HIC Claims Division One Ashburton Place, Room 1301 Boston, MA 02108 May 31, 2005 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards HIC Claims Division One Asburton Place — Room 1301 Boston, MA 02018 Complaint Against: Steven Graves, General Contractor, Contractor License #142607 Made By: Linda Trimble, 83 Penni Lane, North Andover, MA In. Accordance with MGL Chanter 142A I feel that Mr. Graves violated the laws under MGL Chanter 142A and "abandoned and failed to perform ... the project undertaken by a registered contractor... and the deposit exceeded the greater of one-third of the total contract price and/or the actual cost of any materials advance of the commencement of work..." To Whom It May Concern: The following is a chronological sequence of events in my dealings with Mr. Steven Graves (contractor from Wakefield, MA): At the end of October 2004 I talked with my sister Carol Grace with reference to work that she and her husband were having done on their home in Wakefield, MA. by Mr.Graves, a former neighbor and friend. Because she knew I also needed some work done on my home, she asked me if I was interested in talking with Mr. Graves with reference to my home repairs. I agreed to talk with him. • Mr. Graves called, set up an appointment to meet at my home, and we discussed a list of the following home repairs: - the purchase and installation of two new storm doors - the purchase and installation of a new Anderson kitchen window - the purchase and installation of 13 floor -to -ceiling screens on a back porch - the repair of two window sashes, and a few other small repairs on my home • Two days later, November 2, 2004, Mr. Graves returned to my home with a "rough" estimate as to the price of the jobs. He did NOT have anything to hand me in writing. He did, however, have in his words "a rough estimate that would be typed up by his wife this evening." Because he wanted to start the job as soon as possible, he suggested that I give him a check for ordering the doors and windows that evening. According to Mr. Graves, he could order the doors, window and screens the next day. At this point I gave him a check for $600.00 (Please see copy of check # 4281 attached) -2 - Because of his long-standing relationship (20 years) and prior work done by Mr. Graves for my sister and brother-in-law, I felt comfortable that he was trustworthy. I would have no reason to think otherwise. At this point I hired him to do my house repairs on my home at 83 Penni Lane, North Andover, MA. Because six evenings earlier he mentioned that he needed the money to start the job, he suggested that cash would also work for him. The faster I got the money to him, the faster he could start the job. He returned to my home stating that he had priced out the screens and doors and if I could do cash, he would order all the doors, windows, and screens. On November 8th, 2004 I handed him, at his request, $3,000 in cash. (Please see receipt of cash payment attached) • Four weeks later, (December 8th) I still had not heard from Mr. Graves. I called his home and left several messages on his answering machine. I still had NOT RECEIVED a call from Mr. Graves. However, I received a call from his nephew who stated that he would remove the old screens. At this point, I anticipated the installation of new screens before the snow began to fly. This was not the case. Another call went onto to Mr. Grave's answering machine with my concerns of the impending snowstorm. Prior to Christmas the "quick fig" was to wrap the porch in plastic. To date, this is the last work that has been done by Mr. Graves. • Several more calls have gone unanswered! I believed Mr. Graves to be trustworthy and honest. However, it would appear I made a huge mistake!! This was MY first attempt at hiring out a job. Because I am a recent widow, (but after 28 years I believed I learned from my very astute and wise husband) I thought I proceeded with this transaction cautiously! I specifically told Mr. Graves I was nervous and asked him "should I trust you?" He stated that "I have known your sister for the last 20 years and that should speak for itself." I unfortunately was way too trusting! In the future, I will be hard pressed to trust other contractors who request cash in advance without a detailed contract. This was MY mistake and I will NEVER be taken for a fool again. • During this time I contacted the North Andover police of my problem. They suggested I take it to. small claims court. After contacting small claims court, they stated they only handle up to $2000 in damages. • On April 19, 2005, I sent Mr. Graves a certified letter (Please see letter attached) • On April 29, 2005 I received a certified letter from Mr. Graves. (Please see letter attached). (I should add that he NEVER "left a message" at my home as he indicates in his letter) • On the evening of May 2, 2005, I called Mr. Graves' home and without reaching him personally, I left a message acknowledging his letter and I requested that he "please get back to me." To date, May 31, 2005 there has been NO further response from Mr. Graves. I -3 - find it hard to believe that Mr. Graves' "schedule has been change many times over to accommodate that needs of customers that have had emergencies." Isn't it a common courtesy to return a phone call? I feel that Mr. Graves violated the laws under MGL Chapter 142A and "abandoned and failed to perform ... the project undertaken by a registered contractor... and the deposit exceeded the greater of one-third of the total contract price and/or the actual cost of any materials advance of the commencement of work..." The fact that Mr. Graves supposedly had schedule changes was unbeknownst to me. He NEVER called to let me know. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving my difficult, costly, and emotionally upsetting situation. I thank you in advance for your help. (P.S. Mr. Graves has still not contacted or started work for my sister.)

Because she knew I also needed some work done on my home, she gave me your name, at which time f called you. Roughly one week later, you called, set up an appointment to meet at my home, and we discussed a list of the following home repairs: • the purchase and installation of two new storm doors • the purchase and installation of a new Anderson kitchen window • the purchase and installation of 13 floor -to -ceiling screens on a back porch • the repair of two window sashes, and a few other small repairs on my home Two days later, November 2, 2004, you returned to my home with a "rough" estimate as to the price of the jobs. Because you wanted to start the job as soon as possible, you suggested that I give you a deposit for $600. to order the doors. I did so. Because of your long-standing relationship (20 years) and prior work you had done for Carol and Rich I felt comfortable that you were trustworthy and honest. I would have no reason to think otherwise. You returned to my on November 8`h, 2004 and I handed you $3,000 in cash to order the screens. After several calls to you, I finally ended up getting a return call from Kevin, your nephew. He came to the house a removed the screens and wrapped the porch in plastic. Well. as you know the rest is history. I still have not heard from you. I am terribly upset and disappointed in you. I unfortunately was way too trusting and believed you! Therefore, if I don't hear from you by May 1St with a payment schedule, I will be turning this matter over to my lawyer (whom of which suggested that I file this legal complaint against you a long time ago). I have since hired the job out, so I DO NOT need or want your help. Sincerely, Linda Trimble 83 Penni Lane North Andover, MA (978)688-5771 Steven C. Graves, General Contractor Licensed and Insured Wakefield, MA {781} 24.E-6461 April 27, 2005 Ms. Linda Trimble 83 Penni Lane North Andover, MA Dear Ms. Trimble: I am in receipt of your letter dated April 19, 2005. I was quite surprised to receive it since based on your conversation with Keith and my message left at your home, we are scheduled to work at your home next week. I am sympathetic with your concern over the schedule changes. However, due to the extreme weather we have had this winter, my schedule has been changed many times over to accommodate the needs of customers that have had emergencies. I would have done the same for you if you were in an emergency situation. I have not had any other complaints regarding my schedule. I take extreme exception to your insinuation of dishonesty on my part. I feel that my only mistake was bein, trusting and not asking you to sign a contract because of your relationship to Carol V I also feel that I have legal recourse since you "hired out the job" that we had agreed I would do. I do not choose to go that route, as I do not like to have bad feelings with any customers. I am sorry that you are disappointed and would have liked to have done your work for you and avoided all of these bad feelings. I suggest that we sit down and discuss what is to be done next, since materials have been ordered and demolition has been started. Si:-cerely, Steven Graves CERTIFIED MrA-IL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
