I’m doing a job for a very high profile person right now, I wish I could show house pictures or say who it is but I can’t 😕

The man in the header image is Mike Holmes, from the hit television show Holmes on homes. He would have a stoke if he seen this house. Mike repairs faulty contractors work, he’s made a show and career out of it. A terrible contractor is not an easy fix, Having to repair other contractors work is anything but cheap. The Renovation of this lake house was originally hired out to another contractor. To put it lightly, he royally screwed the job up. Different trims in the house, the mitres on the door and window casing was so bad I think a 5 year old did it. Out of 17 interior doors, 3 would close properly, hell the garage to house door is an interior door not an exterior door 😳 The tile in the shower made my skin crawl. It breaks my heart.

A piece of my heart died inside when I seen the house

So the original contractor was there the last week finishing up the house on the inside. We have already been awarded the contract for the outside of the house. Doors have been taken out and redone, when he seen our guys doing that he said “what the fuck are you doing that for?” I would try to diplomatically say “because you sir, are an idiot” Windows have had to come out and been installed properly. Our guys would go through the house and out on the top deck to get materials ready so we could do our job and the inside contractor would lock the door and trap our guy on the deck.

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL

Last week we had a fist fight between one of our guys and the old contractor. He didn’t like us tearing down the soffit to repair his mess. As much as our guy was in the right and he was attacked by the other contractor, we had to take him off site to another job. We can’t have that on a site . I swear we could have a reality tv show, it’s been crazy 2 weeks. The view from this job is simply beautiful.

The Siding contractors were supposed to start last week but couldn’t, the homeowner was not happy with us about that. I pushed them to get to site and stressed the urgeancy that they showed up this Wednesday. Wednesday morning and our siding installer came to site , got set up and organized. They brought job trailers and his RV, the job is 2 hours outside of town so staying on site is the best practice. This is a job site not a HOLIDAY, guys forget that being that they are camping. I drive there everyday and drive home, I don’t like out of town work. I leave the house at 5 am and home by 9 at night, very long tiring days. So I get to the job Thursday morning and the landscaper comes to me and says “we have a big problem, the sider got drunk last night and was being a huge asshole”

Well, I snap, the guy WE hired was;

🔹drunk at 6 pm

🔹 calling everyone racial slurs

🔹 calling everyone gay and fags

🔹telling everyone how to do there jobs

🔹had his Rottweiler dogs off leash and running through the Sierra Stone deck that was being installed

🔹hitting on the inside contractors mom, saying and I quote “if your husband wasn’t here I’d take you back to my trailer and bang you”

We are the professional contractors, our guys are always good. I’ve used this sider for years. So now I have to fire the siding guy, where is he though? I look all over and one guys says “oh he ran to the dump he will be back in 45” well at least he’s off site, I think to myself. I begin making my apologies and some phone calls to the home owner to give full disclosure on what has occurred. She was happy I told her and we are still in the good books do to speak...

My phone rings, “MY TRUCKS ON FIRE, MY TRUCKS ON FIRE “ a voice yells on the other end. “Who is this?!” I respond “ it’s Joel, I’m by the dump” he says. Great now the siders truck caught fire ! I jump in my truck and race over there. I pull up to, well, a truck on fire!! Kind of karma don’t you think?

Shortly after I got there the fire dept arrived

KARMA IS A BITCH!!

The siding contractor is fired and won’t be back on our jobs ever. This family wants to use there lake property for the summer and then we are goin in to tear apart all the work the previous contractor did inside and repair it. I feel bad for this family. Why isn’t there more accountability for contractors? There’s so many bad contractors out there? It’s like finding a meddle in a hay stack, I strive to be a needle
