money out of their wallet and went on vacation. It's real easy to deal with most issues but most homeowners will look at a sheetrock repair as if their wall has fallen down and then get all emotional and accusatory that the contractor doesn't know what they are doing. I have been doing this for over 30 years and have been on a handfull of jobs that went perfect. Most jobs have unforseen issues that delay the project or require certain things to be done out of order. I have seen customers lie like they are trying to save their lives in order to get something free. I have had customers try to talk my guys into doing work that was not in the original contract for free. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean its not right.

DO NOT HIRE VJG CONTRACTING. INC., led by Victor Giordani and his band of thieves. He operates primarily in the Towson,Baltimore area. The quality of his work is horrible. He is unreliable, unresponsive, unethical and unprofessional. He promises he will be on site managing every step of your home project, only to leave his workers alone and unsupervised in your house to rip you off blind while he is off on another "project" in someone else's home. He will not return your calls or make any attempt to fix his terribly defective, sub-par work. I since have learned that he uses alot of "temp" workers so he can pay them minimum wage while he charges top dollar for novice work. These "temp" workers are not licensed and not even close to being proficient in the work that they are doing in your house. Just about all the work he did on my house had to re-done and paid for again by another contractor. If you hear about this guy, save yourself a heartache and a headache and run the other way-fast!

many valid complaints here from both sides,, yes homeowners do research about your potential contractor," past projects,criminal backround recards etc.. as the same goes for contractors screening their potential clients its a two way street..contractors need to be very clear in detail about work to be performed and very clear on payment terms etc..i myself am a specialized contractor " owner operator" i do all my own work, i dont subcontract out nor do i sub for others, i work directly with property owners im in business for the love of the trade and i must say 99.9 % of all my clients are great wonderful people that i develop lifelong relationships with.. " repeat customers ".. yet every once in a great while i come across someone who doesnt " pay up "..honestly not good on their part.. i usually try to work with them on payment, if they do choose to ignore than they face serious legal problems not to mention being charged with " theft of services " which in some cases is a felony crime of the third degree etc.. " not worth it ".. so its very important to communicate back and forth and stay on the same page both contractor and client have to do their part..i agree there are many shoddy contractors who rip people off and its wrong , i see it alot in my business and thats why i do my own work then i know its done right.. ive been in business for 30 years and have seen all angles of this topic... i also dont advertise my business its all word of mouth..in general choose a small local reputable contractor, see their work in person" talk is cheap" if your not going to be around during the process of project hire a professional consultant etc. and if things arent going the way you want.. stop the project asap..also make them take pics of everything they do, thats what i do... every phase from start, during,to completion..many pics which also ensures the client it was done right..most important red flag alert " be careful of those who use subcontractors " !!best of luck to everyone and i hope this info gives good insight to the homeowners and contractors out there.... cheers !!

We hired a contractor, Brent Zumwalt of Envision Homes and Remodeling LLC. He was supposed to restore our home back to the original state after an explosion. He asked the insurance company to make a detailed list of jobs and a structural engineer did an inspection to verify how the job should be done correctly. After we had paid him all except the final payment, we confronted him about some jobs he skipped on our jobs list given by the insurance company. He claims now that our contract is not a line by line detailed contract but an overall contract. He also claims that the extra jobs that he decided not to do were included by our adjuster to make his overall bid match how much he needed to make. He ended up picking up his tools and leaving the job undone, without giving us a date he would be back to complete it. Now he wants more money and refuses us to give us a mechanics lien release, freezing our funds for the job in escrow. We have been in mediation for 3 months trying to get a detailed bill, that clearly explains what monies he claims we owe him. Still nothing. Do not hire Brent Zumwalt of Envision Homes and Construction. Do not trust him to work on hour home. He will give you a headache and leave you with an unfinished mess.

DO NOT HIRE KEVIN ALTAMURA of ALTAMURA & ASSOCIATES from Mechanicville, NY. He doesn't finish any project and he doesn't pay his sub-contractors. He'll take your money and use it to pay his insurance and taxes. He's so stupid he even put that in writing. He'll promise you everything and deliver nothing. We found out the hard way he's nothing but a big bullshitter.

Do not hire do it right contracting. Pennsylvania! (Joseph Eible). He does shotty work. Does short cuts, never finished job. Never pulled permits. Said he has been in business for 30 yrs. Come to find out he has only been in business for a little over a yr. We had a flood and he was supoosed to change all the plumbing in our house. Only changed some not all and best part is the pipes that broke he never replaced, just hooked them back up to the faucet. He was supposed to install an underbelly used tarp. Used 3in of insulation under house was supposed to be 9in. Was supposed to put in new floor joist where damaged. He "sistered" them with 2x4s. Spakle job done horribly can see every mark and crater due to not sanding. Had to have bathroom wall replaced it shakes bc he didn't put it up correctly. He was supposed to install a tub and new carpeting and padding in 2 areas never did. I could go on and on about this guy. We took him to court. We won a judgment. 2wks into the 30 day appeal process he files for bankruptcy. Never appealed our case. I did some research and this guy has been sued numerous times and this time is his 3rd time he has filed for bankruptcy. Wth how is this legal?????

Im a contractor and if you ask most of my clients, im the best craftsman theyve ever seen. I am currently having one client file a claim against my bond and a complaint to cslb everything was great, they loved my work and would tell me every day how happy they were with my work. I knew something was up when i asked for a payment too wich they replied that they had no money in the bank. They had other contractors working for them as well. I showed up for what would have been the final day and the place was locked. I called and got no answer. I waited and no one showed up. I recieved an email from them about a week later stating that they were firing me. I did 85% of a job plus 30 hrs of extras of wich i recieved payment for 50% and nothing for the extras. I asked what was wrong and they refused to say. I told them that if money was an issue that i would help them out. They finally sent me a list another week later of things they were dissatisfied with. I offered to address any grievance right away for free and recieved no reply. They are now in the process of trying to ruin my life and put me on the streets. I will win this but it is not worth it. Im tired of hearing about the contractors from hell while nobody makes mention of homeowners who are abusive and trying to free work done. Theses homeowners told me about how they had sued every contractor who worked for the. I have been a contractor for 6 months and i have already had 3 homeowners not pay me. There is absolutely no protection for contractors in california and because im not made of money, i cant afford to go after these people. I have been left at the mercy of these scam artists time and again.

I had a 0% loan for $46,000 in home improvements from HUD services in 2012. Hud prescreened and approved all contractors before bidding. Hud inspectors determined what work needed to be done on my home and provided a work sheet to 3 contractors. Contract was signed in April 2012, and I never saw the contractor again. There was a clause that the project had to be completed within 90 days or the contractor would be penalized. Repeated voicemails to his home phone, text messages to his cell phone, emails went unanswered. Needless to say, the contract deadline passed and no work was ever started on my home. HUD de-obligated my funding as a direct result of this contractor's failure to complete the project. In November 2012, the contactor suddenly calls me and tells me to go find more funding and he now can start the job. I went with a local contractor, I had personally seen some of his homes and is a member of my church. I filed complaints with the Wisconsin Department of Consumer Protection, the Better Business Bureau, but none of them could provide any help. At this point, I am pursuing with small claims court action.

Iowa does not require any contractor to be licensed by the state, only "registered" through Iowa Workforce Development Center. Do not hire Iowa contractors. Illinois contractors are licensed. Even if you win in Iowa small claims court, you will only get an x-year lien and no actual money. Iowa also allows contractors to pay "employees" by cash, therefore eliminating income tax. All you need to be a "contractor" in Iowa is a pickup truck, a ladder and BS!

You can only check out the contractor you can not check out the sub contractor that he hires. So how is it the homeowners fault when bad work is done. I don't even know the name of the sub contracting company. This is unbelieveable that the government doesnt' stand behind the licenses that they give out. I need help my home caught fire hired a great general contractor checked him out completely. but he went and hire a sub contractor that put on bad roof trusses on my home and the county will not approve the job. so my house sits there job stopped no work being done for 10 weeks i can't live in it and cant find another contractor to do the job. So this general contractor has made me homeless from a home I have lived in for over 19 years. But I must still pay my mortgage on this home.WHO STANDS UP TO THE LAW MAKERS AND MAKES THESE LICENSED CONTRACTORS DO THE JOB THEY WERE HIRED TO DO??????? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR WORK THAT WILL NOT PASS COUNTY CODES???

It is CRAZY how crappy contractors can be. I feel for the "good contractor with a nightmare family" but WE are a god family and our contractor SUCKS. I literally HATE him. 154 days into a project that would, by his own words, take 42 days at the most. Now this far into it we have paid $25,000 of a $30,000 project, the work is shotty and I feel he has no incentive to finish.I HATE HIM. We added on an addition to change our home to meet our needs so we wouldn't have to move. Now all I want is to leave the home that I have loved BEHIND. SHOW me a contractor in the Dallas Metroplex that ISN"T shady!?!?! DO NOT HIRE A CONTRACTOR. BUY A NEW HOUSE.

As a contractor I'm going through some what the same problem. The homeowner payed their deposit but in two parts instead of the whole amount, but i complied in working with them. I got the first schedule of work completed and they refused there second installment. Instead they want to write a new contract that pays me even less throughout the job and final payment after i finish. The problem for me is two part, first I'm a small contractor so draws are important to keeping job on schedule and making sure working capital is available throughout each stage of progress. Thay hired a small contractor because they have an amount they want to spend and bigger contract companies cost more than they want to pay but know that the job is started they want big contractor service and financing while still getting small contractor pricing, add on that are above he room price and not willing to pay for those extras. Secondly if i continue on this course, which is above my financial ability to carry along with other commitments to other jobs, they can carry this on till job is finished and refuse to pay in full and for there extras, making it hard for me as money will be out and owed while they play aound on final pay off. I have went ahead and started second faze of job hoping that my commitment will show hem we are committed to finishing there project quickly and in return they will start paying there part to finish. Knowing what i have seen from them to this point im not sure if i should just put my foot down and stand my ground for them to complete there contracted obligations or lock the job down and hoping that will persuade them to get with me and get this done. Contractors are victims to not just homeowners. Any suggestion.

I have had a experience that I would not wish on my worst enemy. I did not pay the contractors. I have a 203K rehab loan. The 203k consultant, HUD certified, passed the work, put in a request for over 12K. I came to find out no permits were pulled. HVAC unit installed, not of my choice. Low end piece of crap Ducane. I googled it.
Windows installed in top unit, did not need all new windows. UV factor .47. Im in Chicago. No corking. Freezing. No insulation in outside wall of bathroom which had been gutted. How can they put a lien on my property when the work cannot be inspected. No permits pulled? It states in contract the company is reponsible for permits. This is a joke!
Janet said…
Some contractors were referred to me by someone who stated they did a good job. This company installed a Heating unit, gave me no choice in make, model or otherwise. Just came home and hey presto, new Ducane. I googled it and it is a piece of low end garbage. Had it inspected by professional. Ductwork mess,shoddy installation. Then I found out no permit was pulled. Electrical work all code voilations. Ton of unethical bs.
no permits and they put a lien on my property. I refused to sign check. I couldn't have it inspected, the City will not inspect. no permit. Now I'm in litigation. This is the law in USA? Crazy!

Im a contractor in VA and have a home owner contract with me on 10/21/13, give me a credit card for her 1/3 deposit, then hire another contractor to do same work and when I called and left a message with 6 days notice of our start date - I never got word one about not coming out. She let us come out, we started the job and then she went bananas. Long story short, we have a 3 day recision clause in writing in our contract. You have 3 days to back out in writing, otherwise we are holding you to our contract. Either way even if you cancel you have a 15% fee. She went to her credit card company and told them i never delivered service so to refund all of her money. I went through the charge back process and told them she owes me a 15% fee for "cancelling" which she didn't do. I let her out of the contract. NOW I WANT TO KNOW IF I SHOULD SUE HER FOR THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE CONTRACT SINCE SHE IS IN BREACH!

My husband is the best goddamned electrician in the state, at very least. He recently started his own company, it's still in beginning process. He is swamped with so much work he doesn't know what to do. He is not an egomaniac, lacks confidence in himself, and has a big gushing heart. So he lowballs himself on his bids. He does not advertise, it's all word of mouth recomendations. You are absolutely right, the price has nothing to do with quality of work. He makes his prices so "fair" to the customer, he's practically doing work for free! He's got a family to feed. He needs a secretary, but can't afford to pay one. He does all the work himself, as his wife, this is very hard to watch...and feed the kids. He has never had a complaint, or failed an inspection. Now we have some old sue happy biotch threatening to sue him, wich threatens his license, and family. This biotch.... he bid the job, she expected him to start work the next day, first off, ridiculous. He's eager to please, so he agreed. Well, he started the job a day later than he was suppose to. Big woop princess. He was sick with a fever that day, shouldn't have been working, but she's a persistent old bat, so he went. He got there late, 3pm. It's an hour and a half drive with no traffic. When he opened up the wall & panel there was unexpected problems he could not have known, and was unprepared for. He is very engenuitive ( excuse my spelling) he figured it out. But, this was a job he had to cut power on. He worked till 3am, and had no choice but to leave it, he couldn't trust himself in his delirium to temp in power, wich normally he would do. He will not put people's lives at risk. He felt beyond awful about it, but there was nothing more he could do. He got home @ 5am! With a fever mind you. There was no way he could make it back that day. I as his wife, forced a sick day on him to rest and sleep. He was beyond stressed about this. He went back and completed the job, told her he would be more than happy to pay for any food gone bad & what not, apologized profusely. NOT GOOD ENUF FOR THIS BIOTCH! She calls a few days later saying she's suing him, and had the nerve to say some bs about all the lies he told? That comment right there tells me SHE is the pro. He admits fault, and is more than willing to do what he can to make this right, he does not want an unhappy customer, but I think this B was going to be unhappy from the start. Since this will surely fuk my family, I'm prayi g it's as hard to sue him as it has been for the rest of you. Contractors background check your clients for lawsuit trails. CYA.

Tara is right on. There should be an Angie's List for contractors so we can get the low down on some crappy homeowner that has a track record of ripping off people they hire. I routinely research my clients now before engaging in a contract. In fact I charge a PITA surcharge for anyone that raises a flag during my research if I choose to do work for them. PITA= Pain In The Ass. I recently added $800 to a bid for some extensive tile work just for that reason.

Hopefully I have learned my lesson, but when you are a homeowner and don't have much knowledge and both time and money are ticking, you can only pray that it will work out. I hired Trusted Restore in Austin, TX to remodel a home that was flooded and needed all remodelled. They said they would do what the insurance company said for the price the insurance company said. After almost a year, it still isn't done and I have paid him $36000. He is threatening to file a lien and sue for the final payment even though the house is still not liveable. What is a person to do? :(

I signed a contract All Florida Poos and Spa Center June 11, 2014 to do a 'four to five day resurfacing job' which was a wrong move and ti turned into a waiting and lack of communication nightmare.

When the job was finally completed August 26th, after paying $3,750, in the eleventh hour they sent me another bill for $418 for permit fees and processing. I was livid.

The nightmare continues. I have now been in the process of making a complaint to whatever agency I can. This is unfair and deceptive business practices. There is nowhere in the contract that states the homeowner pays these fees and they were never discussed. I only knew they were pulling the permits.

"Everything" has to be in writing because most contractors are 'money-mongers' and greedy for as much money they can squeeze out of you, proper or improper.

We are out because of a General Contractor, Mountain Logworks in Northern Vermont. He built and general contracted our log home, took a lot of money from us, was hardly ever onsite according to the subcontractors and did not follow our orders although they were in writing. We are left with an unfinished house, walls to rip out because the wrong drywall was put into the bathroom, and still the only full working bathroom is in the basement. He said he finished work that we found out was not completed and yet we were charged. It is very depressing. He took our life savings, 401k, you name it. We were building from afar so we really trusted him to do right by us....nope, didn't happen, we got screwed. Get EVERYTHING in writing and research the company. Unfortunately we did not get everything in writing, although we did research him and he still has not a single blemish to his name - which is going to change. He probably deals with folks who are onsite and since we weren't - we were a convenient target of opportunity for him to make extra cash.
Hey Andrea, it is very nice to know about you. Your profession protects the lives of people and so is mine. These poor constructions are the major of workplace accidents. For making few bucks out of the constructions the contractors use poor quality of materials. It should be checked before any accident happens.

I am a contractor in Colorado. Completed a project and homeowner did a walk thru and made the final payment. Two months later I am contacted by them and informed that the deck covering that they chose and I did not endorse was peeling. My contract covers me for product failure but because I live in a small community I decided to fix it for them. I had done several extras not mentioned on the contract and went above and beyond what was expected. Now they are threatening to sue me and pull my name thru the mud because the wife failed to communicate the truth with her husband. I have been in the business 25 yrs and this is a first. Don't understand how they can sleep at night and not sure how to address this tactfully cause I'm really pissed.

What constitutes Finished or complete seems to be at issue in a lot of these. Was it defined in the contract? Mine was supposed to be that everything would be done as the insurance agent notated. The a/c, furnace and garage door were not replaced which is at least $8000 by itself. That is not completed if you ask me!

I think one needs to be extra aware if a business changes their name during the time of your contract. This company in Texas went from Trusted Restore to Trusted Restoration. After my experience at having a lien filed when they didn't complete over $8000 of the 50k job, I will not trust them again!

There are so many dishonest people on both sides. I just hired a company that was honest in reputation. Didn't know a shady scum bought it years ago. The short of the long is I am trying not to lose my home to this scumbag because he is over a hundred grand ritcher thanks to me and I have been duped by two different lawyers who all know him. I've lost 5G and can't afford another lawyer. God help me keep my home. This guy can't get work from people who know him. So this is how he operates. Sends people to your door to see if they know him and they beg and plead for the work and tell you what you want to hear. When you just fought your own fire and barely got out alive you are not in your right state of mind!!! That's what these greedy bastards prey on!!! Indiana needs some new laws for both sides. I know it goes the other way for some good workers!!!

Were you successful with documenting your contractor on Facebook? Do you know if there are any laws restricting you from posting "emails, photos etc"? I'm always researching "avenues to justice" as my family and i have quite the story losing everything meanwhile raising my boys from 5 now graduating college. I want to share my experience in hopes of educating others starting with due diligence and awareness from Realtors to Inspections to Purchasing and Renting to Heath and Safety Code to Indoor Air Quality that cause illness disease Damage from Leaks Moisture Signs to Conditions to Disclosures Contracts Repairs .....Safety just a short list of "things i didnt know" when we just "bought a house" it is crazy literally as I write this year 2014 from a hotel room which is unhealthy, unsafe, with water damage, plumbing leaks (inside wall behind shower head -popular source - the drip drip sound is a Red FLAG) suffering effects from exposure now with auto immune disease and personal injuries which are compromised, Im not able to comprehend how I have stayed sane, able to see past. With no hate but feeling there is a reason and lesson here and justice will prevail. Right? And all of it is SIMPLE, PREVENTABLE. 101 be aware- see water indoors, find source, fix it, remove damage! Easy - ave a problem fix it. No water no damage. mold from leaks, moist conditions, poor maintenance, lack WATER/WEATHER PROOFING the same conditions that destroyed our home the same disregard for the laws, Codes, Standards, Practice, Ethics of each and every Landlord, Property Manager, Homeowner, Remediation BEWARE! Contractor, Repair Service you name the Professional its all the same. I can see, feel, hear, smell damage. I sometimes wish I was just the blonde mom who skipped though life. No cares just fun, raising my boys but The journey, ENLIGHTMENT, THE LESSON, EXPOSURE TO A DIFFERENT SIDE OF REALITY- PEOPLE - Strangers- who lack everything- and just dont care. The real life you can't know- even the trained/licensed Professional whose job is to know, understand, perform and worse who you depend on to get what is your right and compensate for your loss to "represent your case" fyi but that doesn't mean you won't be having to prove your case to them first. I found there to be some code of ignorance people will hide behind "if I don't acknowledge the information it isn't valid.

I was wondering if there is any type of recourse with a construction settlement that was unpaid by our builder? We hired a builder for a major addition to a 2 year old house adding approx. 3000 square feet. all windows installed incorrectly and roof was done poorly after 2 yrs of major leaks and damage we won arbitration to repair damage and re-install windows and roof. Our born and raised American builder moved his entire family to Brazil to be a minister. Anyway we never saw a dime and had to pay and additional 38K for repairs for windows and roof. our Arbitration was for 18K. Found out he is back in the country and wondered if we have any recourse. I have the arbitration papers and settlement he was supposed to pay. its was in 2007. I'm thinking he waited 7 years before returning to the states. Thanks for any advice you can provide. Man it really does hurt to be stung like this from a builder for sure and I feel for anyone out there like us. Not knocking builders but this one was bonded certified and all the references and turned out to be a real thief. The personal and financial pain is the worst when you trust a contractor like this.

STAFF REPORTS | Posted 3 weeks ago

Lockport contractor Vincent Brege pleaded guilty Thursday to four charges stemming from work he completed on a North Transit Street home last winter.


Appearing city housing court, Brege was fined $1,700, and sentenced to serve 30 Saturdays in the Niagara County Work Program, said Chief Building Inspector Jason Dool. Brege's license to work in the City of Lockport was permanently revoked in May.

Brege pleaded guilty to working without a plumbing license, covering work that should have remained accessible to inspection, having unsafe equipment and fixture closures around a hot water tank, Dool said.

Brege was charged by the city and under the state property maintenance code, Dool said.

Back in February, Brege and his company, Affordable Contractors, were hired to complete work on the bathroom at Gary and Sandy Schuman's North Transit Street home while the couple was in Florida. Brege was initially fined for not having a building permit and working without a license in the City of Lockport. At the time, Brege pleaded guilty and paid the fines.

While Affordable Contractors were hired to completely remodel the Schuman's bathroom, Brege told Dool that they were only replacing a vanity and a glass block window. After the Schuman's received a violation letter for not getting a building permit, they told Dool how much work was really done in the home, leading to further charges against Brege and Affordable Contractors.

According to city records obtained through a Freedom of Information Law request filed in the spring, Brege completed plumbing work in the home without a required master plumber’s license; the plumbing, insulation, framing and electrical work that was done in the bathroom was covered with drywall and was unable to be inspected; the work that was done did not meet the minimum requirements in the Residential Code of New York State pertaining to framing, electrical, plumbing and insulation and the hot water tank was fully enclosed with drywall with no clearance around the tank.

While there are no pending cases against Brege in city housing court, there are pending civil cases, Dool said.

I too was harmed by a contractor. In fact, it was my bosses boyfriend. I worked for a window and door company and she used her boyfriend for many constructions jobs. My boss made some mistakes when she did the design and window. Her boyfriend just destroyed my home leaving it uninhabitable. I have been in litigation with these since December 2012. I had to stop paying the mortgage on the home because my husband's work contract ended and I could not afford to pay legal fees and the mortgage. I am trying to modify the home mortgage now but even if I do I will be paying a mortgage on a home that cannot be lived it. I am so embarrassed and upset by the dishonest acts of my boss and his boyfriend. We have gone to trial and the jury did conclude that there was a contract but said they did not have time to deliberate damages. Apparently, the jury agreed before deliberation, not to take more than a day to decide the matter. At trial both parties argued damages, the difference was the amount, yet the jury came back and said there were no damages. So, now I have to pay them attorneys fees while we go to appeal. The process has been awful and unjust. I am hoping someone will hear my story and help me save my home. I tried to redress the problem through the legal system but there seems to be no such thing as justice. In my case, the system just didn't work.

You thoughts or comments or guidance would be appreciated.

I was hired by a homeowner that filed chapter 13 bank. in Pa 5 months earlier. Of course, my company had no knowledge of him filing bankrupcy. So he hired us at 52 thousand dollars, the work is completed, and the Invoice goes unpaid, we sent him a notice of mechanics lien, and that is when his bankrupcy attorney contacted the lawyer that represents my contracting company,,,,We have not received a dime, and not sure that our company lawyer is very familiar with this sort of case. I believe that since he filed bankrupcy, then hired us, with the INTENT to not pay, is criminal, and still cannot get a clear answer on whether or not I can file a lien and a suit in the courts.

The contractor I hired did major damage to my house when replacing the existing attached garage and new front porch. The garage is off the kitchen and l now have several extra freezers in my kitchen because he took a huge hunk of my foundation out when removing the old garage and never properly insulated the damage he half-assed repaired. As a resultmany cabinets are ice cold. My upstairs bathroom pipes now freeze up as a result too. If those pipes break I'll have massive damage on top of the damage he already did. In addition, while replacing the front porch he did major damage to the foundation on the front of the house where I now have lateral cracks that is putting my house in danger of collapsing. There is no recourse for me. Al I can do is contact the building inspector and see if there's anything he can do. At this point I'm afraid to do that because I fear he may condemn my house.

We are in the same situation. Homeowner was great, said great things. Was paying on time. The stress of a renovation after a flood, and she having to be out of her house, she makes comment that she should just claim bankruptcy. When my husband told me this, I said run. She was a sweet lady and we started the next phase of the project without getting the funds. I finished that stage and then the issues began. She went from going to pay the following week, to she needs to talk to her financial advisor, to demanding we show everything we've done and cost associated , to us finally saying we aren't coming back until paid and you received everything in our contract. We filed a lein on her home, went to arbitration, won, filed foe the judgement and was served with bankruptcy papers. Disputed at the creditors meeting we should have been listed as a secured creditor and she said she was never aware of our lein. All I could do was say WOW. We have the certified mail signature card, we have a letter from her attorney acknowledging the lein. Now we wait. But have been told the lein will stay but we can't file on it for like two years. There is no support for the contractor in these situations. We did everything we were supposed to do and got screwed. Now I will wait and start saving so I can foreclose on her home and buy it.

Homeowners or contractors do have a better alternative. Like the author mentioned,
try to settle your case prior to filing litigation. Having owned a construction collection agency for more than 37 years-I can tell you litigation rarely gets you anything-except additional bills. Use a collection agency. They charge nothing to collect your debt and only a % if they collect your money for you. Contractors and homeowners alike have this option. If the homeowner won't return your calls or kept the insurance money, or if the contractor did a lousy job and now won't get back with you-then is the time to contact a collection agency. Oftentimes agencies have lawyers who work on their staff -so you are getting their services for free (albeit on a contingency arrangement). Getting 80% of your money back on a no risk venture is the best option for all folks on this site. If you need a collection agency referral Email me at: bestcollectionservicesllc@gmail.com or call me toll free at (844) 680-0070.

TWO OF THE WORST CONTRACTORS ON LONG ISLAND

We had to rebuild after a fire the first contractor Great American Restoration did less than 10% of the work according to bank and then took off with the 1/3 of the insurance funds. They even moved out of the county to next county over because they were being investigated by Consumer Affairs. Beware

Second Contracotor even worst. Homes and Beyond caused delays, made serious mistakes in constructng home by not following the plans and abandoned the job after failing several inspections and not paying his subcontractors. Contractor was misappropriating the funds. Homes and Beyond worst contracotor on Long Island beware.

We are still left wihout a finished home.

These types of contractors even though licensed are nothing but piranhas on unsuspecting homeowners.

All of these comments talk about how horrible the companies are! What about the clients?? We are a small electrical contracting company and right now have a big chain restaurant who owes us over $7000 for work already completed and a homeowner who owes us almost $8000. (not because of crappy work, but because the client hasn't received money from somewhere else. How is that our fault?) At this point this is food out of my kids mouths. We have paid our employee's to work and paid for all the material on these projects. These clients are going about business as usual: the restaurant is open for business, making money and the homeowner is living in their house. What about us? We are stuck either taking money we don't have and time we don't have to file a lawsuit or pray that these two bottom suckers will finally pay!

Don't place all the blame on the contractors!

I'm a contractor who was hired as a sub contractor and is being sued for work done at a property where I hired another contractor to do the work (confusing I know). Unfortunately, the guy who I thought was a license contractor, operated as a contractor and ran his business like a contractor license had expired. Honestly, he messed up on a few things. So, long story short I am being sued. The owner of the property however never gave us a chance to correct any of the repairs after sending us a report of things wrong. The guy is suing and I was never fully paid from the primary contractor. Which, everything goes through the primary. Any advice on what to expect? This is the first time ever dealing with something like this. I pride myself on good work and all it took was one guy to bring it down. I know, I should have done my research but, he came highly recommended.

Loyd Roling Construction Solon, Iowa...Stay away from hiring him, he doesn't fulfill his contract; he takes your money and will leave the job half done. Even the local lumber yards won't hold a charge account with him because his reputation is so shady.
Bottom line; he couldn't even finish building a dog house. Pass him by.

That's just the way it is. Even if you prevail in a lawsuit, there is frequently no guarantee that a judgment will be paid. Different states have different measures available for collection, but it is not usually easy.

If you live in the MD, DC, VA area DO NOT use BC Contractors, owner Bruce Cohen. He is an unlicensed, and uninsured scam artist who presents his company as an all-purpose home improvement company. In actuality he subcontracts out to inferior Craigs list unlicensed individuals who do shoddy work that will not pass state inspection codes. It is these indivuduals that he knows nothing about their work products who will meet with you under the auspices of his company. They will fail to secure state permits leaving the property owner at risk for fines and penalties. Bruce will only converse with you by phone and send "company representatives" to speak with clients. This is due to the fact that he does not even reside in the U.S! BC contractors has been cited by Maryland Home Improvement Commission several times. Website photos are stock pictures and not a true representation if work done by the company. Consumers beware of this scoundrel!

What about the builder's rights??? My boyfriend is a builder and is always trying to help the homeowner. A lot of builders / contractors have ripped off homeowners with Hurricane Sandy here in NJ - but what about the homeowners that do not live up to their contracts and pay their bills because they thought they were going to get more money from the funds and don't inform the builders that they really cannot afford to make improvements on their homes. There is all this protection for the homeowners - there is none for the Builders!!! Oh yes...their insurance company - they have so many clauses that by the time you read through them all - you realize you are not covered. Some of these home owners just expect you to finish the work on credit...you cannot do that!!! Builders have to eat and pay their bills too!

The best things they say happens unexpectedly and not all that glitters is gold. Am Maia Brigdeston from Canada i have been sick with cancer for the past 8 years and it has really affected my marriage. Due to the fact that my husband could no longer bear the shamed, he decided to break up with me. I searched everywhere for help but all was to no avail until i saw a post on the internet about a spell caster who has helped several people. I decided to get in touch with the spell caster and he told me that the sickness and problems i see today that i will see them no more. He prepared a spell for me and in less that 24 hours, i went for a test in the hospital to God almighty i was confirmed cancer free. Before i could finish rejoicing about me been free from the sickness, my husband called me that he needs me back. If there is anyone out there that needs help should contact Doctor Okpamen via his Email: ( Doctorokpamenspelltemple@hotmail.com )

I am going through a similar problem with a homeowner. We started a project to flip a rental property and had it broken down per room, he changed a bunch of things from the original bid and we ran into structural and water damage. He verbally agreed to everything and we told him our rates and timeline for the additional work, but when it cam to the bill he decided it was too expensive and kicked us off the job and didn't pay. We began the process of a mechanics lien against the property and now he is suing us for $7k in some made up charges. How he thinks he can sue us for $7k when he owes us $5k makes no sense to me and not to mention doing two weeks before Christmas. Added bonus.

My brother made the mistake of paying a contractor in advance to build an addition to his garage. The contractor ripped the siding off the end of the garage and removed the sheet rock from the interior of the same wall. He started digging the footer and has never been back. After finding out the contractor spent the money on a car and put it in his wife's name, further checking proved the contractor didn't own a home, had no assets, and separated from his wife the day after the car was bought. This was in Martinsburg, WV.

Here in NH, contractors do not need a license,and they are not held accountable.
Every lawyer tells us it will take "more money than we can recover" to take them to court!
Stay away from Mark Stewertson and J Moran...
No matter what name the "business has", as they hide under new business names as soon as they are "found out"!
We are out over 200 thousand dollars,with an unfinished shell,and now must find a way to finish it with no time or money!
Get a mortgage from a bank, and put them in charge of building, banks will successfully sue!
As a ""civilian"", you have NO protection!

Please don't hire Eddie Olive if you live in California area. This guy is not knowledgeable of what he is doing, arrogant, does not communicate , or return call, and is a thief. He will make a contract for a certain amount of money and then the job will be horrible. All they want is to keep asking the homeowner for more money and does not do the job. He is a thief and is very dishonest. Of course he a liar and a thief.

If you are in the tristate region - especially New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, especially the Bronx, Westchester County, Long Island, Manhattan or Brooklyn- DO NOT HIRE SERGIO FRATARCANGELI or D'Amore and Sons. His work is so bad it's dangerous. His workers and/or subcontractors that were hired in my house were drug addicts and left air conditioning ducts suspended in my attic with masking tape. Sergio put on a new expensive roof that has to be completely ripped off a year later because I have water leaking in my brand new Andersen Windows through the walls, down into my basement. He used indoor paint and materials outside, which have since deteriorated and I now have to remove them and start all over. Sergio left work completely undone, as well as unfinished. He caused unnecessary grief on my family, where we begged him to show up- he would tell us he was coming, while someone was waiting - and he would never show. He lives a good life, while my house is falling apart- and I'm out of money to fix it.
This man is heartless and does not care about doing shoddy work. Any other contractor that has been here since has been utterly shocked at how bad the workmanship is. My house belongs on a reality show and I'm stuck coming home to house I hate. Please, I beg. Pass this information on.

I hired a contractor, I am located in Bronx, NY. he was hired to re-grout my bluestone work in my back yard as well as three pathways, one of them being the entryway to my front door. Along with that I had a front stone wall that pieces came loose to add mortar and secure the wall again. The job was ruined. After a week I checked it out when I came home. They grouted the bluestone and marble, nothing neatly set between the stones. They chipped and broke parts of the stone. I can go on forever. I told him I wanted a refund because I had to hire someone to do the job right. I do not want him back because neither he nor his "master Mason" can fix it because they are denying the bad workmanship even exists. The mistakes are not is one area, but the whole job. What recourse do I have. he already said, "take me to court" I have no money only $200 in the bank so you will not get anything. Our mistake, we paid cash. Can someone provide advice how we can obtain reparation. So instead of having a physical confrontation, I want to handle this legally. Thank you. Stone work gone bad

I feel your pain, I hired a contractor to put a mother in law suite on my home. For me to live in answering my daughter will live in the main house. We hired him because in part he guaranteed to be finished by may 2nd and my husband is dieing from cancer. He wanted this completEd before he died. He worries about me. Sad to say we gave this contractor 80000 and we have had so many issues. I have no plumbing because he will not pay the plumber 16000 and wrote bad checks. So now I'm stuck. Do I fire him and then he gets away with it? Do I Sue him and loose because I am pretty sure that he is going to file bankruptcy? Do I try to take him to small claims court because he won't finish the job properly? Currently my husbands a full left side amputee no hip leg and only a half of a pelvis. I have no bathroom or running water in my mother in law suite. My kids must move in, I need there help! Am I allowed to have my kids finish the work? Idk .... this contractor did not get permits, did not provide a blueprint and my footer is exposed . Nick hornbeck has devastated my family. My husband should be able to die in peace and he is just worried for me because I have this mess to clean up. There really is no justice. I feel bad for you and your family as well. I told my husband that our home is what we make it... and life really is to short so at the end of this nightmare....I choose to just simply move on. Nick and these other crooks will get there's someday

We usually only hear about how contractors cheat homeowners. It's sad because homeowners hold all the cards. I have had my company fir over 20 years. The sad part is that when I get shorted less than 5k because homeowner ran out of money, or decided to complain about a few roofing nails in their mulch bed, I don't bother suing. I send invoices and hire collection agencies. It makes me feel better knowing this invoice will be a thorn for them forever. Any amount over 5k, I have my attorney attack like a pitbul. We contractors work for our money. Don't steal my money !!! And yes , to me, I consider it stealing. Thieves! !!!

The money was my dads life savings..he scrimped and saved. He was in the navy, then worked fixing cash registers for NCR. He walked all over Manhattan so he could save money. At age 90, he was in a nursing home during the renovation. He passed at week 15 of a 22 week rebuild and were at week 37.

Same here. You see numerous things about bad contractors and the lengths homeowners will go through to get out of paying their balance. It becomes a game to them as soon as they realize you are on to them. And it's always...I will give you a check upon final inspection or as soon as these little issues are resolved. I'm dealing with one, that a customer is going as far as sabatoging work on their own home, just to create a scenario so they can use that when we have tried to collect. On top of the money owed.they appear to be trying to set this up so they can get the small amount they paid back. We executed the job to perfection, on time, budget and schedule with no surprises or anything we werent expecting. Still they are screwing us and they are doing things that are very clear to see what their angle is. Just horrible human beings, the games they are playing at this point. It's become so predictable that it's actually comical, except the money they owe us of course. Come to find out, there is a wake of contractors they have left behind them that they have done this to. Their needs to be an Angles list type site to earn builders against bad homeowners.

I feel for you. I myself went way above and beyond for a customer, and had zero issues. Job was flawless...but these Pro's that you refer to..really do exist. You can clearly see the tell tale signs, certain words or the way something is comunicated that lets you know that your dealing with, ONE OF THEM.!! What I have found out at least with the absolutely criminal people I'm dealing with right now, is there is always a list of contractors, electricians, plumbers...that have all had the same experience with these people. This is what they do.!! The trades really need an Angles list type site that we can report these type customers to, to protect ourselves. It would be amazingly invaluable to me if I could avoid scumbags like this By simply checking...THEIR REFERENCES.!! Fortunately, after30 years in the business this is our f irst, but that makes it tougher to comprehend, how people would do stuff like this, just to get out of paying you for services performed. The people we are dealing with are classic, using every phrase and trick I have read about numerous times. You will here many contractors say the same thing, THEY ARE PROS, THIS IS HOW THEY DO THINGS.
Anonymous said…
To the contractors, at least you can put a lien on a home and have some recourse there or can stop work altogether. I, as a homeowner have no recourse when my contractors decide to stop working and not communicate. Just because you have a family issue or over-extended yourself, that is your own damn problem and for you to work out. What the hell happened to honoring ones word? This goes for both sides.

We paid Gabriel McCormick from McCormick construction $12,000 up front because he was a pastor and a nice guy...or so we thought. He removed most of the trees but said he gave them away. 5 acres of hard wood some 100 year old Oak trees that had to come out and he said no money. He left the job and lied for 6 months saying it was being done. We live in VA and he is in Shreveport, Louisiana. Don't use this guy, he is a liar and a cheat. He even told us he prepaid for our culverts and he didn't. He made a bigger mess of our land that will cost more to fix his mess. Do upset. Luckily, we have a lawyer. I am going after his license if I can too.

This all sounds great, and I will definitely be looking into it, but I am curious about the whole credit thing. You see, in my case, it is not that I have bad credit, it is that I have NO credit; I have tried Credit Karma to get my credit scores, applied for credit with several different stores or cards, and the answer is always that I have "insufficient credit history" to get it. To make matters worse, I am on Social Security Disability and only get $920 per month, which is barely covering my rent right now as I have been able to find no apartments that suit my needs, and DEFINITELY leaves me unable to pull together any kind of savings. For reasons i try to get a loan in the internet so that i can pay my rent and the rest things, my people can you believ i was cam sum of $650 USD, i was so cofuse i don't no what to do any more and i share tiers ever day. But for God so kedly i got my loan from a lender in UROMI i am the happly person in life now. my people pls n pls no the can of lender you contact because most of them are big scam and i will advice everyone who need an urgent loan to contact Mr JOBAZ FARUKH So if you are interested in a loan you can also contact him with this email jobazfarukhloanfirm@gmail.com

It is regrettable how some contractors will post bogus lies after a homeowner exposes them!! I see no logic for a homeowner to post against a contractor if the contractor did his job correctly. Believe me, contractors are 9 times out 10 at fault. (I worked for 3 of them) They have everything to gain from screwing the homeowner and they will always do it then laugh about it with their friends. It is easy for them to put a lien on your house if you don't pay, but you will need to spend Thousands $$$ to sue them. Think about it.
By the time you figure out that your job will not be finished, they have already collected most of the money, and you have nothing left to pay for a lawyer.( at that point, do you spend your $$ on a lawyer, or hire someone else to finish the job?)

Tons of homeowners like this. They always want want want but never want to pay. Angie's list is a sham but need something similar to protect the contractors from the shady homeowners.
Builder said…
You realize BBB and Angie's list are shams don't you? Do your research. They advertise the ones that pay them and support the nutty homeowners that don't live in reality.

You can really only rely on references.
Builder said…
All the pathetic homeowners on here looking for ways to sue their contractor. Would be funny to see them squirm if their boss could sue them if he didn't like their work even though it met the obligations. You people should have to post a $12,000 bond at your work so if your boss is in a bad mood and doesn't like your work that day (based only his opinion even though you did what he asked) he can sue you. Pathetic scum.
