Sigura Construction Inc

Description of Work: Sigure painted the interior of the house. Instead of two and a half weeks it took three months. the faux painted I requested was done in the incorrect style, the trim and cabinetry as well as the doors were primed with the incorrect primer (water base over oil), there were multiple face plates which were not replaced after painting, cabinet door handles missing, poor edge work. All around a poor job.

Description of Work: There were communication issues from the start. I requested an estimate on-line to repair some siding that had deteriorated from moisture. They did not respond so I called and made an appointment. The estimator called me back later and we agreed on a different date and time to meet his needs. It was a no show. I called and was told I had the date wrong. We set another date. The estimator was running late. He was not sure what material he would be using in the estimate and insured that he would get back to me. I told him that it was important to me that the replacement siding be to the current and improved standard (not the fiberboard material that was popular 20 years ago). I received the estimate a few days later and called to back to meet with him and review the contract. Even though the estimate was (very) high for the small repair, I figured that it was be a no hassle event since they are diamond certified. I gave him a deposit and waited and waited. I called and they sent another person out to see what materials were needed. Again I waited. I asked for more information on the progress of my repair and for more information on the material that they wanted to use. One of their folks dropped off a sample. I asked what it was made of since I did not want to repeat the repair if an inferior siding material was being used (particle/fiber board). The reply I got was that it was the best stuff currently available. I did not get a description of what the siding was made of. I went to the supplier myself and got a copy of the spec sheet. By now I was truly not satisfied and called to cancel. The owner of the company wanted to work out the terms of the contract and agreed to refund our money; which I received in short order. |The explanation that I got for the communications issues and lack of response was that they were having some staffing problems/shortages.

Description of Work: The contractor coordinated with insurance company the cost to do the repairs to the house. This task was on going since, as more portions of the house was uncovered or removed, more damage was found. This new area of damage that was uncovered needed to be determined as to be caused by the car hitting my house. Also the cost to repair had to be agreed to by insurance company and my contractor. The contractor went to the city of Redwood City and obtained the permit needed to do repairs to my house. The contractor installed a temporary Chain Link Fence around the front of my property while repairs to the house was being done. The contractor had temporary power unit with portable toilet located to the front of the house and power was transferred from the house to the temporary power unit. At the completion of repairs, he had power transferred back to the house. On August 5, 2013, the scope of work on the house at that time between Sigura and the insurance company was in agreement in terms of items needed to repair the house and agreed on the cost of all the items except for two. A contract was made between Sigura and me for the items insurance company and Sigura agreed upon. This was for about $53K. The remainder of the work was done by change orders. Subcontractor PW Stevens removed the damaged exterior walls, the drywall inside the house in the same area, and sanded the floor because there was lead from the paint on the outside wall and asbestos in the drywall seams and the floor finish. The contractor installed plastic over the exposed wall framing to keep the house from the elements. He had to repair the plastic a few times since the house was in this state for about four months. There was discussion as to damage to the foundation, the hardwood floor, and damage to the Kitchen and hallway. After some discussion between contractor, insurance company and myself, there was agreement to removal of the hardwood floor in the Dining Room since the contractor showed floor was to thin after the sanding.. With the hardwood floor removed, there was damage to the sub floor. The insurance company allowed removal of the sub floor.. With further inspection, there was foundation damage, and the floor needed to be leveled before rebuilding of the house could begin. With the leveling of the floor and the repair of the foundation, temporary bracing the roof was done so the damaged wall framing and sub floor under the framing could be removed. New sub floor was installed and new wall framing installed in the damaged area. The roof was moved a little over an inch from the accident but was moved back to position as part of this installation. The two new walls had a window replaced on each wall. The north wall had a window replaced with a circuit breaker panel re-installed as part of its wall. The contractor did an excellent job of matching the new exterior wood boards to the existing exterior wall. Also did an excellent job matching the molding around the windows to match the existing window molding. The contractor removed the knob and tube wiring which was the existing electrical wiring and replaced this with romex wiring. He also brought the house to code by adding additional outlets in the rooms. In the damaged area the walls were open (no drywall) and he install the wire and boxes. The rest of the house he had to make holes in the wall to pull-in new cables or pull the cables in from the bottom or crawl space under the floor. In the damaged wall and floor area, the contractor installed insulation before installing the sub floor and drywall. This house had a floor furnace. PG&E inspected the house and found the furnace was bad. I went out and received a bid for the installation of a new forced air heater. I was looking for a second bidder when I went and talked to Sigura. He provided his cost which was lower than the first bid and lowered his bid on the electrical work if I allowed him to do both jobs. At this time, I added some other items that needed to be done before the house was ready for a renter. These items were replace the toilet, install new laminate flooring and baseboards in the kitchen, and fix the foundation in the back of the house. The forced air heater was installed in the attic with vents in each room and the in-take vent with filter in the hallway. The gas line was ½ inch and needed to be changed to ¾ inch gas pipe. Further work was needed in this area since the existing pipe from the meter was bad, they had to change the gas line from the gas meter into the house to the furnace and connect the existing gas pipes to the gas stove and water heater. The contractor installed drywall in the dining room and portions of the living room and kitchen of the house, repaired damaged drywall in the rest of the house from the new wiring, repaired cracks from the accident and existing cracks. The contractor painted the interior of the house Kelly Moore Frost. The contractor painted the exterior of the house where he replaced the outside wall. He matched the color of the exterior of the house perfectly. The contractor installed a laminate floor in the kitchen, removed the hardwood floor in the living room and installed a new hardwood floor in the dining room and living room. The contractor installed a rug in the two bedrooms and hallway. It was very well done. The contractor removed the old dishwasher and replaced it with a new one. We tested the dishwasher and it operates as it should. The contractor removed and replaced the toilet with a new low flow toilet The contractor relocated the coax cable for internet from the hole in the wall to a outlet box in the wall. He also added two additional telephone outlets The contractor installed the blinds in each room. They looked good. The contractor removed the screen door and installed a security door in its place The contractor repaired the rear bedroom door which would not latch, The door opening had to be reduced so that the latch in the door would latch with the opening in the wall. He had to be careful to remove the molding as to not break or damage it. He did a good job Also there were large cracks in the dirt under the house. The contractor filled the cracks with sand to keep the movement of the ground to a minimum. The concrete sidewalk was uneven and caused a trip hazard. The contractor removed and replaced this section of sidewalk and eliminated this hazard. The contractor repaired two sections of the board fence around the front of the yard. A portion was a picket fence and a portion was a good neighbor fence. Except for being new you could not tell the new fence from the old fence.
