Avalon Construction

Gavin Brown, President of the Avalon Construction LLC, 4106 Woodmont Park Lane, Louisville, KY 40245 entered into an agreement on June 2010 with Pamela Slung to perform certain construction and repair services on her home at 513 Jarvis lane in Louisville, KY 40207. Pamela Slung provided Mr. Brown with three personal checks with the amount of $12,500.00. Over the course of over two months minimal work was completed and the performance was shoddy workmanship, and every time he was questioned about where the money was, he said he did not have to tell me and refused to answer me. All of the work has to be redone, the siding he put up has to be removed and replaced because it was improperly painted and the paint is falling off in sheets. Then without my permission he removed the siding from the front of the house stating it did not match the side siding. Which is incorrect and he only removed a section on the side of the house, I do have a video of the damage. . After removing the siding from the front he asked for another draw on a check. At this point I want to know where the $12,500 is and what has been paid. I only get a response all the bills have been paid. But little work is completed. I had hired Gavin Brown on advise of a friend and that is why I had paid so much up front. I keep being reassured by the supposed friend that all was ok. The deck was poorly painted the steps that had a board replaced is out of placement and shaky. The boards that were replaced were put on with the print side up instead of down. The whole deck was to be painted only one area was stained. Several boards that were to be replaced were just patched. I now have a Lien on my property for $600.00 because Dave Rafferty has not been paid, I was charge $1,200 fee a %100 mark up. Then Gavin Brown charged me an addition hourly contractor fee of $787.50. The trees were trimmed and the Company Treez have not been paid in full the company was paid $500 of the $900 Treez charged Gavin Brown, then in turn Gavin Brown charged me $2,180. The company took down a 80 foot pine tree which was only to be trimmed at the top of damage. I have had four siding companies come out and give me estimates on repairing the damage to my home it is now going to cost me about $14,949. for damages. I will have a statement from siding company the poor work done. Gavin left my house open to further rain damage due to holes in the side of the house, I got bats in my house and had to have critter control come out and remove them. I was given one excuse after another regarding the work, finally after the siding was removed I went to the address on the statements and it was his home address, after his wife came to the door , Gavin called me on my cell phone when I was at his door and threatened me with trespassing I then told him that I would meet him at Kroger?s on LaGrange Road. I called the police to meet me there, because I felt threatened by Gavin Brown. I waited for the police to arrive before I meet with him. Therefore, I want the return of my payment of $12,500 minus any receipt of payments he has maded. Plus the $14,949 damages with a total of $27,449. http://sites.google.com/site/avalonconstructionllc/about-us
