I sent the photos on to the company, and spoke to them, just said to look at the pics before giving us a final price, also said I wasnt asking for anyone to come back and fix anything.[I didnt mention it but, the builders put a hole through a water pipe last time, and also left a dent in the doorway when they took the pole out, so I really didnt want them back]. I rang a couple of days later to see if we had an invoice yet, which was waiting on the final price for verandah, and they did say someone had come back to try and tidy the roofing up.[the builder would have been swearing about me im certain]. So Im not sure what theyve done but it does look better.Its also been painted, and looks better because of that too. And we got the final invoice and uncle arfur you were pretty spot on with your prediction, at being @10% reduction, as weve been given a credit of $500 off of the verandah!!

Naturally the choice is yours Mary, but I think the small discount offered is inadequate, to put it mildly. I would be at least doubling that insipid amount, because of the problems you had in not being kept informed, the damage they caused, the abundance and irregular spacing of posts (some in front of windows) and from memory one of your posts will be below ground level, and still no mention of the missing hips (returns) at each end. Good Luck Arfur Re: verandah not as planned.photos!what to do? update new ph 39Jan 25, 2012 9:39 pm Wow Mary23, After stumbling upon this thread, I was compelled to join the forum and add 2 cents… What an awful situation you have gotten in, What they have delivered is clearly not good enough IMO, I would definitely be getting them to re-do it, as per the plan that you signed off on, Flat ends on a verandah just look plain cheap, as they are much cheaper and easier to do, And a post at your front door - WTF seriously??? no where near good enough, You are being completely stitched here, don't except $500, get it done properly, I really feel for your situation, hope you end up happy with it in the end, Sometimes it is hard to know just how many little imperfections you should put up with, but that is just outrageous. regards dragit Hi, I'll be starting on my verandah repair soon - replace ledger, rafters, roofing iron, flashing etc. (fascia board already done). My question is about the timber ledger… 0 4252 1 3467 I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 16355 |
