Dishonest business and low quality job in sealing windows and doors.
I had to hire another contractor to adjust and level some of the windows that were installed very poorly. I had water leaking inside the house through two doors that he installed inside because the stucco was not patched right.
I contacted Donald to replace windows and doors in the beginning of November, everything went by so slow according to the original plan that we had with him. He said it will take two weeks to finish the windows and doors, yet it took over two months to finish the job, even though there was some bad weather involved for two to three days only, it shouldn’t extend the time frame longer than a month! we paid an exorbitant amount of money for the labor part of the job, yet it seems like we paid nothing! the work is always being delayed and he rarely ever show up to the worksite to check on the work.
I was hoping that things would move faster or at least be notified or estimate the time to finish the job with honesty, because I wouldn’t pay that much money for slackers. I was also time limited because getting the quote and ordering the windows was delayed by him, I just wish if I gave the chance to other window installers.
Basically I feel sorry for letting my family live in this mess. Donald had no respect for our time and our other life commitments. I would have respected him if he was honest with me from the beginning that he is busy to do our house rather than have us live under a construction zone for too long. He doesn’t even listen or care when I tell him to put more diligent work to finish. I regret even paying that ridiculous amount of money and for what? for my family to live in a house waiting for it to be done for over seven months! and for someone to disrespect the value of our time?
This business doesn’t even apply for city permit when it’s required, that’s how bad this business is. He also came back after the job was done to ask for extra money for permit fees and «extra work» that he claimed. The city had told me not to pay him before the city’s inspection, yet he made a fuss in front of my house wanting the final check amount to be paid although the work was not completely done. He increased the final amount, and the city inspector did not make an inspection yet.
The city told me that they wouldn’t pay the final check until everything is done and after the inspection to identify problems with the installation. The inspector identified a problem with the stucco around the doors and doors and they already started cracking after one month
