1. Nails per shingle will be 6. I was home on day 1 and listened to the roofers work. The person on the East Side was putting in only 5. Those on the West end varied between 4 and 5. I am not sure how much that matters but the expectation was set at 6. I will be reviewing this with the inspector for PNC. 2. Shingles and nails will be picked up, usually hourly. The place was a disaster. During day 1, nobody was walking around picking up anything. Even at the end of day 1, not everything was picked up. 3. Everything will be covered while roofing and shingles will be taken down in one or two spots. Shingles were falling from everywhere. Only part of my deck was covered. My pool was not covered and had shingles and asphalt lying on top of my good cover. My good tractor was covered with shingles and nails. 4. Layout of Downspouts ? We had discussions about adding a downspout by the front door. Apparently there was a misunderstanding that I was supposed to call Phil back about the addition. In any case I had a real concern on getting the gutters sloped better to get the water away from that transition. If I had not stopped at home that day and run into the installers, they would have never known about my concern. We also had to piece in one downspout because of access issues. 5. Communication ? We had no idea when anything was going to happen. We would get an email that we were scheduled for a date and then that date would come and nobody would show up and no email saying ARC would not be there. Then a few days or weeks later you get another email. It really became a standing joke in our house when the next email would come and how wrong it would be. 1. Fireplace Vent Cover Installed ? I have asked at least 5 times where the cover is at. Here I sit on 6/27 with no cover yet.
Other Issues
1. OSHA Inspection ? I am not at home and my wife is on the phone freaking out with the inspector at the front door.
2. Nails ? The nails never did get picked up. Even after the past meeting with Phil when we showed him the bucket the kids picked up off the driveway and front porch area; he promised to come and pick them up himself. We have picked up the nails best we could. We have had one flat tire on my wife?s car so far.
3. Siding ? The wrong color siding was ordered initially. When the siding finally arrived, 4 different colors of siding were delivered to my yard.
4. Siding ? After the siding finally got done, a piece of siding fell off the house and was lying on the ground. I have never heard of siding just falling off your house after installation. I will be bringing in another company to do an inspection on this work.
5. Air Conditioner ? Our air conditioner would not power up and run this summer. After spending hours tracking the signal and power out to the unit itself, I found that they removed the connection bar on the 208V box outside when they installed the siding. In addition, they broke the co-flex going to the unit so they tried to tape it back together and then cover it with a piece of siding so nobody would see it. The most unprofessional thing I have ever seen!!! The also cracked the shield on the primary line coming from the house to the unit distribution box.

We went with his recommendations and set another appointment and he was available to do the work within a week. The job was very labor-intensive and he finished everything ahead of schedule without us losing power for more than a couple minutes. He went the extra mile by even doing some touch up paint work to make the recessed lighting job complete. He did a super job of cleaning up and making sure we were completely satisfied with his work, which we where.

The appointment time was 9:30. I arrived at 9:25 and the man from Motto & Sons had already stopped at the house, knocked on the door, and left. I saw the truck heading down my street away from my house and had to flag it down to get him to return. I apologized if I had the wrong appointment time written down (I had not). He asked if I had any damage and I, one by one, I had to point out the various areas to look at. He made no initiative to check for damage himself, didn't even get on the roof until I pointed out that much of the damage (on the 2nd story) couldn't be see from the ground. When on the lower roof (he would only inspect the upper roof from the 1st story roof) he focused on the large hole and told me that the insurance company would only pay to patch the hole. He did not address the other smaller holes, about 2-4 inches in diameter that were completely through the roof deck and into the house interior. He did not even lift the cover we had placed down to cover the holes! He didn't inspect for water damage from water that came in through the holes. He did not inspect damage to the garage roof. After the looking at the roof for no more than 5 minutes he said he would take some measurements and get me an estimate. I went into the house to grab a piece of paper and pen and when I got back outside, he was gone. I have no idea why he made the appointment with me, it was clear from the start that he did not want to be there. He was rude and condescending throughout the entire "inspection". I had taken time off from work to run home and meet with him yet he treated me as though I were wasting his time. I now have a contractor who had done a thorough inspection and is working with my insurance company to get all repairs done fairly.

He then said he could repair it, but could not in all honesty say how long it would last. We knew the furnace was old, so we gave the go ahead to replace the furnace. The young man took his time and performed his installation like a doctor in surgery. When he was finished, we talked about how it was done, the warranty etc. There were no hidden repair fees, we received the bill for what we had agreed upon. He also took the old furnace with him, and cleaned up after himself, nothing was left behind. We received a card in the mail when our one year inspection was due. We set up a time and they promptly came out and did the inspection. Just a great team of people.

Worst contractor I have ever dealt with. First he is not a general contractor he is a handy man. He has no ability to pull permits. I asked him specifically if he was a gc and was insured. However, he is not a licensed gc. He is a handyman and in order to pull a contract he has to game the...

The inspection performed by Zach seemed "fair" at the time although not a lot of input was provided beyond the inspection report. A couple weeks into owning the home, the list of things the inspector missed has continued to grow. A lot of obvious things were missed. The frustration continues....

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Hortonville, WI
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.

The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation.

Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
