Dad's Construction

Upside Overall quality of work was decent DOWNSIDES In my opinion Mr. Searcy brought a lot of emotional baggage to the job. All too often, when things did not go right, he would burst into a verbally abusive rage with language that would embarrass a sailor. This language included racial slurs. He would spend an inordinate amount of time either at the dentist or hospital for various illnesses. This left the work to his assistant. Further Mr. Searcy ignored his own contract and performed work without making quotes. Additionally he delivered the project two months late! After work completion he made demand for the extra work that had not been authorized, then threatened a lien on our property. We then tried to negotiate the amount due. His response was to claim to have instituted a lien, demand the lien fee and engage in an email exchange containing language similar to his previous verbal outbursts. In the process of honoring the terms of the contract we sent that "lien fee" ($600) after he refused our initial attempts to pay in full. Shortly after this lien payment we discovered that the county never received a submission from the contractor. In essence we were defrauded. Case is currently pending. Mr. Searcy claims to have retired (convenient). If he ever goes back into business STAY AWAY!
