Business ProfileforNorth Georgia Builders

On 5/18/22, we received estimate 22-229-1 from ***********************, owner of North Georgia Builders, for $34,333 to build a screen porch and replace a deck. Our final signed estimate (22-229-3) on 6/5 for $39,526 included an additional project quoted at $1,423: "Shim and repair sunken bottom track at (3) sliding glass doors." **************** assessed both projects in person. (Estimate 22-229-2 included replacing the doors, but we asked for a quote to repair them.) On 6/26, NGB finished the porch and deck. We couldn't have been happier with the work and his crew. The experience was ideal. On 6/27, we texted **************** a punch list of minor items. He texted he'd finish them next week when his crew will need to be inside to work on the sliding glass doors. That didnt happen, partly because my child got Covid. On 7/17, I texted again and asked when NGB would be coming. **************** texted later this week. That Thursday, he texted middle of next week. He never came. On 8/25, he texted an invoice asking us to pay the remaining $4,037 on the contract. I explained I was uncomfortable paying because there was outstanding work. He countered that the contract required us to pay, which we did on 8/28. Finally, on 9/21, **************** came himself to complete the punch list items and the doors. He was at our home for 2.5 hours. He explained that day that the wood under two of the doors was rotted and, to repair them, the doors would need to be removed. He shimmed and glued them. He said he'd come back the next day to complete the punch list. Within the hour of him leaving, I sent him two photos: one of the glued door that had unglued and one that he "fixed" but now wouldn't close. We never heard back from him. My husband and I both texted him, requesting one of two things, 1. Finish the work he quoted and we paid for ("Shim and repair sunken bottom track at (3) sliding glass doors"), or 2. Return the $1423 minus whatever supplies he used to "repair" the doors. He refuses.
