Powers Construction Group, Inc.

We are in on-going litigation with Powers Construction Group since 9-08. The builders initiated the litigation for final payment before the home passed final city inspection or closed escrow. Escrow closing was the last and final payout by the bank. We disagree with the builders on the quality of the work and the financial management of the project. We are currently pricing out new windows and doors to replace the mold and water damaged windows and doors that cost approximately $60,000.00 (plus installation) through Pella but installed with Powers' subcontractors. We are currently pricing patio repair to fix the $40,000 bluestone patio that leaks into the basement and first floor, excessive sinking/shifting of approximately 1500 sq. ft. of bluestone, and sinking/movement of the six foot high creta retaining wall that holds that bluestone patio in place. This was also installed with Powers' subcontractors. We have had experts in to determine why the attic has high levels of humidity and why our roof has excessive ice damming and icicles- also installed by Powers' subcontractors. We have rebuilt parts of both furnaces and one of the air conditioners. We've had the oven repaired, both dish washers repaired, the fridge repaired, and the washing machine repaired- now needing $1100 of further repair. All these were supplied by Powers' subcontractors. These are just a few of the problems we have with our home. We disagree with the builder on many of the aesthetic issues including straight walls, gaps underneath exterior doors, door jams not flush to the ground, uneven tile work, cracked limestone, leaking entry ceiling, mis-measured granite, etc. These problems are now minor compared to the extensive and expensive repair of some of the items listed above. All other issues cannot be discussed until the lawsuit has been finalized.
