Radonis Design Build

Radonis started a project for us in Plymouth, Vermont in August 2015. We gave him a deposit of $20000. We started to question the cost ovreruns for the project. The agreed upon budget was $65000. The proeject is well over the $8000 mark at this time. He started the project in August 2015 witht he promise that the new addition would be weather tight by November 2015. As of today, April 9, 2016, it is no where near weather tight. As of today, there are electrical wires exposed to the elements from when Radonis started the demolition in 2015 (an electrical hazard), one entire side of the attic is completely exposed to the elements (with rain and animals going into the attic above the living space), the new garage floor is pitted due water damage from freezing over the winter (which he admitted three weeks ago) and there is water ingress through several openings as he has refused to install windows and doors. After we questioned him several times this week, he walked off the job. He sent an email stating the following: " I am also having some major problems with my phone. I am not a techy person but trying to work thru the problems. Steve" In addition we received another email: " Rick, To let you know I have de-mobilized from the project. This decision was made in reference to your demand,to not to order any more materials and to stop all work unless it was to install windows and doors. (This would be like putting the cart before the horse). It also was prompted by your admission of not having any more funds for this project. I need ready access to materials to keep things moving forward. I wanted to order the custom roofing that you requested as there is a lead time for this. I was unable to do that, creating a gap in the flow and continuation of work At this time I have De-Mobilized and have committed to other projects probably for about a month and a half. Hopefully,If you choose to, we can, in time, resume. This will give you the opportunity to reorganize and find resources. Best, Steve" After this email, he stated that he was leaving the country and would not be available: "Rick, I have ordered a new phone and it is being shipped. So my line of communication via phone will not be available until I get the new phone upon my return. I have also made arrangements to travel for a couple weeks out of the country and will be unavailable." First it was because he had other jobs, now it is that he is traveling out of the country. And pray tell, who has no access to phones anymore??? He never called once despite multiple pleas for an answer. He also was removing materials form the site all week before he sent this in order to prevent us from taking out a stay away order on him. In a panic, we drove to the house and found the place a mess. He also burned lots of good wood at the end of our driveway and left the mess. He removed a window in the existing house without approval, put a piece of plywood over the opening and did not insulate.
