Water damage, incompetence, waste of money. Don’t let Solid State onto your property.
I contracted with Solid State to redo my siding and replace the decking and rails on my cantilevered balcony in the fall of 2019. It was a roughly $50K job. Everything looked good at first, though I have to say that Jeff Brooks was a pain to deal with. For example, when his crew gouged my brand new hardwood floors in two locations, Jeff agreed to have a flooring contractor fix the first gouge, but only paid half as much for the 2nd gouge (which I discovered only after fixing the 1st one).
Solid State’s shoddy work only became apparent to me about a year later, when, in December 2020, I saw water stains on my ceiling, right below the where the joists of my balcony enter the interior of my house. More water damage in January of 2021 - this is when I contacted Solid State and asked them to take a look.
Jeff sent a whole series of people to my house over the course of about 2 years, first to do some work on the exterior of the house, which they thought would fix the water penetration; then to replace my balcony’s sliding door, at a cost to me of over $7,000. Jeff himself told me this would be the best course of action to fix the water penetration. It didn’t work. More work was done on the exterior, replacing some flashing - this didn’t help. Eventually, Jeff sent someone to cut open my interior wall and ceiling, to better understand the leak. This was incredibly disruptive, but whatever, I figured it was worth it to fix the problem. With the wall open, I took several videos of water penetrating the exterior of the house at the balcony joists, which I shared with Jeff. His crew eventually pulled up my balcony decking and redid some more flashing, thinking the problem was fixed. To be fair to them, they used a hose to test for water penetration, and none was evident from inside the house when I was looking through the open wall. So everyone thought it was fixed.
The crew came back to close up my wall and ceiling. These guys can’t do drywall to save their lives, it looked absolutely awful. I was redoing their crappy patch job when I noticed that in the heavy wind and rain of December 2022, I was still getting water penetration!
Jeff sent his guy over to my house again, who said he’d probably open up my window trim and take a look. He went silent for a while, but I was contacted by that person again in late Feb 2023, asking if I still had water leaking into the house.
I gave up working with these guys. They’re utterly incompetent and Jeff is terrible to work with. There was more than one frustrating discussion with him and his office about getting people over to my house. Jeff has claimed at various times that this leak has nothing to do with their work. So, what, it’s just coincidence that SSC did all this work on my balcony, siding, and door, and I get water penetration in heavy rain?!? When there was no water penetration at all for the prior 3 years that I owned this house? If this has nothing to do with their crappy work, why was he sending crews to my house to do these crappy “repairs”?
I have contracted with a local, reputable builder, at a cost of $10,000, to inspect everything and redo what needs to be redone. Which is more than just the siding and balcony - Solid State also screwed up when reinstalling my gutters (they didn’t flash properly, I have water leaking down the fascia in 2 spots). When Solid State installed that new sliding door, they used the wrong color exterior caulk, not to mention the wrong color exterior paint for touch ups. But that’s nothing compared to the water damage.
Jeff Brooks and Solid State Construction are a nightmare. They damaged my home and cost me over $17,000 in expense due to their general incompetence. Stay away.
