-July 7, 2007, our gabled AC Unit was hit by lightening and disabled beyond repair.
-July 12, we entered into contract, w/ a deposit of 2,325. Our contract inc. the total cost of permits and we were assured that they would be timely pulled- we were also told that our City allows work to begin before the permit is issued "as long as it is applied for and is in process". Mike Thompson, aka Ricky Knight, guaranteed that he would have the app for permit before he began work by the following Tuesday and could complete the job, including the manufacture and installation of a new gable shelf, in one day.
-My husband and I then vacated the home for the period of July 12- 19.
-July 17, Universal Air and Heat indeed did complete the AC replacement. We discovered that he had never applied for the permit but expected to be paid in full. We personally visited the building department b/c he then claimed that it was in a drop box. It was not. He claimed for 2 more days that the permit has been applied for, that he had a receipt but no process number and that we must pay him in full. After applying pressure to Mr. Thompson to fulfill the permit requirements, he applied for the permit on
-July 20, 07.
There is no clause in our contract that specifies when final payment is due. We have every intention of paying Universal, in full, upon completion.
- July 18, 07 Mr. Thompson filed a Contractors Lien, instead of applying for a permit, as an intimidation tactic. We offered, in good faith, a substantial amt of the bal due until the permit is issued and inspections made but were met with threats of "keeping the permit open for 6 months, charging double the contract amount and keeping the lien open to screw up the sale of our home". It is our opinion that he never intended on permitting this job.
-Also, a commissioned Notary in his employ, Jen Wallings, notarized documents without our presence. We will be filing suit with the State Attorney's Office in this matter.
