Skye Construction

Mr. Chris Pulley (Steven Pulley) is a very pleasant, soft-​spoken person. Unfortunately, Mr. Pulley’s excellent personal qualities do not transfer into his professional qualities as a skilled builder with integrity. Mr. Pulley failed on more than one occasion to follow the architect’s plans and the product manufacturer’s specifications during the construction of our house.
While framing our house, Mr. Pulley failed to follow the architect’s plans that specifically stated «no OSB, plywood only» and «no hem-​fir, Douglas Fir only.» Mr. Pulley refused to take responsibility for his negligence that resulted in a lesser quality home.
During the construction of our above-​ground decks, Mr. Pulley failed to refer to the architect’s plans or the manufacturer of the waterproofing material’s specifications. The plans called for a 60 ml waterproofing membrane for the decks and to be sloped ¼″ per foot away from the house. As a result of Mr. Pulley’s negligence in using the required materials and installing the materials correctly, we have above-​ground decks that leak water between the exterior of house and decks and drain towards the house. According to our certified house inspectors and the manufacturer of the waterproofing materials, the only permanent remedy is to completely remove and replace the decks at a costs of $ 65,000. Mr. Pulley lied to the arbitrator to avoid financial responsibility and stated that he was never provided with deck plans, that I had told him what materials to use to build the decks, and that I had told him how to build the decks. Mr. Pulley refused to take any responsibility for his mistakes. He later admitted under oath as to having no experience with building above-​ground decks like ours.
In addition, Mr. Pulley failed to correctly install two French doors that do not latch, provide adequate ventilation under the above-​ground decks, use the proper fasteners and spacing distance between exterior stair treads, and attach the trim collars to the deck posts. Cost to remedy these mistakes is over $ 10,000. Mr. Andersen, the general contractor, and Mr. Pulley have refused to take any responsibility for fixing their mistakes even though they were contractually obligated to do so.
