Faith Family Remodeling

Description of Work: Brian K Hollander, aka Faith Family Remodelers contracted with us to enlarge a porch, which required extending roofing; also to build a composite deck off of our dining room. We didn't mind giving a $3500 materials deposit for the porch/roof because he was a small business, but while the wife was gone on deployment to disaster duty for the month of May, 2007, the husband was too trusting. When Mr. Hollander did do the roof for the porch, the concrete was not poured and it was being held up by 2x4s. He started on the deck and asked for the additional $3500 for more materials (which the husband gave him in another check), telling him the concrete would be poured the following day. Needless to say, the concrete did not show up and the base of the deck was less than desirable and the next contractor had to almost completely dismantle it. It was nailed, not screwed, just very poor workmanship. I had contacted references, and they all gave him great references. The $7K cash was what we are out - although the remodeling job was worth more than twice that done properly.
