Licensed Siding Contractor
I hired a Licensed Siding Contractor to install ColorPlus siding on my home. The product carried a 50 product warranty and a 15 year finish warranty. The finish warranty, as a single women homeowner is what made me buy the product, it meant freedom from painting my home for at least 15 years. The finish (painted surface) is baked on at the factory, will not fade or peel and can not be matched by any on-site painter. The 10 day job went on for 3 months. I had 3 different crews all trying to correct the mistakes of the previous crew. Due to improper handling and installation, the end product was they scratched & mared the surf ace of the finish and it can not recieve a warranty. (the new siding looked like it needed a paint job) The crews used touch up paint with a roller to “cover” their damages to the siding. The end result is my entire home is a two toned blotched finish. I contacted the manufacture of the product and was told touch up paint was ONLY for nail heads and cut edge and if they had to use a roller the entire plank had to be replaced. The contractor refused. I opened an investigation with the manufacturer and it end result was the Contractor misapplied touch up paint and misused caulking on my entire job. The caulking is now bleeding through the touch up paint so now my entire house is two toned (flat and semi gloss touch up paint) with at least 80-100 1 inch white blotches that continue to bleed through the paint. So i looked 2 toned with white spots all over my home. Contractor is totally unaccountable and an ass. Finally claimed there was touch up issue and on the $16,000 job so he and his attorney generously agreed to refund me $1,333.00 so I can go buy paint and hire a painter ($7000 bid) to repaint my NEW siding! Contractor put mechanic lien on my house and hired a bully attorney who just served my summons. I am single mom, work 2 jobs and cant afford attorney. I need to reply t summons…any suggestions….sincerely I am in Hell! THanks, Blotched spotted homeowner.
