Bulldog Metal & Construction

Overall, it was absolutely the most frustrating and unpleasant experience I have ever had with a contractor. They completed the work on 12/21/2009 and I promptly paid them the same day. The place where the work took place is not my permanant residence. A week or so later, I went to the house. I went into the attic on a sunny day and could see daylight coming through in a few places where it should not. I called them and asked them to come back and repair these holes. These things happen and I was not upset about this. They reluctantly came back out and patched the holes. But the main reason that I am submitting this report is this: After a week of heavy rains, I went back to the house and discovered that there was a major leak around the 8" wood stove chimney pipe. I went into the attic and checked it out. There were gaps between the rubber boot and pipe that I could put my fingers through. After further investigation, I discovered that they had cut the universal boot for a 10" pipe and tried to cover it up with silicone caulking. This did upset me! They knowingly tried to hide this from me! After more than two months of unsuccessfully trying to get the owner to make this right, I had to repair it myself. The owner was really rude and difficult to deal with - after he received payment. The owner repeatedly promised to fix this and never did. I have a string of emails dating back to 2/08/2010 supporting my claims. I hope that this report will of help to someone - DO NOT USE THIS CONTRACTOR!
