I hired John Leith to repair my front and back porch. He came to my house and let me know what would be needed to get porch as good as new. Contract stated all rotted wood would be replaced and both porches would then be sanded primed and painted.
Not only was the work not finished, the work that was done was sub par. Just a few months later, a lot of the paint has chipped off, boards have come lose and are coming apart.
From the attached pictures you can see nothing was sanded or primed. I am not sure why the boards are already pulling up - but they are.
The worst part is John Leith told me - "in writing" four times that he would come back and fix the issues: He was a "no show all our times"
Below are his texts -

"He never came back nor sent his crew"
When I emailed him along with the pictures i posted below, his son, Vincent, said they have to check what our contract said they would do before addressing further. No where in the contract does it say they will receive payment for sup par and not completing work correctly.
Lastly, when i drove by their listed address I could not find this business? Perhaps I missed it? I also added picture of address. read more
