| Worsham Marine - John Worsham Houston TX Breach of Contract - Shoddy work Houston, Texas |
| 25th of Apr, 2011 by User953265 |
| I contracted with Worsham Marine to build a 400' retaining wall. The price of the project was $37,000.00. John Worsham gave me a written guarantee of the workmanship. The project was completed in November, 2010. In January, 2011 (2 months later), the wall started to buckle and collapse. For two months, John Worsham reassured me that he would take care of the problem as soon as he finished a big job he was working on. Around the end of March, John quit taking my calls and would not return calls. Finally in April, I contacted the supplier of the materials, who recommended John Worsham to me. He contacted Worsham, and was told that we "dug the channel deeper", and this was why the wall was failing. Nice excuse, but completely untrue. He also told the supplier that "He was no longer handling this case and he had turned it over to his insurance company." Now, I can be pretty ignorant, but I do know that liability insurance does not cover breach of contract. He has no insurance bonding. So in a nutshell, he implied that he was just going to hope we go away. It's pretty sad, as we are senior citizens, and my husband is disabled. We had saved this money over a long period of time, and contracted for the wall so we could have a better chance of selling this property, to be able to have an emergency fund. Now, with the money gone, and a huge eyesore, I guess we'll never be able to sell it. I truly hope that my experience helps you make an intelligent decision in any marine construction projects where Worsham Marine might play a role. Thank you for reading my sob story. |
