His name was Bob White. The product is great and the work was great, but dealing with him was the biggest pain that I have ever lived with in my life and we have built 4 custom homes. An electrician referred him to us and said that he does a lot of Victorian remodel homes. He apparently does a lot of remodels in the historic section. What we needed to have done required a lot of craftsmanship and we have no complaint with that. We found out that we were paying him twice what we would have had to pay anyone else. We went out and priced it later. He's full of himself. We got into battles with him at the end because he didn't think he had to paint it since it was white. It was white but he got it dirty putting it up and he needed to cover the nail holes. It was in the contract and he was trying to get out of it and stuff like that. His painter got paint all over our screens so it was not a good experience at all. He had a subcontractor doing the work and the subcontractor said he wasn't paying him near that much. We argued about how he was cutting out the windows because it allowed too much moisture to get in. He was a very, very difficult individual. All of the contractors that we were using him knew him. He never gives you options and gives you the most complex and expensive solution. We hardly saw him and he was always late. We would never use him again. He was argumentative on everything.
Description of Work: We used R G White Construction to redo all of the wood trim around the windows. We took all the wood out and used a new product called Aswood that looks like wood. It is a polyurethane and will never rot and never has to be washed. We have a lot of windows.

Response from R G WHITE CONSTRUCTION
Prior to starting the work, we discussed the various materials that could be used to repair the exterior windows as the windows had rotten because of prior poor materials and workmanship. The homeowner elected to use a PVC material called Azek and stainless steel nails. In other areas, we used copper flashing. The homeowner was aware of the expense of these materials before the contract was signed. We did everything agreed upon at the agreed upon price. We do not recall any battles and felt we had a cordial working relationship. We were never informed that there was paint on the screens but would have been happy to resolve the matter if it had been brought to our attention. The homeowner said she asked the subcontractor how much he was getting paid. This speaks volumes about the homeowner, going behind the contractor's back and wanting to know what people were getting paid. We were on the site every day and did not have an appointed time to be there to be late for. We have no recollection of any arguments with the homeowner. The contract was performed exactly as contracted and in a timely manner.
