Mr. Ray performed shoddy workmanship in the bathroom and installing the floors. The plumbing in the bathroom was not plumbed to code. The laminate flooring was supposed to have an under-layment installed first, but he failed to install the under-layment. This resulted in extremely uneven floors, causing gaps between the floors and subfloors. He refused to fix these problems. We contacted the general contractor, Mr. Weaver, who also refused to fix the problems. After numerous attempts to get them to fix the problems, we filed complaints with the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors against both Ray and Weaver. We filed a lawsuit against Weaver, who in turn filed a lawsuit against Ray. As a result of the lawsuit, it was disclosed and admitted by Michael Ray that he (Ray) performed unlicensed plumbing and electrical work in the basement of our home. Mr. Ray indicated Mr. Weaver had full knowledge of the unlicensed work being performed. Mr. Ray was put on probation by the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors. In order to avoid jeoparding his license, Mr. Weaver bought gthe house back from us for the full price we paid for it, and paid our attorneys fees associated with this lawsuit, in full. I would not use or recommend to anyone else Jim Weaver, Mt. Jefferson Realty, River Rock Land Comapny or Michael Ray Builders.
