They started work in March 2017 and said it "would be about 6 months". A few months later they gave us a schedule that indicated a finish date of December 2017. By May 2018 we were fed up and we asked them to not return. We will fix the remaining issues (eg 4+ visits to fix eves and they are still leaking). At no time did they indicate we were the delay.
Extra work charges in the thousands that were not approved by us prior to the work being done.
There are so many inaccurate statements in the Jackson response. I have no interest in debating them here. Good luck if you choose to use them.
I could go on but you get the idea.

We have apologized for our timeliness due to internal staffing issues but also there were some health issues and surgeries on the clients’ side. They asked us not to return from Dec 2017 – March 2018 due to these surgeries. Not to mention once the demolition started we ran into our first obstacle; a concrete pad, which was covered in dirt about a 1’ to 18” below grade; approximately 24” thick by the width of the house. We also ran into bad weather during the summer months. As it relates to the eaves we did not want to make quick fixes but diligent ones with results when that did not occur we realized the problem may be bigger than originally thought. We attempted repairs on the eaves 4 different times with minor success each time; we would have returned as many times as necessary to complete the warranty issue.
