 + 2 moreThe 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.
Description of Work: Pour concrete slab which connected to existing driveway and erect 25' x 40' metal building.

Description of Work: Tom does not know how to correctly bid a job and then does not know how to actually do the work. Our experience with him seems to be the norm. He bids a job to get it and then comes up with reasons he needs more money. In our case we were asked to front a larger percentage down so he could get his equipment re-built. Then after a month delay on starting the job, he worked a week and then asked for an early advance because he was going on vacation and needed the money...... I did not get a vacation last year while he was "working" on my property..... Then after several equipment break downs and only working from about 9:00 a..m- 4:30p.m. the job ran out of money and was not even half done. I gave him a chance to re-bid the job to completion with the understanding that IF I accepted the new number there would be no more money coming.... Of course, he worked through that money and my job STILL was not complete. After he damaged my new trailer, BobCat and attachements and asking for still more money, I fired him. On his way out, he damaged much of the work he had done by rutting it up with his equipment. After several weeks this piece of work kept insisting that I owed him $40,000.00+ and that he was going to file a lein on my property.....well that is EXACTLY what has happened. He has filed a lein on my property because he could not correctly bid a job, and when given the opportunity to re-bid it to completion could not do that either and now because he only worked part-time and did not complete ONE THING as requested (house pad is undersized, barn pad is under sized, the driveway is 50% wider that requested and the pond is not finished).... Tom is a nice guy, talks a good game but save your money and RUN away!!!!! He promised the work to be complete in 4-6 weeks but after FIVE monhs it was still not done!!!!!
