Renovation dispute<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When renovating your home, it is imperative to hire competent contractors that will do the job right the first time.\u00a0 A Springfield couple performed their due diligence in hiring Home Depot to completely reconstruct their new home.\u00a0 The renovation would include a new kitchen and bathroom, and new flooring and windows.\u00a0Home Depot subcontracted the job to B. Lombardi & Sons of Cedar Grove, Verona and Roseland.\u00a0 The couple is now suing both parties for incomplete work and violations of the Consumer Fraud Act and the Home Improvement Practices Act.\u00a0 In addition, the couple claims the contractors used poor quality building materials and breached their contracts.<\/p>\n

When the contractors abandoned the project, the couple was forced to live in a home that was not complete.\u00a0 They were left with no other choice than to hire additional contractors to repair the work already done and complete the renovation<\/a>.\u00a0 The amount of compensation the couple is suing for is $100,000, which equates to triple damages and legal fees.\u00a0 According to the lawsuit, the issue with Home Depot has been ongoing for about two years.\u00a0 The couple was disappointed that such a large, well-known company that prides itself on providing excellent customer service has allowed the issue to prolong itself for this long.<\/p>\n

Home Depot is adamant that the company has been working with the couple to try to resolve the matter.\u00a0 At the beginning of the project in 2018, a company sales representative promised the couple that the company would redo construction that is not done to the customer\u2019s satisfaction.\u00a0 There was an additional promise made that the renovation would be completed by July 2018.\u00a0After two managers visited the couple\u2019s home to assess the damage, they claimed that the work that was done was not a good indicator of a quality Home Depot renovation.\u00a0 The couple has not agreed to the $39,000 settlement offered by Home Depot but hopes to reach a resolution soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
