Backed out of job in the final hour.:
We had an agreement with Dorchester Door and window to install 12 windows on a house we were purchasing.
They refused to sign the paperwork the bank was requesting to process our loan. Even though the paperwork was on their desk for three months, they didn't even bother to read it. The owner refused to sign the FHA Homeowner Contractor agreement, specific for the type of loan we were using to finance the repairs on this house. It's a standard government backed loan, guaranteed money.
One week before we closed, we were still calling and asking for them to sign and send over this document. 7 days before our closing date was when they finally decided to cancel our agreement and not do any work. By that point it was too late to resubmit our loan application and we couldn't purchase that house. As a result of their negligence, unwillingness to return phone calls, or return requested documentation we lost a substantial amount of money on inspections, apprasials, fees etc.
I will never do any business with this company, and certainly would not recommend them to anyone.
