Description of Work: I HAVE BEEN USING JOHN BREITIGAM HOME IMPROVEMENTS FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE REFERRED HIM TO MANY OTHER FRIENDS AND FAMILY- I WILL STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THEM TO POST ON ANGIE'S LIST. THE COMMENTS LEFT BY THE PERSON WRITING ABOUT THE WORK PERFORMED FOR THE ELDERLY LADY ARE SLANDEROUS AT BEST AND THE SOURCE NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED. ERIC'S SOLE PURPOSE IN BEFRIENDING THE ELDERLY LADY WAS TO GAIN POSSESSION OF THE HISTORICAL MANSION- WHICH ODDLY ENOUGH HE NOW HAS. THE WORK PERFORMED ON THE MANSION PASSED ALL INSPECTION- FINAL PAYMENT FROM THE BANK WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RELEASED OTHERWISE. JOHN BREITIGAM HOME IMPROVEMENTS IS ONE OF THE MOST PROFESSIONAL, HONEST AND SYSTEMATIC HOME IMPROVEMENT COMPANIES I HAVE DEALT WITH. I GIVE THEM A+.

Description of Work: They were hired to repair a rear porch for an elderly friend who needed to fix the porch or remove it due to the bank loan she had. I advised her to remove it but she refused and contact this contractor. He gave her a blind bid, one with closed end price of "not to exceed". I advised against it again but she signed and the work was started. The owner was not present most days as he was applying for a CDL so he could make money driving a truck? So his brother was there most of the time. They started in fall but didn't complete until spring of following year. Engineer came by and they had to correct some problems. One was the rotted ends of roof cornice. Instead of replacing they applied metal over the rotted area-it was approved!? They were to patch the roof and fix the drainage issues. However the roof started leaking within a few months and the soffit they "repaired" is rotting and falling down. The woman passed away last fall and I contacted owner about the poor quality as I am responsible for the estate and wanted a more complete break-down of labor costs. He got very angry refused to comply with an exact bill. I asked him to come and look at the job and he told me no and that he did what he was contracted to do and that it was over a year ago anyway. I mentioned having the estate's attorney look into it and he said, " ...go ahead, my house is being foreclosed and..."
