Complaint Review: LEE FESSLER CONTRACTING

MR. FESSLER WAS CONTRACTED TO BUILD OUR HOME IN OCTOBER 0F 2002. AS OF THIS DATE THE HOUSE WAS LEFT 50% COMPLETE (1 1/2 YEARS LATER). HE REFUSES TO SHOW UP TO COMPLETE THE HOME SINCE WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUISNESS BEUREAU OF PA. WE HAD TO COME UP WITH $30,000.00 + TO MAKE THE HOME LIVEABLE,NOT COMPLETE JUST LIVABLE.

AS OF 3/16/04 WE ARE STILL NOT IN THE HOME.WE WORK ON THIS HOME EVERYNIGHT AND EVERY WEEKEND JUST TO TRY TO FINISH.MR. FESSLER HAS VERY POOR COMMUNICATION SKILLS AS WELL AS POOR WORK ETHICS.HIS IDEA OF A FULL DAY IS 10 - 2.THE DRYWALL LOOKS HORRIBLE. THE WIRING WAS THAT SCREWED UP IT TOOK MONTHS TO REDO. EVERY WINDOW FRAME HAD TO BE CUSTOM MADE BECAUSE HE INDSTALLED THEM WRONG. WE HAD TO FINISH EVERYTHING, DOORS, MOLDINGS, SOME FLOORING, SOME SIDING, WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, RAILINGS, STONE WORK, GARAGE DOORS, GARAGE FLOOR, ALL WIRING, LIGHTS AND RECEPTACLES. HE BASICALLY TOOK MY MONEY AND I ONLY GOT HALF OF WHAT I PAYED FOR. WE THE HOUSE PLANS AND A LIST OF WHAT WE WANTED.

HE TOOK 2 MONTHS TO QUOTE. WE AGREED ON THE PRICE AND SIGNED A CONTRACT.SO MUCH FOR THAT.THE BEST PART WAS I HAD TO MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE I WAS IN BECAUSE WE SOLD IT AND MR. FESSLER TOLD US WE WOULD BE IN BY JUNE 2003.I RECEIVED HIS PERMISSION TO STORE MY BELONGINGS IN THE BASEMENT.HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE IT SECURE.THE FIRST RAIN FLOODED THE BASEMENT BECAUSE HE NEVER SEALED THE DOOR.I HAD TO REMOVE DOOR AND REDO.WE CONTACTED HIS INSURANCE COMPANY AND HE LIED TO THEM AND SAID THAT HE NEVR GAVE US PERMISSION.HE THREATENS TO SUE US FOR SLANDER AND HARASSMENT BECAUSE WE CALL HIM. THEN HE TELLS MY WIFE WE DON'T COMMUNICATE WITH HIM ENOUGH.

WE CALL HIM WITH HIS PERMISSION ("ANY TIME") AND HE NEVER RETURNS OUR CALLS UNLESS WE THREATEN HIM.THIS PROJECT ALMOST COST ME MY MARRIAGE.HE HAS VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP SKILLS AND THE QUALITY OF WORK IS HORRIBLE.HE WAS FIRED FROM OUR LOCAL LOWES BECAUSE THEY HAD THAT MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT HIM THEY COULDN'T KEEP UP. AS ONE LOWES PERSON SAID "HE IS NOT A GOOD BET FOR A CONTRACTOR."

FURTHER ACTION IS BEING TAKEN. I WILL NEVER LET THIS REST, I WILL PURSUE THIS UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED. HE CONSTANTLY INVOLVES HIS PERSONAL LIFE WITH HIS BUSINESS,BUT I CONTRACTED LEE FESSLER CONTRACTING TO BUILD ME A HOME AND 1 1/2 YEARS LATER HE WALKS OFF THE JOB WITH IT 50% COMPLETE.THE TERM BUYER BEWARE MUCT HAVE CAME FROM DEALINGS WITH LEE FESSLER CONTRACTING OF SCHUYLKILL HAVEN,PA.

PLEASE CALL ME OR E MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.UNTIL THEN I'LL BE WORKING ON MY HOUSE SO MY NEW WIFE AND I HAVE A PLACE TO SLEEP. CALL HIM AND COMPLAIN.SPREAD THE WORD,THE MORE PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT HIM THE MORE HIS REPUTATION WILL PRECEED HIM AND IN TURN THE LESS PEOPLE WILL GET HURT!!
