This is mainly for Kirk, Owner of ROOSTER HOMES, AKA ROOSTER REMODELS, GIG HARBOR REMODEL, ROOSTER CONCRETE. I could not imagine a worse contractor. All the time spent interviewing and bidding our house build was for nothing as we chose Rooster and it was our biggest nightmare. Not sure where to start to warn everyone.. Our house took 3x the timeline, at one point nobody showed up for one month in the middle of construction. Weeks with no work was common. They never cleaned the jobsite once without me asking them first. Used my brand new quartz island for tool storage(pictured). Kirk frequently asked for advances on payments, we had a payment schedule set up before project. On days when I would bring a check are the only days I could get Kirk to the house to check on the quality of work being done. We had 3 police reports filed at our address while Kirk's company took over the jobsite. One was for his employee that was sleeping in our vacant home prior to demolition of the original home. Second was for a theft from our detached garage that only Kirk's employees and myself had access to. Third time was when Kirk hired a felon, and didn't tell me, and I had my family onsite to view our dream home often. A Comcast installer let me know of this felon and I brought it up to Kirk. After learning what charges his employee had against him, I advised it was okay for him to be at my home. Two weeks later that "former" employee showed back up to my house and yanked Kirk's GC off a ladder and held him at gunpoint asking for the money he was owed from Rooster. I paid extra for Rooster Concrete to pour a retaining wall, the person that Kirk hired to frame my house ended up doing the concrete work(pictured). The wall was to come off our house and run parallel, in line with the deck above. Their wall was 10-15 degrees off of that and when I brought that up to Kirk, on the phone, he advised me that it is in fact straight, even though he had not seen it. Then he came and saw it in person and advised my house is crooked, not his wall. At that point he offered to put a lattice fence in front of the wall to cover it up. When I said that covering up an expensive wall with a cheap fence is not acceptable, he advised it wouldn't be "the cheap lattice fencing." They did eventually cut the old wall out and pour a new straight wall. At which point they placed weep holes at the top of the retaining wall with none down low so water is trapped behind wall. Also the footing of this wall was above the grade of our lower patio and had rebar sticking up through the top. Kirk advised that he had a solution to fix the issue, ultimately it was never fixed. The day following my home passing plumbing inspection, Kirk had the portable toilet removed from the site to save money and the crew was using my new bathrooms! I brought this up to him and acted like I was crazy and this was normal. Ultimately I allowed it because I thought only weeks were left, that turned into months. I completed the deck on the home and found the GC sleeping on my chair on the deck in the middle of the work day. The GC advised that he had just returned from a fishing trip the night before. After almost two years of this nightmare, we were nearing the end and had a week or so left, then Kirk asked for his final payment. I explained that I would not be providing that until all the work is completed, as written in the agreed upon payment schedule. Kirk said he would not perform any more work until I provided payment. So I obviously did not pay him. He then put a lien on my house! Which he never pursued, bc he did not have a case, and it expired. After everything that Rooster had put my family through, he put a lien on my home when he is the one that walked away from the job without finishing. All of these issues were discussed with Kirk via email or text, which I still have, as well as all the police reports. I have many more examples and photos but won't make this review any longer.
