"I am enclosing the original estimate #114 and the accompanying Invoice #404 as well as the letter I received from the (Members). I will address this by line on the estimate; 1) Install scaffolding and repair very specific areas as pointed out by owner. I offered to resurface the whole face of the house that we affected by the repairs but the owner did not want to spend the money required to do this. He was informed that repair lines would be evident but he said that would be alright. 2) Caulk windows and shutters in affected areas. The triple windows and the south facing window were caulked as requested. I informed the owner that one south facing window had a piece of lumber behind the shutter and needed to be repaired by the Shutter Company. 3) Caulk roof at entry. The caulking was performed by a Certified Florida Roofing Contractor and he even inspected the rest of the roof at no charge. He informed the owner that the roof was improperly installed and needed to be replaced and done properly. The owner did not want to expend the money. The caulking used is non-hardening material that allows for expansion and contraction of different materials. It is designed to stay “soft and mushy” as the owner stated. 4) Prep, prime and paint affected areas with owner supplied paint. Not only did I paint the affected areas, but I sent the painter back to paint the entire front of the house and I purchased 2 gallons of $72.00 per gallon self-priming, Sherwin-Williams elastomeric pain out of my pocket since the owners were not happy with the color difference with their 4 year old paint job (even using the paint they supplied first). The owners then claimed they paid the painter $200.00 extra to do this and even though he denied it, I deducted $200.00 from their final invoice to cover this. I also disposed of several cans of paint the owners had that had gone bad and had to be treated as hazardous waste. Also, when I first bid the job another contractor had already cut away several square feet of bad stucco and someone had put plastic over a 3 X 12 foot section and had put the paving stones from the walk on the bottom of the plastic to keep it in place (the complaint about throwing their pavers around). I personally put these back in place and raked around them while the owners looked on and said they were fine. And as far as the fired stucco installed was concerned, the owners asked why I changed installers and I told them he came on another job and had been drinking so I had to change installers. I have been in business for many years and have had no complaints. I do not advertise and work from word of mouth so I can furnish you with dozens of happy customers reports and I will be very disappointed for any libelous statements published concerning my company.
