+ -1 moreIt was a disaster from which we have never recovered. Kearney did things like use finishing nails to attach calpboard siding: it rotted and fell off. Kearney put the insulation Typar lining on the wrong way round, did not back-prime any of the wood on the exterior of the house, and built roofs that had 2 foot rollbacks. Withing a year and a half of his constuction work our exterior walls rotted and fell off, the roofs fell in and the windows rotted. We have reports from engineers from Chubb Insurance, the State building inspector and independent building engineers which state that they have never seen such a mess. Kearney has no building skills whatsoever and is a fraud. We have spent $1,387,000 tearing down, correcting and re-building his work. He is a disaster and has no building schools. AVOID THIS CONTRACTOR WHATEVER YOU DO...
Description of Work: Kearney came to us with extensive credentials to build a north and south wing on our home in Sharon. The north extension was a screen porch and family room. The south extension was a two storey library, indoor swimming pool and wrap around mezzanine. We paid Kearney $620,000 beforw we fired him. We discovered that Kearney's credentials were fraudulent. Even his state registration and license were fraudulent forgeries. He had only ever built a shed and a garage prior to presenting extensive FALSE recommendations and making claims that he was an expert builder. Most of what Kearny built has had to be torn down. We have spent $1,387,000 correcting his mistakes: the roofs he built fell in, the windows rotted out, the wood exteriors rotted, and the poolroom still floods over half the year. Kearney has no builder skills whatsover and is a fraud. He was arrested in 2006 for theft and fraud. The criminal charges were dropped because the police made mistakes in the warrant, not because there were questions regarding the evidence against Kearney. Since 2006 Kearney has been fired from several other building projects for the same kind of gross negligence, fraud and theft at our site. AVOID THIS CONTRACOR AND RUN LIKE H*** IF HE BIDS ON YOUR WORK.
