It's been a number of years and my spouse did part of the work so it's hazy.

If I remember correctly, it was a good company that went bad. When they did the work for us is when they were on their downhill slide.

We had problems with their work not being done to code and called and they were out of business. Someone had bought the contracts and employees, but the old company was bankrupted.

Contacted the state, etc., but all that was available to us was $600.

Like I said, it's been a number of years and I didn't handle all of it, but we brought in attorneys as well. We didn't pursue it in court though.

That sounds like a huge nightmare. Probably well beyond what most bonds cover anyway.
