Ricky Yawn Contracting

Description of Work: Provided new roof on my home.

Description of Work: BAD, BAD, BAD!!! Rick was supposed to be my friend when he started this. I guess not... First of all, he failed to tell me in the beginning that he didnt know how to do siding and that his friend was going to do most of it until he taught him how to side houses. He started this job about a week before Thanksgiving and didnt finish until the middle of May. He left my home exposed to snow, ice, rain, and the bitter cold weather for weeks. We kept calling and calling and asking when they were going to be back out to work on it again and he said his men wouldnt work when it was below 30 degrees... Which there were weeks when they wouldnt show up when it was well above 30 degrees outside. So finally in the spring his friend tought him how to do siding. But there were also weeks when he wouldnt show up too. When he was finished ripping off my old siding he burned it in my firepit illegally and didnt clean it out.. He also threw some of it in my dumpster leaving us no room to throw our garbage in there. Which it is also illegal to throw that kind of stuff in the garbage. There were also nails all over the yard that he left and my daughter likes to go outside without her shoes on and so do I. We almost stepped on a few nails and my husband had to clean it up. He also had to help clean up the old siding and pick up insulation that blew all over the neighbors land. Also when he started to put the insulation up your supposed to tape the seams.. He did not do that. If you dont do that it has a good chance of falling off in the winter. Also when he started the siding he left a gap between my foundation and siding which let the cold air in my house which froze my pipes at least 3 times. Luckely they didnt burst though. He also made my husband put foam insulation between the siding and foundation because he said "it wasnt his fault or his job to do that." Your supposed to put a siding skirt at least 2-3 inches below the siding so this stuff doesnt happen. Well now that the siding and facia and soffit are done it is falling off. There are spots where it is litteraly falling off. Also he put on some of the siding too tight which is not good because it needs to be able to move around in the winter. If not then it can crack and fall apart. We dont know if it will make it through the winter this year. I still owe him money and he is sueing me for it because he insists that he did a good job when I told him all the problems I had. He said none of the problems were his fault and he didnt work because he wanted to have "quality time" with his son. I would NOT recommend him to ANYONE! I wouldnt even recommend him to my worst enemy.
