Brad Wimett; Clear Choice Home Improvement

Incomplete Window Installation and damage to my home

3rd of Jun, 2011 by mike4920

On 11/20/2010, I contracted with Brad Wimett to install new windows in my home for $4808. The contract included full installation of windows and a sliding patio door, removal and disposal of old windows, and a two year guarantee on installation.

1/22/11 Brad came to my home to install windows and door. Brad was unable to complete the job in one day, and informed me he would return the following day to complete the installation. I had to go out of town to visit a sick relative and paid him in full for the job.

Brad never returned to complete the work, and after inspecting the unfinished job I discovered numerous issues listed below:

Power in house was out (fuse was blown).
Screen door to slider missing.
Upstairs Right window cracked.
Upstairs interior molding chipped, mangled, and misaligned.
Picture window not properly installed (placed on rotten sill). Large gaps leaving access to outside (allowing bugs, wind, and precipitation to enter master bedroom). Large cracks in drywall under upstairs windows.
Upstairs window installation not completed (3). Upstairs windows not insulated or wrapped with exterior coil/trim.
Sliding door leaks and rain enters living room.
Old materials not fully removed or disposed of (scraps, shavings, and screws all over yard and deck; screens left for my disposal).
Exterior siding chipped and cracked.
Large gaps in downstairs interior molding.
Exterior windows and door not caulked.
Unknown damage to home from rain and moisture behind walls, entering through upstairs windows.

I have attempted to contact Brad via telephone and U.S. mail on numerous occasions to rectify the situation, however, he refuses to return my calls or compensate me appropriately.

I now have to hire another contractor to complete the window installation and to repair the damage caused by Brad Wimett.
