Todd Grehl Stonebrook Construction Todd's incompetence, incomplete work, and lack of skill has left the addition to my home a constant work in progress. Edinboro, Pennsylvania

Almost four years ago, Todd Grehl began construction on an adition to my home. I have had nothing but problems with the work he did complete, not to mention the work he never completed. (some of which was already paid for.)

Here are many of the things that were done incorrectly and/or were never completed. The first floor hardwood floors have huge gaps between the boards. Todd told me it was needed to allow the wood to expand and contract with the weather, but the upstairs floors do not have gaps like that, and i've had a few other builders tell me that they were done incorrectly. Some of the corners of the drywall do not have corner beading, causing separations in the joints in the corners of the walls.In many places, you can see where the dry wall was hung because the screw heads are raised above the paint.

There are several strips of drip edge that were never hung. Parts of the siding of the house do not overlap. The soffet and facia were folded incorrectly so that the water runs into the folds. He didn't put gutters on the new part of the house, which led to the basement drywall getting wet and moldy.

The plumbing in the basement was not done right, and as a result, when my septic tank backed up (not Todd's fault), many pipes came apart, and the sewage injector pump pipe failed because it was installed incorrectly and I had a ton more damage to my home as a result. (Todd's fault)



The railing on the front steps is not screwed into anything on the bottom. The steps in the basement, the front steps, and the side door steps have all fallen apart when someone was walking up/down them because they were built incorrectly. He never came back to grade the yard after he put in the leach bed, and I have a huge mound of dirt and rocks in my pasture that he never took care of. The furnace was not put in correctly, and I've had 2 years of problems with it because of the incorrect installation.

3 of the four racks in the closset that were installed have fallen down... I later came to find out they were screwed into the drywall and not the studs of the house. I was supposed to have airconditioning in the first floor new addition to the house, but all that Todd put in was one small vent that is inadequate for enough airflow to cool the room.

One of the sinks in the master bedroom does not drain properly because the fixtures doesn't work. As a result, one of the sinks overflowed, causing damage to the ceiling on the first floor. Todd started to fix the damaged ceiling, but never completed it. He also only tiled part way up the master bath shower, and didn't put a fan in the enclosed shower. the moisture build up caused the paint on the wet board above to bubble and sag. I had to have the rest of the wall and ceiling above ripped out, replaced, and tiled. In the reconstruction, the new contractor discovered that the ceiling was only held in by a couple of screws. He was unsure how the ceiling hadn't already fallen down!

The wiring from the house to the garage turned out to be a nightmare and I had to have someone else came and run completely new lines. I still have wires sticking up out of the ground fromTtodd never burying them! 

I could continue to go on, but I think my point was made. Four YEARS later, on a project that was supposed to take "4 months", I am still having to have Todd's work fixed and completed. Lesson learned: Never trust a "friend" and ALWAYS get everything in WRITING!!! I know a few other people that have had "work" done and haven't found anyone happy with Todd's work. It is also my understanding that Todd has a number of other business ventures that he has been screwing people over in.
