I don't normally post stuff like this but
we have a situation that we feel needs to be addressed. As most of you all know on here that Cindy has 2 wonderful, amazing teenage boys with Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy, and are wheelchair bound.
We bought a brand new house in Kuna, July of this year. We needed a bigger space for the boys to be able to get around the house. Before finishing the build of the house, we asked the builders if they could modify the house, we asked them to not have the carpet installed, because it's hard to wheel around on carpet, and to possibly widen the bedroom doors to 36", so it can be wheelchair accessible. They said no, but we moved in here anyway.
There's a State funding called Family Direct through Health and Welfare, which helps family with disabled children. Every year the boys get this help from them until they turn 18. So this year, we asked to have the house modified. We hired a company called McBride Contracting to widen the doors to 36". They gave us an estimate of $4200 to get it done. Family Direct sent them a check of $3200 on Sept. 18th, and cashed it that day. The rest of the money has to wait until the job is completed. We contacted them to see when they can start on it, they've avoided us time and time again. They finally came Oct. 11th. They dropped off one person to our house and start making a door frame, for the master bedroom because we had to move the original door from our master bedroom to make room for the boys to get access in the master bath, and to prepare to have a pocket door put in the bathroom then take off the other door frames in the other bedrooms.
He only stayed for 3 hours that day, and barely completed the task. This company has cancelled us out of their schedule atleast 5x., when they're supposed to be here everyday. We mentioned to them that this construction needed to be done by the end of October. It's now November and they have bailed out on us, without completing the job. Their work ethic is hideous and messy and they seem like they don't know what they're doing, and don't care what we think, because we have pointed out some of their mistakes. We ended up letting them go, and now they're threatening to put a lien on our house, and told us that they've fulfilled their obligation as per the contract that we have with them and that they're done. Well, they're not done by far!
My main reason for wanting to have our story heard is so that we can warn others about not using this company, McBride Contracting, because they have no compassion for the disabled and ruined our brand new home by tearing it apart and not wanting to finish the job. We're so upset and unhappy with this company that we're forced to take actions by speaking with an attorney.
Pictures below will show what they've done to our house and what they think is complete! Our house is in shambles! read more
