Spencer's crew did a beautiful job on this project. They do, however, have no project supervision or management from Spencer himself. As a result, many of the materials were short and had to be rush ordered or were the wrong width, length, etc. This 10-week project was bid at ''time and materials'' with a cap at apx. $75K. This cap meant absolutely nothing. Spencer refused to stick to his agreed price and walked off the job until we agreed to continue to pay for materials (at cost) and the crew's labor (which he discounted $2.50/hr). Did I mention my 10-week project became a 6-month project? The crew only works an average of 4 hours a day and VERY slowly. They are also extremely messy. The job site, while cleaned up in the end, spent 6-months with ''stuff'' and tools just left wherever they were last used - seldom cleaned up. Also, they used my husband's tools as well and many were missing - which Spencer did replace - his crew denies taking anything.
Description of Work: A very extensive two-level deck designed by a local architect. This deck included an upper-level Trex deck with curved railing and a covered lower deck with large timbers and roof.

Response from SPENCER L MEIDER
I'VE BEEN A CONTRACTOR FOR 44 YEARS. I'M THE ONLY 7 STAR CONTRACTOR IN U.S. BY BIGGEST LEAD SOURCE ON THE INTERNET. THIS JOB WAS A TRUE CHALLENGE AS NEITHER THE ARCHITECT NOR MYSELF HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE ANYTHING SIMILAR IN SCOPE. DUE TO ADVERSE SOIL CONDITIONS, RIDICULOUSLY SMALL STAGING AREA, SITE TOPOGRAPHY (LARGE DECK WAS BUILT OVER A STEEP RAVINE), INTENSIVE LABOR COSTS FOR DETAILS OF DESIGN, VERY POOR CONDITIONS FOR MATERIAL HANDLING, INCREASES IN MATERIALS COSTS SINCE ESTIMATE DATE AND HORRENDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS BEYOND THE NORM, THE UNFORESEEN ITEMS COMBINED WITH INCREASED MATERIALS COSTS SOON TOTALED +/- $23,758.48. WE HAD TO BUILD A TEMPORARY EXTENSION TO GARAGE AND HEAT IT IN ORDER TO FABRICATE AND STAIN THE MATERIALS. PROGRESS WAS SLOW BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE AND MY CRAFTSMEN WERE INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE IF THEY COULDN'T BE PRODUCTIVE RESULTING IN MANY SHORT WORK WEEKS. I WAS ON SITE WHEN NEEDED TO BE AND IN CONSTANT PHONE CONTACTED WITH THE CREW. WHEN PROJECT STARTED TO GO OVER SHE STARTED TALKING ABOUT LAWYERS SO WE PULLED OFF. HER HUSBAND CALLED AND ASKED ME POLITELY TO FINISH PROJECT. I AGREED TO ON A TIME AND MATERIALS BASIS GREATLY LOWERING MY PROFIT MARGIN. WE DID A FABULOUS JOB AND DO NOT DESERVE THIS MALICIOUS ATTACK BY HER. IT IS NOT RIGHT TO PRINT UNRESEARCHED VERBIAGE THAT COULD RUIN THE FUTURE OF HONEST PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES. I WAS TAUGHT THAT IF YOU HAD SOMETHING TO SAY TO SOMEONE TO SAY IT TO THEIR FACE - NOT BEHIND THEIR BACK!
