Quality of some work is questionable on siding, flashing and back porch rebuild. Gaps, caulking not done where there are gaps, house wrap exposed, new flashing not put around attic windows, uneven edges of jpanels in areas, bathroom exhaust is under the soffit not coming out like it use to and should be, new electrical outlets installed were never inspected and sounds like not to code, back porch has numerous issues, posts not in contact with cement, nails sticking out, joists not touching the support underneath, cracks in materials, some posts are movable on posts for steps, gaps between spindles are inconsistent, screws were not counter sunk leaving jagged edges. Awning or roofing over back porch was not done. We were told to deal with the awning ourselves. This was work due to hail damage, so insurance coverage. Continually told there were upgrades and they were free. We opted not to have some things repaired due to minor damage and not replacing the shutters. Told by Zach that he never trusted us, said he would put a lean on our house when we questioned the billing. We never said we wouldn't pay. He would not provide us with invoices with breakdown of materials and labor. Said he recorded some of our conversations although we believe this to be a lie, very intimidating and fear tactics used. He used all the money on so called upgrades that he continued to say were free, we don't know what they are. We did do some add ons and were pressured to replace the flashing and wrap around windows and doors after I confirmed we did not want to replace it earlier in the process. He continued to repeatedly talk about siding the entire garage when we told him right away we did not have the funding to do so at this time. He used the rest of the money for garage repairs on these supposed upgrades that again we were told were 'free'. So we have no insurance money not toward garage repairs. Another contractor says he cannot give us an estimate for roofing the back porch because the porch will not pass inspection. When questioned a few times about minor issues he immediately pulled the crew off the job. I am the main contact and doer which he seemed to not like because I am a woman. We didn't say a lot of things because we were concerned he would delay work which he did then blamed us for his crew being behind. Zach said the crew was behind schedule due to our many changes. He said they would do three sides of the house and finish the last side once the bow window was replaced. Instead he waited until late November when the window was installed. We didn't change things. He decided not do do several things he originally said he woukd do that were included in the insurance quote. He actually didn't physicalky do any of the construction work, he subcontracts. I could go on and on. The bottom line is we were taken advantage of and made the mistake of paying in full. We were told we would receive a warranty for the roofing and the certication that they are certified to do that work. We have yet to receive these items and he has not responded to our request. The only thing we got was here is your warranty without any information. ZP Construction submitted one invoice to our insurance and a different invoice to us. Our insurance adjuster has told us this is INSURANCE FRAUD. We are investigating how we should proceed with not having things done properly or not at all based on the insurance quote. Buyer beware! Thoroughly check on licenses, certifications, references, etc before employing a company. read more
