BTM Contracting

RJ promised me when this job was done I would be so happy with his work. Let me tell you my 15 yr. old grandson could have done a better job than BTM. I had a problem with rain water so a French drain (thank God I had someone else do this) was put in. I ask RJ to check for mold, all he did was pull a piece of paneling back & peek in only to tell me there was no mold. My first clue as to the kind of job this would be when completed. Siding was stapled on over old paneling & over this winter 2 pieces fell down only to see that no staples were even in those strips. He planned to put bamboo on the floor & I was very concerned that it would not hold up to hot/cold weather, traffic area, etc. He assured me it was durable & I would be pleased. He did not make sure cement floor was level, glue did not stick, bamboo popped up right were the major walking area was. After several unsuccessful tries I suggested indoor-outdoor carpet. I paid additional for carpet to be placed. Proper measurements were not done because carpet does not fit snug in front of 2 doors & original cement can be seen. A horrible job, to say the least. Doorbell was replaced & the original wires were cut so short my doorbell no longer works. My own personal supplies from my garaged were used & nothing was deducted from my bill. He left the outside of two windows, that he replaced, unfinished. I will now have to have someone else finish that job, try to fix the door bell, put something on the edge of the rug so it does not fray. He also replaced to 2 front windows & neither one will close tight enough so they can be locked. I paid for 2 entrance doors (1 to garage 1 to basement) & he hung the new doors on the old frame. I now have 2 door frames standing in my garage. You may wonder why I haven't had him back. If anyone out there decides to hire BTM contracting you will find his contract is very generic, he said he had a lifetime warranty but you will not get any copies for your files it is only his "so-called word." You get no pricing for windows/doors etc., no matter how many times I requested copies. He is more worried about the customer knowing what discount he gets. I was a recent widow & my husband always did any work around our home. I had never dealt with a contractor before. RJ was just getting started in this area & the father of several young children. I felt compassion for him & problems that he had told me he was going through. My mistake! I had coffee, donuts every morning & pizza several times for lunch, for RJ & his crew. I treated him like I would like someone to treat my sons. However, RJ is not a man of principles. He still owes me $200 but after many calls I can not get him to answer. BTM is now located at 5619 East Pleasant Valley Blvd in Tyrone Pa. My deceased husband always said, "anyone now-a-day can slap a sign on his truck & claim to be something he is not" no truer words were ever spoken regarding BTM Contracting.
