  More info

  Pendergraft Construction (PC) and I signed a contract on 3/7/24 for a porch and bedroom addition and new decking & steps at my lake house at ***************************************************************. Total contract amount is $75,865. To date I have paid all but the final payment due of $3793.25 due per contract after punch list, final accounting etc. I have credits due me of $4350 (PC numbers) for items mutually not done in the contract and PC has billed overage expenses for decking and railing allowance. I have over ordered material (21 boards of Trex decking plus 3 bundles of metal railing) still at my house estimated just over $1500. We have not come to an agreement as to overage on materials based on what I approved for the project. I have asked PC for 6 weeks to pick up the extra materials that he over ordered, address the punch list presented on June 8 and to provide a final accounting. He has not responded in the 6 weeks other than I owe him more money. I have stated in writing for six weeks that if he will present detail and documentation (after deducting the materials he over ordered), we will come to an agreement as to who owes who.I have printed copies of all communication between PC (****, the owner), invoices from PC and cancelled checks, as well as copies of the weekly requests I have sent last six weeks with no response other than to send more money. I have repeatedly ask to show detail of how I could owe more money. It is possible he owes me. He essentially walked away six weeks ago. I'm happy to share my copies if PC disputes any of my statements or representations about our communication..

  This Person owes us a substantial amount of money and is dealing with a property lien as well as pending civil litigation.

  This is not a complaint. This a false review from a customer who hasn't paid their bill!!!

  I am rejecting this response because:     There has been no accounting or billing presented to me requesting any additional payment that reflect credits for excess materials he left or credits he owes me per the contract.  I have attached the contract, the invoices and cancelled checks cashed promptly.  The final payment #5 is not due until AFTER the punch list which he hasn't addressed at all.  He over ordered materials (21 boards of  Trex composite decking and 3 bundles of metal railings) which are cleared valued in excess of $1500.  He left them on the job and billed me for them.  I am not responsible for materials he over ordered and left at the job based on his own measurements.   He offered me material (in print in a txt  on March 28 )that he over ordered from another job so this is not uncommon for him.  I attached correspondence where I have repeatedly asked for a full accounting of anything he thinks I owe.  It is just as likely that he owes me once he credits for materials he overordered and applies credits for work mutually agree that was not done in the contract.  
  
  Sincerely,

  With regard to  Mr Pendergrafts comment about me dealing with a lien and litigation, please ask him to provide any documentation supporting same.    There has been no final invoice period and no letters of any kind.  I have asked weekly for six weeks for a final accounting and proof of any material overage I might have (minus what he has over ordered and left at the project).

  8-6-2024  ************ called and spoke with Mr. *********************** He said he has sent the invoices and other documents that **************** has requested. He will not send them again.  The left over material is not permitted to be returned, they were special ordered. He is proceeding with legal action.

  He hasn't provided any documentation or final accounting as required by his contract.        He ordered the materials for the job.   He seems to have over ordered by about $1600 of expensive decking and left it laying at the house.   I am not required to pay for that.   He had a lawyer send me a letter and I replied asking HIM to provide documentation.  I offered him MY documentation and he responded the only documentation they want from me is a check.     Very odd situation.
