Bob is an expert in old houses -- we are so glad he is working with us! He is willing to do work for us, but is also willing to teach us how to do the work. He is a perfectionist and does not cut corners. On one of our first projects Bob took us to the lumberyard to teach us how to pick out good lumber. He spent several hours teaching about different kinds of lumber and he patiently answered our questions. Bob is very easy to work with, can answer any question we throw at him, and works hard. Whether you are looking for a consultant (to help answer your questions) or a contractor (who does the work so you don't have to), Bob is your go-to guy. I give him the highest possible recommendation.
Description of Work: We own a 100+ year old house that we are renovating. We are doing some of the work ourselves. We have hired Bob as a consultant to help answer our questions and get us started on projects, and we have also hired Bob and some of his crew to do some projects for us. Last week, Bob and Henry (one of his crew-members) helped fix part of our foundation, and reframe a wall. For consulting, Bob charges $50/hr. If he is actually doing the work, his fees depend on the project, but we have found his prices to be very reasonable compared to other estimates we received.

From the start this work went poorly and after more than a year it is going worse. The job is unfinished; multiple components of our house and roof remain damaged. The current situation is that I Custom has breached the contract, committed a number of violations to the Indiana Home Improvement Contracts Act, failed to pull construction permits in manner related to the work being done, breached the Indiana statutory warranties of workmanship, and through negligence left our house worse off than before they started the work. The result of their work and responses to our complaints has caused I Custom to receive a stern letter of warning from the Indiana Attorney Generals Office, and an "unsatisfactory" rating from the Indiana Better Business Bureau (lowest rating possible.) I Custom failed to attempt to straighten the main ridgeline of the house, incorrectly installed all of the shingles on the house, caused our skylights to leak, broke one of the upper eaves, to name just a few items.
Description of Work: We hired I Custom to complete many repairs to our house and garage. The company owner, Bob Post, estimated the work on our house personally. The work was to include straightening the main ridge line of the house, then completely re-roof and repair the roof system of our house and garage. Also included in this work were repairs to two chimneys, replacing and repairing the lower eaves of the house and fascia throughout, minor structural repairs to the garage, and the installation of two new motorized bathroom ceiling vents.

Response from I CUSTOM
The member has not allowed me to view their complaints. I have asked to on at least 4 occasions. If I have 2 or more weeks notice and am given at least 3 possible dates and times to meet, I should be able to arrange for a representative of the shingle manufacturer and other knowledgeable and honorable people view, discuss and solve the complaints. Bob Post, Owner
