BARCLAY CONSTRUCTION

The owner, Thomas Barclay, had removed some dead trees for us and done a good job so we hired him to install our metal building. The construction he performed was nowhere near his performance at tree removal.

The workmanship was poor, example - when erecting the metal building they would use a torch to enlarge holes and not clean and repaint the metal before bolting it together. That is a poor quality, sloppy work which is a recipe for rust.

We found beer cans in the trash cans that were left by his crew, we discovered later they were using the lot next to ours as their toilet.

It took numerous request on my part before he produced the building permits he had agreed he would take care of getting. The work was nearly completed before I got the building permits and they were dated well after the work began. 

The final inspection revealed several deficiencies but he wanted final payment and said he would come back and correct everything to my satisfaction. I explained to him that I had no faith he intended to do so if I paid him as he had removed all his equipment and tools prior to our inspection and punch listing leaving nothing to correct the deficiencies with.

I told I wanted him to leave and not come back, I wanted to be done with him and his workers. He accepted a reduced final payment and signed of that he had been paid in full for the work.
