Forgive us, but today is a rant!
We are done! As Marilyn Milian of People’s Court fame says, “Stick a fork in me. I’m done” Well, we are done!
Patrick St. Pierre of Efficient Heating & Cooling Services contracted with us early December 2016 to
1. Remove broken basement floor and replace with 3” of new concrete.
Includes removal of all debris.
2. Repair Basement wall on right front of house.
Remove or secure wall and replace what is needed
3. Replace all plumbing drains and water supply with PVC and Pex.
Install 4’ main drain line from inside of building extended out the roof
Connect to 3.5 bathrooms, (1 Full) Basement, (1 half) First Floor, (1 Full) Second Floor, (1 Full) Third Floor Master
4. Install Radon system.
5. Install Radiant heating throughout house with new 2 Navien Combi boilers. 6 zones Basement, First Floor, Second Floor, Third Floor, Master bed and Bath, Guest room
6. Install 5 ton central AC for first and second floors and 1.5 ton ac for 3rd floor
We paid him over 84% of his total bill ahead of time and we are stuck having to pay others to do what he contracted to do. Not a single job has been completed.
He did remove a lot of the basement floor. He did remove the old radiators, but left the pipes sticking out of the floors.
We have one Navian heating system, instead of the two promised, installed for all rooms but the primary kitchen.
We do have AC for the third floor with a dripping condensation drain going into a vent pipe that is not supposed to be open plus condensation dripping from a ceiling ventilation duct.
We learned he was not a licensed plumber so plumbing installation was halted by the City Inspector; hence we have one small bathroom sink, a dripping tub, and one toilet.
That is about all he has done. To top it off he has not shown up for over three weeks nor returned our text for two weeks. So we are taking matters into our own hands and
(1) finding a licensed plumber to make our house functional.
(2) Another heating/AC company to finish the work he started.
(3) And, as you know, LM Masons to repair our basement.
Lesson learned! Don’t trust someone over the Internet. Though, apparently he has neglected to perform work in a timely manner for people that live here too. Sigh… it is such a shame. He is a caring father who has very poor work ethics.
Done ranting! Tomorrow back to our adventures at Tranquility Cottage…
