Knights Construction

We just keep finding more and more problems. We hired Knight construction to build an additional bedroom and bathroom onto our house. We would NEVER recommend using them. The foundation was created improperly and sank and has continued to sink and we have had to pay to get the foundation fixed. We’ve seen multiple cracks in the walls and separation in our wood floors because of the improper foundation. This also caused our French doors to our backyard to not fit properly in the wall. After the doors started to not close properly we had justin come and look at them and we also asked him about the foundation. All he did for the doors was put more screws into it and he said it was all he could do, and he said the foundation was fine when we asked. Fast forward a few years and the French doors have leaked when it rained and caused toxic black mold to grow in the framing above the doors. This black mold has caused me to become extremely sick and I have been seeing doctors for years because of it. my husband recently took the French doors out and the siding off because we realized there was toxic black mold and he needed to remove the black mold immediately. we then found that there wasn’t enough foam in spaces around the doors, there was no outside paper under most of the siding, there was no tar paper around the doors which helps prevent leaks and the plywood used had cut outs in it, so they weren’t full pieces of wood used. so the wholes in the wood created lots of openings for water, weather and hornets to get in. Which also explains why it was always cold in our addition from the start. We are scared to look under the rest of the siding honestly. We also found that he didn’t put caulking on the trim above the doors on the inside so there was a gap letting the mold, weather and hornets from outside straight into our bedroom. Also the header above the door wasn’t properly done according to code. My husband who is not a contractor easily fixed all these things. During construction he also was extremely hard to reach and not responsive to calls also he smoked and littered in our backyard and left nails, debris and cigarette butts everywhere that we had to clean. If we find more things later, which we probably will, i will post an update. The photo is of the black mold after my husband took out the doors.
