Yes, the contract is through our GC for the main house permit. The reason for me writing here is to give caution to future clients of this subcontractor. The ultimate consequences are the GC's, but for us, it means more work, possibly legal costs just to get to the end of the process. This guy is not a bad contractor- his folks did really nice work. My caution is that he has absolutely no integrity in meeting his obligations and the worst client communication of any sub I have ever used. We did have a separate relationship with him for our solar system, and agreed to have him do the main electrical work based on his bid to our GC. The problems with our direct contract were not regarding the work, but his misrepresentation of his schedule and purchase of the equipment. Outright lies. We felt as if we were begging him to complete his agreement.
