adding on to our home

In the mid-80s, we decided to expand our bedroom, add 2 closets, and a master bath, in our Decatur, GA home. We checked out several contractors & decided on Metropolitan Home Improvement, office on Lavista Rd. We got the contract IN WRITING. Checked references, including an atlanta television sports newscaster they had done work on his house. They started and done everything shoddy. They made crooked walls. did not put the electric outlet between the closet doors centered. The bathroom window was put in crooked and propped up outside with a rock. We came home from work in March to find a hole in our existing bath’s window and it was so cold we couldn’t bathe. They punched a hole in our roof, and the list goes on. They wouldn’t fix a thing. I was carpooling and the children’s dad was a lawyer. He got the best of us too. We had a 5-day jury trial and still had to pay the geiser $12,500 (contract price) and I don’t remember the lawyer fee, but I was paying him $l00 week till I told him we could pay him no more. Why is these rats and menaces to society allowed to continue.
