What should have taken 2.5 to three months took six, because Matt would continually leave to go on other jobs. If he was not here, then neither were his subcontratcors. We hired an archtect at Matt's request who charged a lot of money ($5,000) to design the additiions.
What Matt did was change the plans, namely, lowering the new rooms by two feet so that the interior would not require steps.
By lowering the foundation, he was warned many times that, in our area, this is below water level.
The foundation is block, was never wrapped or tarred--therefore, with water bleeding through these and seeping in under the footers will eventuaklly compromise the mortar and mold the floors.
He installed sumps, but the areas are of course perpetually wet.
Electrician put switches in places hard to reach, and convinced us to avoid an upgrade to 150 amps which was in the contract.
Matt installed Andersen windows. The screens for these windows did not match the slots in the windows. He told US to call Andersen (since the windows were already installed) to address the problem.
The new bathroom is far removed from the boiler, requiring a re-cycler to provide hot water which was to be done before his plumber (a drunk) took off to go gambling. This was never done, and now he has asked US to pay for it's purchase, that he would install it.
His friend and foundation man used our property as a staging area for other projects, and essetntially double-charged us for yard restoration following the completion of the project. While some of the over charge was remediated, this person also worked with Matt on heating, and essentially changed our contract from in-floor (radiant) heat, to UNDER-floor heat ($$$), then failed to properly install a thermostat.
While some of these issues are smaller than others, we are now faced with taking Matt to court for the more egregious ones. He simply got overwhelmed and refuses to listen to women, in this case us, the homeowners. However, I'm sure our lawyer will get his attention.
