Pete Zuidema Construction

Dishonest, sloppy work and argumentative/rude. Red oak floors installed despite the ask to match the existing white oak floors in the bedrooms. I only found out when the stain guy told me that they may not match because of this. The contractor had tried to tell me that they may not match because it was old wood vs. new wood and then told me the stain guy should have never told me that the wood was different. Nothing was covered (including the appliances, window treatments) even though they actually cut wood and drywall in the house when working and I had to do all of the cleanup. Rooms that were not being worked on were not closed off to prevent the mess in those rooms. New shower installed is not pitched correctly and puddles. When asked to correct, he quit the job after taking over 3 months to not complete a job quoted for 6 weeks. Ceiling repair in new kitchen was poor and he was unwilling to correct. Venting of new dryer through existing window venting instead of a direct route through side of house and he was unwilling to correct. Threshold in hallway bathroom and in one closet forgotten and when asked to correct he used brown quarter mold in the closet and a piece of metal in the bathroom instead of matching the wood floor thresholds in the rest of the threshold in all of the other rooms. When painting the existing cabinets, he did not paint the backs of the doors fully. That would have probably been ok if he didn't have sloppy paint mess carrying over from the front of the doors all over the backs. When asked to make corrections for work that I was not satisfied with he was defensive, argumentative and actually insulting. Did not refund an overpayment for the kitchen and laundry room even though the work was not completed. Did not pay the subcontractors for the work they did with the $30000 he did get paid out of the $40000 for the total job. This amount did not include the tiles, cabinets, fixtures, countertops. All of these things were paid out of pocket. I even paid him an extra $5000 when he asked for it specifically to pay his people.
