Pearl Construction & Design

"When Mr [Member Name Removed] hire us to do work on a home in [Member Information Removed] the home had already been worked on by other contractors who were unlicensed. Mr [Member Name Removed] disregarded the historic districts procedures and my advice and continued to alter the attic and roofline of the home without the proper district approvals. Prior to us beginning to work on the home Mr [Member Name Removed] requested I alter and or delete several clauses in our contract, reluctantly, I accommodated his request. Our contract was a clear cost plus % contract due to the incredibly vague scope of work description and multiple changes in the negotiation and planning phase. Mr [Member Name Removed] was provided with very detailed invoices, copies of every penny spent on materials, breakdown of hours worked per billable contractor, and the pre determined markup (outlined in the contract). Mr [Member Name Removed] and his father began to accuse some of our contractors and workers of stealing. In several occasions we had to prove Mr [Member Name Removed] and his father incorrect and show that their allegations where not only absurd but unacceptable. Since this behavior continued, we decided we would finish the portion of work we had begun and not continue to subject ourselves to this kind of environment. Lies, accusations and bounced payments are not an environment I am willing to subject myself, our company or our sub contractors. Glad I got out of that job when i did, my only regret is taking the job."
