I made the mistakes of being impressed by how well they presented their business, forming an idea they were fundamentally good people by how they present their lives, and trusting by how well spoken they are, and believing things would work out when I noticed things going awry. I worked with Wirtanen Homes on one of their larger projects. Wirtanen refuses to pay even hard costs for materials used on the job. Wirtanen requested I purchase tens of thousands of dollars worth materials which he agreed to reimburse, and not only did not pay, but kept the excess material not needed to complete the job. This is theft. Wirtanen requested a snow plowing contractor that billed on my credit card to facilitate jobsite access when I was not even working on the job and refuses to pay. Wirtanen refuses to review Reciepts and invoices or to negotiate. I was compelled to file a lien on his clients house which Wirtanen responded by purchasing a bond to cover in the case the house gets foreclosed on rather than to pay off his debts. These are facts I can prove with pictures, contracts, correspondence, Reciepts, and invoices. I won't even get into the level of deceit he put into covering up problems and placing 100% of the blame on me to protect his reputation with his clients. Whether you are a client or a contractor beware!! read more
