Gord Tapp promised to deliver a well built house within budget. He promised the world, came off as a friend who's going to save me money. What I found was that he would not completely finish each portion of each job in order to get paid the total amount paid by the bank for draws. Example: Did the drywalling and taping but neglected to put in the bathroom tubs before drywalling - just so he could get the payment for that job. 3/4 of the way through the job, I asked him how he was that day and he lit into me like I was a man (I'm a woman/widow trying to build my own modest dream home). I believe he planned this from the beginning, to snow me into thinking he was my savior. What he ended up doing is quitting that day out of the blue for no apparent reason, then gave me a final bill that was supposed to be $7,778 and it was given to me at $19,000. So I found out that since it was under $25,000, he had me in a rock and hard place - it wouldve cost me double that to win the case and my house wouldn't have gotten finished. He then put on a lien in which I had to pay him. In this time he threatened me and my son. Don't be fooled by his charms and looks. He was my friend for almost five years and I never saw it coming. After he left, I had to have the plumbing repaired, found out there were many small jobs that were done incorrectly that ended up costing me more money to fix (plumbing, electrical, fans done incorrectly, no hookup to exhaust fans for the stove, and fixed the bad taping and sanding). DONT hire this man - he will end up taking you for money - I found out that he told a friend of his that "he'd won the lottery with me"... not a good person or a good friend.

My name is Gordon Tapp of Madcol leasing,
I am going to list some very simple facts and arithmatics so that the readers understand your ignorant review of my company which is currently under review by my lawyer.
- The house that I quoted to build was a Ground level bungalow with decks at ground level and no handrails
- The house that was built was a two storey with decks 12ft.off the ground and had to have 120ft.of handrail installed and stairs.(not quoted)
- The foundation contractor that YOU hired built the foundation on a rock and the basement that was supposed to be below grade was now sticking out of the ground 8ft. as well as pouring your basement too short by 30 inches, and your basement windows too low, not pouring the sono tubes correctly, and not pouring the garage wall.
- As a result of the foundation contractors errors I had to :
- build a 30 inch knee wall around the entire perimeter of the house
- raise the steel beam and 30 inches and order custom steel supports for beam.
- frame the entire garage including headers.
- re-pour the sono tubes for front deck
- raise 4 windows in ICF block 12inches
-All before I could even begin what I quoted you on from the plans you provided
- All of which was not quoted along with more siding to cover 35% more house sticking out of ground.
- As for the rest of the accusations:
-I was promised heat by you and Your contractor for two weeks in a row so that the drywall mud could dry properly as well as the primer . As a result I wasted several trips to your house to complete mudding as it was not drying fast enough with the 0 temperatures in the evening.( 2 hour round trip each day. )
- I could not install your tubs or fixtures because your account at Home building center was frozen due to non payment and as a result they also put a lien on your property.
- The flooring installer could not install the hardwood because there was no heat and in fact delivered it on a sunday and could not leave it there to climatize.
You also left out the facts that I moved you out of your previous house while your 17 year old son watched.
And you thought it was a good idea to have one of my subcontractors help you take the rifles away from your son as he was threatening his own life as well as your own safety all in the same week he received a DUI at the age of 17.
There .much more but I'm limited to 4000 characters
Here is your math question;
If a customer calls you at BAKERS JOURNAL where you sell advertising space and wants a larger section in the magazine, do they get that space for free?
The answer is no in case you were thinking about it too long.
Fact is the house that was built for you was much bigger than was quoted.
Your lawyer and mine agreed and I was Paid and you had to pay both lawyers.
Please do not blame me for your ignorance and the mistakes of the contractors YOU hired.
