My husband and I contracted Legacy Windows and Doors to build a room addition onto the back of our…read morehouse, as well as a stamped concrete patio & a pergola on Jan 29, 2019. Two weeks later, on Feb 14, 2019 we signed an additional contract with them to replace all of the windows in our home, replace our siding and add stone work to the front of our house. At the time of signing the first contract on Jan 29th, Mark, the owner, estimated that it would take approximately 3 weeks to get the permits &approximately 4 weeks to build the room addition. Regarding the windows and siding he said it takes about 10 days for them to come in & then would be installed quickly. Starting in late Feb we would get emails one or two times a week promising there would be some start on our job, on a certain day. The promised day would come & go & no one would show up. We wouldn't even get a phone call or text saying they wouldn't be there or why. By mid April, he had still not obtained any permits, he failed to get approval from our HOA (which I had specifically asked & was told, in the beginning that they would take care of), he claimed to have many of the materials to do the job, but when I asked multiple times to have the materials delivered to our house, they never showed up. Part of the contract included "professional drawings" of our project; which I ended up needing to obtain HOA approval. I was expecting some facsimile of a blueprint or at least a CAD rendering, but instead, after multiple requests received some pencil drawings on graph paper with the barest minimum of information on it. Absolutely no work was done until the end of May. Very, very slowly some things were done. People would show up & work for a week then they would disappear for multiple weeks, leaving behind huge piles of rubble in our yard. We would complain to Mark multiple times for weeks before it was removed. We had a pile of pea gravel, 6' wide & long & 4' high right beside our driveway, spilling into the driveway & sidewalk for over 5 months. All thewhile asking them to remove it. This whole project had a draw schedule for payment which, from day one was never followed. Every time we were asked for more money, it was presented as a situation of, 'we can't move forward without it & as soon as we get it, we will make huge progress '...the progrss never happened. Then, a year later with only $3000 left on the job, which is to be paid after we pass final inspection & the job is complete; the stone work is not complete, the room is not complete, & the patio & pergola have not even been started. At this point, we are ready to higher someone else to finish the jobs. Christmas of 2019, Mark promised the room would be done by New Years. I was not.
After we fired them, we were left with a room with failed framing permit & failed electric permit. We've had to hire an engineer, electrician, & 3 other separate companies to fix & finish what Legacy messed up. We are now paying out 1/2 again as much as the total original cost of the job to get it fixed.
I contacted a lawyer today to start the process of litigation & the lawyer had already taken action against Legacy on behalf of another of their customers & informed me that Legacy has filed bankruptcy.
