Comments (11)I am not an attorney but this is advice that was given to me by a paralegal friend over 20 years ago and has helped me a few times without going to court. Write a letter stating all the facts in your case. Write it assuming that these are facts you would present in court before a judge (small claims). Request your remedy and state a date (usually a month's time) which you wish them to comply, or you will take further legal action. I have used this three times and all three I have received satisfaction without legal action. It sounds like the contractor wanted to fix the mistake but then got overwhelmed when he started seeing the bill. Maybe seeing your case in writing will give him the opportunity to re-think, or at least open lines of communication to find a satisfactory solution for everyone. Regarding the stove, I think if they can replace the door, that should be sufficient remedy. I bought a $2,100 Firemagic barbeque grill that had to be installed by a pro. The company I bought it from used an independent contractor for the install. The installer sold me a cleaner that, when used, scratched the mirrored finish. I was very upset because it ruined the look. I contacted the company and they were able to replace that piece and it looked brand new....See MoreFrench door
Comments (6)Both Thermatru and ProVia have what you are looking for. Provia is a top tier product that usually comes with a top tier price. Thermatru is a very good product and is generally a nice "bang for the buck" option. It really depends on what you are looking for. I've had good success with both....See MoreBuilder messed up foyer/entry, do we fix?
Comments (49)Just wanted to post a little update! We have had the entryway fixed! We used Matt Nelson with Nelson Builders and my husband worked alongside Matt. We decided to bump the entire entry out 3 1/2 feet. We saved a lot of money having my husband do a lot of the work and it ended up not being too expensive. It has made a HUGE difference! Even from the front of the house, you can actually see the front door now (before it went way in). Our original builder never got back with me (Miller Construction) and actually when I wrote a review of our experience with them, he threatened me with a lawyer, said he was asking Houzz to remove the review, and when they wouldn't, he deleted his entire Houzz profile and put up a new one. For the record, my review (2 stars) was actually fair and there was nothing derogatory or offensive. It just wasn't a super positive experience. But, thankfully we got the entry fixed and it looks great now :) Pics are attached (we will be adding a coat rack above the bench!)...See MoreBest Floor for a Laundry Room?
