Default Building etc. New Costr.

Hi, you asked about construction.

In our neighborhood a nice lady had a Lanai extension done by T and D.
I will not go into the gory details, that would be lengthy.
I will say, we have a lot of experience in home building, we used to draw the house drawings for several contractors in another state and follow the subs and the work. We are retired but have built 5 homes from the beginning, clearing the land, and then footings and framing etc., etc.

This local firm took so long, it was unbelievable. They were sloppy, undependable and rude.
Suggestion, look around, get written bids, get a start day, a finish date and a guarantee where if they do not meet the finish day ON TIME there is a reduction in price, DOCUMENT IT, DOCUMENT IT IN WRITING.
