  Vinyl Siding, Reframing, and Windows

  $20,000

  I hired T and S Contractors LLC to start a vinyl siding job in October 2020. Needless to say I am completely unsatisfied with the workmanship, professionalism, and overall experience with T and S Contractors and its owner. The siding job was completed December 21,2021 and the incomplete window job is still unfinished. Vinyl siding jobs for a one story ranch should take no more than two weeks. Granted there were extra tasks that popped up during the siding job(framing, replacing plywood,replacing 5 windows, front door install), the job should not have taken nearly 3 months. From the start of the job to the unfinished end, I have continually been stressed and frustrated. During the process of reframing the back of the house, I had to ask three times why rotted wood was being sistered up with new wood. It was finally completed the right way after I “Annoyed” them. Every day I had to inspect everything that was being done because there were so many shortcuts taken. For example, the fanfold insulation that was being installed did not have even seams and was not taped until I made it an issue. Some parts of the insulation looked like a kid’s jigsaw puzzle. A triangle here a square there does not make for high efficiency insulation. The vinyl trim around the windows was poor quality and not even white, not to mention it is all face nailed which is incorrect. I was told it is like how the white on a Nissan is different than the white on a Ford….I did not find that joke funny. I had to redo numerous jobs that were completed on the interior of the house as well. I had to re-caulk and re-spackle over things that were “ready to paint.” I had to install trim after telling him numerous times you could not reinstall the old trim cause it would be too short. He insisted on installing the short old trim and then completed the remaining space with a random piece of mdx trim that looked nothing like the trim. He wrapped the old windows with pvc aluminum trim prior to installing the new ones. So now there is a huge ¾ inch space between the window and trim, not to mention the trim is pitched back towards the window(WRONG)!!! When I asked what the plan was to fix that issue, He said, “Oh we can throw a bead of caulk in there.” When it comes to windows and siding….the less silicone you have to use the better. However, caulk and silicone was his answer to every problem. For example, the J channel was cut wrong he caulked it; instead of putting boxes and J channels around open areas he caulked it; even the areas that needed caulk were not caulked correctly. The job site was and still is a mess. My landscaping is destroyed and there is a ton of debris everywhere. The topper was when he took out 4 old windows and threw them on my front lawn. I said you can not leave that there. He assured me he would be back tomorrow and would clean it up. I have not seen him since! If you enjoy disappointment and poor workmanship T and S Contractors LLC is the company for you. However, do yourself a favor, spend a few extra dollars and hire a reliable, reputable, and professional company. I finally did and they are correcting all the mistakes.
