MORGAN CONTRACTORS

I hired an architect for plans AND to bid out the job. I had three bids and checked references. I went to the middle bidder - not the lowest and not the highest. Overall, the workers and the owner were friendly and would do anything I wanted. Yet, the workmanship was very poor. Demolition was first. They did not clean up well and actually invaded our living space with debris. We complained. They started to frame and had in the walls and floor when we had torrential rains for two days. For two days, we had major flooding on that new floor because the tarp was not correctly placed on top of the open room. They assured us it would dry out. Afterward, they started framing the top and did the windows. I found out later the windows were not according to code. The plumbing looks a mess, but was assured it works. There were many additional "trial and error" holes made in the beams to fit the plumbing pipes. We complained - sister beams were supposed to be placed along the whole side -instead a piece of lumber was placed next to the holes. I have holes throughout my drywall that they did not touch. We complained - they filled some. They took off siding on one side and then told me it was asbestos. I pulled them off the job so that I could get it properly removed. By this time, I was fed up with them, but it was also before Christmas and my entire house was exposed. I needed it to be closed up and felt that I did not have a choice. They did the siding in the dead of winter. Today, pieces of the siding are falling off and it is obviously crooked. They put siding where soffits are supposed to be and all of my windows are not sealed. Gutters were not tilted to drain the water. We complained one last time and had all the players at the table. We gave a list of things to repair by the end of the day. When we returned to the house only two things were done and they were not done properly. We could not take it any longer. We had an independent engineer come in to evaluate their work and he said we need to start from scratch because of the problems. Unfortunately, I have no money to do so. Save yourself the stress and headaches - seek someone else.
