- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- Unanswered
I signed a contract with Dale's Independent Contracting Services to renovate my attached garage on my home, including removal of an interior non-load bearing wall, cabinets and counter, installing new garage doors, repairing the ceiling and interior wall from where the other wall was removed, rebuilding the steps leading into the house from the garage, preparing and installing an epoxy coating on the garage floor and painting the walls and ceiling. The contract was signed on October 6th, 2022 with work scheduled to begin on November 7th, 2022 and be completed by November 18th, 2022. The total cost was to be $13,150.00 with a deposit of $6,575.00 due upon signing of the contract. He removed the wall, cabinets and counter, installed the garage doors improperly. He didn't finish the drywall. He has not rebuilt the steps, the painting of the walls and ceiling or the epoxy coating on the garage floor. I have had items including tools, etc. that was in my garage sitting outside under tarps since November of 2022. He left exposed wiring hanging out of the receptacles with no caps on. He has come to me seeking draws against his final bill which I have paid in good faith in the amounts of $3000.00 on December 16th, 2022 and $2000.00 on January 21st, 2023 leaving me owing him the remaining $1575.00. When I contacted him about why he wasn't completing the job, he stated that the temperature was too cold to apply the epoxy. He first stated that it would have to be in the 50's and then later stated no lower than the 60's at night for 3-4 nights consecutively to properly ensure adhesion and quality drying. His last response to me was a text message on May 26th, 2023 stating that he was working on a basement and he had to finish it. He said he would get back to me after labor day and never did. I sent him a message on June 2nd, 2023 and again on July 14th, 2023 and received no response. I want him to honor this contract and complete this job for which I have paid him.
