Quality Roofing& Masonary

We originally agreed to pay this company $ 4900 to paint a wrought iron fence. Our contract stated the fence was to be power-​washed and wire-​brushed to prep it for painting. Without our approval, the company rented a sandblaster and sandblasted the fence to prep it. They then attempted to charge us $ 2300 extra (almost 50% of the original cost of the project), even though this expenditure was never approved. We agreed to pay an extra $ 1700.
One year later, the fence has started rusting because not enough paint was applied. The contract explicitly states «all labor and materials are guaranteed 10 years from date of completion,» but the company is refusing to honor this guarantee because it was issued by a former employee with whom the company had a falling out. We are currently pursuing legal action to ensure the contract is honored.
