Blair Young Construction

Working with Blair Young Construction was frustrating and disappointing. The subcontractors hired did quality work, but the project management provided by Blair Young Construction was terrible. The five-month project took more than a year. The budget presented omitted basic items that a company of this level should have known to include. The project went $80,000+ over budget and was still not completed, we finally had to cease work, leaving us with a mess that is still tens of thousands of dollars to complete. Design decisions were made without our consultation. Budget overruns were made without change orders or even our knowledge, but we were still responsible for paying for them. Our property was damaged or destroyed and not repaired. Communication from the owner and project manager was lacking and they were not on the same page. The owner tried pressuring us into issuing the final payment before all work was completed and final inspections conducted. The owner also threatened to invoice us for more money when I asked for a repair to be made that the company was 100% responsible for. I had also instructed the owner, Blair Young, that he could not use any images of the project to promote his business. Instead of complying with my request, he obtained pictures I took of the project without my knowledge or permission and posted them on his various social media sites. One picture was of work he did not complete. His blatant disregard of my instructions was incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional to customers who trusted him and spent a lot of money.
