Blue Mountain Beach Repair LLC

Description of Work: BMB was contracted in Aug 2011 to repair front face of house to include both sides of double windows on 1st floor to ground level where the succo had bubbled (finish to be similar to existing stucco) at a cost of $1,200. On Sept 1, 2011, a change order for addtional work to repair stucco bubbles on the left wall of the entryway, 3 areas on the south wall of the building and the final area on the 2nd floor of the octagon portion of the house at a cost of $2,300. The individual who worked on the 1st phase was fired for being drunk. He did not fix the gouge in the banding and left this for the painter, who filled it with caulking. Hill (owner of BMB) had this rectified, but the painter used the base house color instead of the banding color. The contractor of phase 2 had to patch an additional bubble where a patch had already been made. Very attractive. The leak in the entryway for which Hill had a contractor caulk for a cost of $200 did not fix the leak. Hill was advised and he stated he himself would get on the roof to check and thought perhaps the leak may have been coming from storm shutter housing box. (Hill never returned to finish this.) We complained to Hill about the finish not matching the prior stucco and the patches were obvious. We wrote Hill a certified letter dated Mar 12, 2012, after a phone conversation with him about our dissatisfaction with the stucco repair. Shortly thereafter Mr. Mauro appeared at our home saying Hill had advised him to avoid us as we were complaining about the work. Upon talking with him, he indicated he had advised Hill the only correct way to satisfactorily do the stucco repair would be to cover the entire wall with a substance tinted the house color thereby eliminating painting; Hill did not want any input from Mauro. Mauro provided an estimate of $3,800 (materials/labor) to do the job correctly. During our conversation, we learned Mauro was paid $900 for this work and we were charged $1,800 which included labor to install scaffolding. Mauro was upset re the scaffolding as it was his property and installed by him. Mauro checked the entryway leak and found the caulking used was all mushy and pealed off easily. The caulking around affected areas had not been done either. We paid Mauro an additional $900 to seal the leak and do the caulking. Needless to say Hill never responded to our letter. Now we have additiional bubbles in areas purportedly repaired and cracks have appeared.
