    Complaint Type:
    Order Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I contracted with Southwind Unlimited for: fence and back porch roof repair. They found damage in the building and added on additional work, Change Order, #**** on 1/4/22. I had issues during the work, such as his yelling at workers, the side-yard fence built not as agreed upon, not aligned, and the latches only facing inward. ***** tried to add on extra money for things that were not true. I have evidence of this on the fence, for ex, in which he claimed there were extra posts costing more, but I counted them and he was lying. I still have his paperwork for this so it could be checked. This complaint involves the painting. To fix the damage near the back porch, they estimated for interior and exterior paint, and I paid ahead of time. They said it was too cold to paint in January and they would return to finish the painting when it was warmer, which I understood because it was freezing. I have emailed and texted ***** several times beginning in May of 22. However he not only refused to complete the work but made up lies and was rude. My last communication was today, June 16, 22. I said perhaps you don't remember, here are some photos showing you that the paint is all different shades in different places and it obviously is not completed. He still refused and claimed I wanted it left "natural" and had rejected his estimate. HIs estimate was for additional drywall work inside, which I thought seemed high, and I said I didn't want that done right now, I would have another estimate first. This had nothing to do with the porch roof repair that led to interior and exterior repair of water damage that was already quoted and paid for. Amounts paid: (Fence: $3499 ) Porch roof and additional repairs including paint that was not done: $8213.50 + 2500 = $10,713.50 His paperwork was confusing, and he might have overcharged me, as I paid 2500 on 1-7 for materials, and then 8213.50 (which was 2500 + 5713.50, including materials ) on 1-13. 10 PHOTOS UPLOADED

    Southwind Unlimited did landscaping work on our farm. He surpassed our expectations- it was completed in a short time, at very reasonable cost. It has greatly improved the value and safety of our land. Workers were very polite and professional.
