      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Unanswered
      Hello, ****************** ***** (Handy Hands Company) completed work on my house in December 2019 and gave me a 5-year guarantee/warranty, (ending next year 12/2024) however after about 3 to 6 months the vinyl siding started to melt, and come off of the house, and the porch railings were frail and shaking. Whenever there was heavy rain or a storm you would hear the trimmings fall off of the house, vinyl siding stripping off of the house. Contacted Mr. ***** many times through text, and each time he stated he would come back to correct the issue. Sent him many pictures of his work falling apart. A lot of things went wrong with the whole setup, work did not start on time he didnt complete the work by the deadline that he had given, and each day a different person would be here working. My heating system had to be replaced because his guy used water from the tank to work with (Mr. ***** had to pay for it). I kept texting him and he would say that he would schedule something and never did. It got to a point where I just texted him regularly because I felt as though he was ignoring me and wanting me to give up on asking him to correct the job he had done. I have texts from 2020 through 2022. After many unsuccessful attempts, I got Legal ******* involved they sent Mr. ***** a letter to correct the issues. Mr. ***** came 1 time to pretend to correct the issues and never came back. I feel he took advantage of me being a woman and just kept putting me off. It was hard gathering the money to pay for the repairs and for it to only fall apart 3 to 6 months later. This attempt is to see if this work can be completed as I have already paid my hard-earned money and should not have to pay someone else to do the job, I am not inclined to believe that he will come and complete the job as he had already promised once to come and do that job. I am looking for a solution. I thank you in advance for considering my request.
