Ramona Passarello hasn't added a story.
My parents and I hired a general contractor, who ultimately declared
bankruptcy, that worked on a project for a major renovation that would
create a secondary suite to their home and assist them with the
mortgage payments, as my father has been repeatedly ill, and finances
are a growing concern. This renovation was significant, and including
lifting the house to ensure the height conformed to city bylaws. The
short of our tedious and frustration search for a builder ended with a
Parksville builder, Michael Renaud of JM Renaud Ltd. He produced a
written contract that stated the job, to completion would be done for
$90,000. Ultimately, with about 40% of the job completed, he declared
bankruptcy and there are liens on the house and much of the work that
was done needs repair. My parents continue to live upstairs with no
laundry facilitiies, a pellet stove only to heat the house, holes in
the drywall, and an addition that is only framed in. Without being
able to pay the mortgage past what funds remain, we are afraid of the
outcome. In our desperation, we turned to the community for help.
To make a long story short, through the committed generosity of
Dan Poirier of Poirier Painting, the media, and contributions
throughout the community, we are thankfully at the stage where we have
hope that this project may be completed. We now have a contractor
completing the job along with the donations offered from various local
businesses. The estimated amount we require to see this through
is $15,000 - $20,000.
Your attention, time and contributions are appreciated more than anyone could possibly know. Thank you.
