Edward Humphrey said that he had all of the proper permits for the work down on our house. He did have permits for the roofing and siding. He even showed us plans for the bumpout that were on file at the town hall which were not. We held firm that there would be no final payment until the town inspected all of the work.
The work dragged on for months, the subcontractors were telling us that they were not getting paid, and we started getting suspicious when he sent 3 of his foreman to get his final payment, or someone from the office would say that it had to be paid now. I went to the town hall to find out that there were no permits for the bumpout addition as well as some other work. He first told me that I did not need permits to get the money. Later, he told me that the plans/permits were not included in the contract and that I should pay him. I filed a complaint with the BBB. His first response to the complaint was that the plans and permits were not required.
