Built our garage without a permit. Did not get required inspections done. The only inspection performed was after I contacted the county and they informed me that there was no permit. They currently have 2 failed permits that were never resolved. The garage floor is a disaster. Horrible rough finish,. Framing for floor was constructed incorrectly, one side bowed out and another side had to have most of it chipped out to the correct size so the structure would fit. Snow would blow into the structure on both north corners whenever there was a storm. I was constantly catching them make mistakes. They installed the wrong color outer corner. They said they would fix it, turns out all they did was paint it with touch up paint. Almost every support stud above the windows and doors was not sitting on the headers, I had to add sister studs to all of those so they were actually supporting. Roof flashing had gaps rather than overlapping, they had to go back and fix that. On the west wall they missed almost every single stud with every single nail. I confronted them on that and they said they would fix it. Their way of fixing it was to take down the top 6 rows of siding and put them back up damaged, then they went in and just cut off the other nails to make it look like they fixed it, 73 in all. Many of the sheathing staples and many of the siding nails on the north wall missed the studs too (a lot not a few). After I confronted them about the siding they did not finish framing in the soffit boxes, causing the tin on north west one to bow badly. As a result snow would blow into the soffit on the west side. We held monies back and sent them a notice of defect to try to get them to fix these problems. Their response was to have their attorney send us a letter threatening to put a mechanics lien on our property. I have pictures to back up everything I have stated here. read more
