P & P BUILDERS

Bob promised that he could do things that were outside of his competence area. He designed closets that were not functional. He claimed to have experience doing work that he really did not have. He really was a handyman that was claiming to be a general contractor, and while he was licensed, he lacked the experience needed to understand how to do the work properly. In the end, after paying for a newly tiled floor, after installation of the floor the floor had to be completely torn out and replaced because the floor was uneven, the tiles were laid at varying levels, and the grout needed to be replaced. This was because Bob had hired an unbonded tile person to do the work, and while supervised by Bob, Bob's eyesight is so bad that he couldn't see for himself, until pointed out to him, how bad the floor really was. For the re-texturing and re-painting of the walls in the house, the texturing was uneven with air bubbles throughout. And a primer coat was never applied so the white textured color was bleeding through the paint. Again, Bob could not see how bad it was, and when pointed out to him, all he could say is that it looked just fine to him and refused to resolve the problem. He also personally installed new window trim throughout the house that was full of blemishes and uneven in the corners where one side would be a quarter inch higher than the other, and the joints never came together in a clean line. Again, Bob claimed it looked just fine to him and didn't require any more work to fix. Bob is very good at saying that he can easily do things that we later learned he really lacked the skills to do himself, or he would hire subcontractors off the street to do the work at the lowest possible cost with little attention to quality. In the end, the Arizona Board of Contractors had to get involved. They inspected Bob's work and compiled a list of about 50 items that Bob was required by the state board to fix. His attempt to fix the problems was so bad, that in the end, the Judge (this matter went to court) ruled against him, and now we're waiting to get the funds released from the state recovery fund, to hire another contractor that will be more reputable and competent than Bob, to fix the many problems he created.
