Fidurko Brothers started construction on 3-3-2019. During this time they failed to apply for and obtain proper permits until well into the project. They failed to inform the Town Code Enforcement Officer of construction progress and failed to obtain proper inspections and required drawings. This resulted in the Town of Great Valley issuing Fidurko Brothers a Stop Work Order on 5-20-2019 for failure to build the garage according to pre-construction designs. Brian and Patrick were notified promptly on 5-21-2019 by the homeowner of the defects. The homeowner provided Fidurko Brothers with a good faith Opportunity to Cure. The Notice to Cure addendum was mutually agreed upon, signed and notarized on 6-5-2019. Fidurko Brothers agreed that the original agreement, Stop Work Order, and poor workmanship would be remedied by the July 6, 2019 deadline. Following the signed addendum on 6-5-19, theoccasional "employee" or sub-contractor would work for 1-3 hours a couple days per week. Brian and Patrick Fidurko as principal self-proclaimed business partners with "no employees" failed to put forth any personal effort to obtain agreed upon construction drawings and inspections and never showed up at the job site to inspect or verify sub-contractors' workmanship during this period. The homeowner has in good faith fulfilled his contractional obligations with prompt payments as work progressed. The siding, deck, and progression of garage work to date has been paid in full. There is unfinished work, code violations, and poor quality on all three of the above projects. The homeowner has fairly considered the contractors' lack of effort, poor workmanship, verbal abuse and threats in the decision to terminate the relationship while retaining all legal rights. The remaining balance ($12,350) of the original garage proposal is hereby forfeited and owed by Fidurko Brothers to complete the signed contract. An additional documented ($8,700) is owed to correct the glaring poor workmanship, electrical and structural code violations.

Fidurko Brothers’ Construction was contracted in July 2017. I worked with Brian Fidurko. There were several issues with quality/workmanship, but the major items were: - Failed to put down an adequate subbase, which resulted in poor drainage under the concrete (leading to excessive heaving) and very inconsistent concrete thicknesses. I found 2-1/2” thick sidewalk concrete where it should have been 4”, and areas of the driveway with 3” thick concrete where we had agreed upon 6”. - Did not pin his concrete pads together, so pads could float/heave independently which created a 2" step height difference during winter. In addition to a trip hazard, I could not plow the driveway without risking damage to concrete. - Trip hazards due to mismatched heights of concrete pads at multiple locations. (as poured, prior to winter heaving) - Refused to use rebar. (He referred to it as ‘foreign material’) - Poured concrete directly against my garage floor concrete (no expansion joint) which cracked/chipped the entire garage foundation after winter heaving. - Concrete pads were pillow-shaped instead of being flat, creating valleys where they met and pitching/directing water towards my neighbor’s garage. Not only did this create friction between me and my neighbor, it also was a code violation. - The finish quality was extremely poor with (3) different shades of gray concrete, dips/bumps and very poor edging. After 11 months of asking contractor to put his plans in writing on how he planned to correct the issues, I gave them an ultimatum. Contractor failed to provide a corrective action plan, so I hired another contractor to make the repairs. (which resulted in complete removal/reinstallation, and cost me over $10K) Contractor and I then went to small claims court, and I was awarded $5,005, the maximum amount allowed in small claims. (Note that Fidurko tried to counter-sue me for the remaining balance, but the claim was dismissed) Since the court ruling, contractor has not made any contact or payment for what is owed to me.
