LAMBIE GEER HOMES

Description of Work: Lambie Geer built our home back in 1997. We were told that we had one year to make a list of the things that "weren't right" and they would return to fix them. I had a 3 page list for them to do and one of the things on the list was the caulking around the fireplace in the great room was already separating. Jim Lambie told us that that was a cosmetic thing and they didn't repair it. Through the years it only got worse to the point that the gaps were huge and we had to remake it ourselves. Come to find out, the only thing holding the wood trim on the fireplace was just caulk!! We had paid extra for the wall between the laundry room and the kitchen to be insulated. I came up here one evening when the house was being built and poked a screwdriver in the wall to make sure there was insulation. NOT. Had I not discovered this myself, they would have kept our money. There are many other things that were not done correctly due to lack of integrity in workmanship but the biggest grief we have is righ now. There are two bay windows in the front of the house with metal hoods over them. One of the bay windows started leaking about 5 years ago. We have had roofers, the original installers of the metal hoods, window people, a guy with an infra red camera to detect moisture, insurance adjusters and another guy that did a water test to find the leak. Nothing has fixed the problem. Then we got a postcard in the mail advertising Jim Lambie having gone to work for ReeceNichols real estate. The card said "let the one who built your home, sell it". So I decided to call Lambie Geer's office one more time. Jim's wife answered the phone and when I asked her if they would just tell me who I could call myself to get this fixed she got real quiet and then rather snotty. She said I would have to talk to her husband, Jim Lambie and to hold on. I was put on hold for several minutes and then my call went to voice mail. hmmm, So I left a detailed message for Jim. That was 3 weeks ago. At this point I don't expect him to return my call. I have since found another builder, through Angies List, that is determined to help us find the leak. He is a very nice guy. He has already been to out home and spent 2 hours looking it over and then presented us with his plan. He didn't charge a dime for his time. He even had a roofer come out to inspect our roof to make sure the problem didn't start there. We are hopefully optimistic. I will let you know.
