I reminded him of our agreement about being paid at closing about a week later and stated that the attorney had already submitted the closing docs to the buyer's mortgage company to review and they couldn't be changed. He agreed again and then things started to go south. When the attorney called to verify the amounts that had already been paid and the remaining balance to be paid, he stated different amounts that what he and I had agreed to. This was the first time that the closing was almost postponed by Adam Contracting's Owner. I expressed my frustration to him verbally and instructed him to call the attorney's office in the morning to state the correct amounts and keep closing on track. Instead of talking to them, he instead sent a very tersely worded email threatening to place a mechanic's lien on the property (bear in mind this is still prior to closing and he had agreed to be paid at closing twice). This again sent the closing into a spiral as there was a threat of a unknown lien on the property by Adam Contracting. After a full days worth of phone calls with attorneys and the buyers mortgage company, we were able to sort everything despite the threat of a lien.
The night before closing my wife and I went to the property to vacuum the carpets, sweep floors, mow the lawn, etc. fo the new owners. I went into the bathroom shower to check that one of the mandated repairs was complete (the shower stem to be replaced) and the repair had not been completed, and this was 15 hours prior to closing. This was the third time that Adam Contracting had threatened this closing. After calling and emailing Adam Contracting multiple times and telling him the faucet was not functional I was told 'Feel free to go check it. I don't have to prove anything to you. It's been replaced and thats a fact! I will get money.' (an excerpt from his email)
I reminded him that as his paying client, he did have to prove it. An excerpt my response to that email 'I didn't bring this up at the last minute to **** with you. I brought it up because it's not working as you said it would. The quick and easy solution is to complete the repair and get it taken care of.... Trust me, I am more than ready to wash my hands of this and move on but I'm not able to because the work is not complete. And as your paying client, yes. Yes you do have to prove that you did the work. I'm sure if you were in my position that you would do the same.
The house finally closed and the attorney sent the check direct to him. An already stressful situation was made worse and his interactions almost killed this deal entirely. I have learned a few lessons during this time and I would suggest anyone who is interested in working with Adam Contracting to get everything in writing (whether implicit or explicitly expected) and make sure that you do a thorough inspection of all work completed. Based of my interactions with Adam Contracting, I would NEVER consider working with them again and will pass that advice on to whomever asks me.
Buyer Beware.
"To all my future clients: This review contains false information regarding the way that the actually situation turned out. Allow me to clear this up so that there is no confusion. Adam Contracting was hired to complete a variety of repairs to the home. The contract did not state that the final payment would be paid and closing nor was it discussed up front, however was discussed after we entered the contractual agreement and I informed the client that that would not be an issue. Once the job was complete I informed the client that we had finished and the item referenced in the review above related to the plumbing was a mis-understanding on the clients part. Our contract stated " supply and install a new replacement cartridge valve in the upstairs hall bath shower". Client must not have read the contract and thought that we where to replace the tub spout itself. This is why when the client went to the property that this line item was not yet completed, because that particular line item did not exist. I informed him that I did it myself so there was no confusion as to it being done or not. As soon as it was brought to my attention I went to the property immediately and replaced the tub spout at no cost to the client to avoid a hold up on closing, which once again had nothing to do with what we where hired to do nor was Adam Contracting legally obligated to assist in anyway with closing on time, our original scope of work was already completed, this was going to be a courtesy to our client which clearly went un appreciated. Our contract states " Balance will be due upon the completion of the work listed above". As for the payment goes, we where issued a deposit on the project which was to include a Credit Card convenience fee that is clearly stated in our contract and was know by the client because we have done work for him prior to this particular project. The delay did not come from the decline of Adam Contracting wanting to wait until closing for payment, it simply came from the fact that when we where contacted by the bank to inform them of the balance due at closing our number was not matching the number that the client gave them because he forgot to include the credit card fee that was yet to be applied from the initial deposit. Client noted " apply the fee to the final payment all together once completed and we said no problem. Obviously prior to client asking if we can wait until closing to be paid. However this could all have been avoided if the client did not contact me numerous times via email and phone call verbally assaulting me as well as belittling me with curse word after curse word. This is behavior that Adam Contracting does not and will not tolerate as a business or as an individual. We are a very reputable company as our reviews reflect. Unfortunately there are just some people out there that want something for nothing and intends on using Angie's List as leverage by threating a " Bad review". As you can see the client could not even refrain from cursing in the review it self, however Angie's List would not allow it so he replace the word of choice with ****! So we all can see what type of person we where dealing with. Please do not be like this person. We approach everything in a professional manner therefore expect the same respect from our clients. Thank you for you time and we look forward to working with all potential clients in the future!"
Great experience -- we'll definitely use Adam Contracting again in the future!
