Menard&s Champaign IL/ treated lumber - Defective lumber
I have always shopped at Menard's. I had a new house built this year because I lost my home to a fire last year. I had a porch and a deck built with treated lumber from Menard's. I have spent thousands of dollars on building supplies this year at Menard's. The treated lumber for the porch and deck is curling, cupping, twisting, shrinking, warping and...

That said, I will tell you that from the onset of the construction of my Kline Brother...

I hired Jonathan Builders and regret the day I ever heard their name. They apparently already had numerous complaints against them with the State Contractors License Board when I hired them. I knew nothing about this. Yet their sales presentation was slick and professional. They even provided written references of "satisfied" customers including a...

My suggestion to anyone considering doing business with Tri-State Building Specialties Inc. or considering a Tri-State Sunroom is to fully review the warranties prior to purchasing. Apparently, Tri-State expects that "any" glass panel, permanent or otherwise needs to be removed by the homeowner and brought to Tri-state's center for repair. Given this, the...

Premier Steel Building totally ripped me off on my Steel Building. They were supposed to allow me when I could take delivery. They then had a shipper try to deliver the building without proper notifying me. I was not even in town. So, of course the shipper had to take the building back. They then tried it again. After which they charged me an additional...

My whole experience started about a month ago when my wife and I started looking in Bossier City for a home to purchase. We fell in love with a home that was unfortunately already spoken for. My wife was so in love with the floor plan that we decided to go right to the builder to have our own home built. Luckily, the floor plan we were looking for wa...

Read full complaint and 4 commentsInova Homes / GHBA - unfair contract
What I have been a victim of is the section in the GHBA Residential Construction Contract that in essence allows the builder to promise anything to get the 'commencement fee' check with no interest or concern of ever fulfilling any provision of the contract. The contract clearly states that the 'fee' is non-refundable under any circumstances. In short if...

This is Dorothy Foust's, my mom, home, and I am writing this with her consent. I am her son Dan.

I was contracted out by GI Construction in the winter of 08' I completed the job and have yet to collect my payment. When trying to collect I have been ignored and lied to about when I will be paid and constantly told he was "out of state". It is now the end of May 09' and I have finally decided enough is enough. GI Construction is a illegitimate Company and a group of con artists.

Uncle Howard's Barns is a company to stay away from. They promise that a building can be built in a little over a month. Ours was more like 6 months. They would show up, work a couple days, then leave. The employees would leave since they were not getting paid. I can't blame them. Howard would promise things would be delivered in two weeks. It was really...
