AMATUER HOUR CONTRACTOR DEFECTS -You have 4 years to file these I suggest you make sure you are not a victim of inept workmanship if you had a property worked on by him or anyone associated with him Incorrect to FL building code Trusses..clamps..Doors not installed to Fl Building code Door impact glass was installed backwards , and we couldn't be insured until corrected Windows wont open Heavy shower walls glued to packing cardboard instead of installing a durorock wall ( they ordered the wrong shower pan, so thought this was an acceptable fix) - NOT TO CODE Kitchen wall not SQUARE, so counter installed at an angle, and stove, and tile, and cabinets - all not SQUARE -- but at an angle He is not aware of codes and doesn't take the time to find out Unfamiliar with beach side builds, turtle glass, hurricane windows and turtle exterior lights Landscaper requirements and right of way requirements (You can check his past permits, many have failed inspections for building error) BUT KNOW they don't always inspect, depending on city build is in Flagler Beach building inspector does not inspect, as "they know him" I could go on for pages, but here are some examples ANNOYING Construction debris was buried throughout the yard large sections of concrete, lumber and orange fencing along with bottles and cans Cuts corners EVERYWHERE - thinks no one will catch him - doesn't even save that much money Armature work performed by several contractors - some unlicensed but still allowed to do work (Impact Glass Installed Backwards) Convoluted tactics to upcharge on every detail (they charge for lightbulbs) He, Chip Rinek, tried to charge $250 for a "change order", when he, the Chipster, ordered the wrong part Constant delays with no communication When he is caught in a lie, he, The Chipenator, becomes even more arrogant and then belligerent Areas not painted, blames the one man show contractors he hires All landscaping dead upon arrival - (he turned the irrigation system off that he demanded we have installed) - said a neighbor must of came over and shut off the system Build is not checked enough during process to make sure anything is correct or matches plan The city inspector DOES NOT check items are done to code and items are passed Many supply stores around town will not deal with him anymore, so most supplies are from cities further away - that's why he tries to have you only pick from items in the RINEK showroom, you can never go to a local showroom and pick selections INCORECT ITEMS FROM PLAN Tile color wrong, and blamed us, the people giving him $500,000, look at it this way, your new car/truck/suv what ever, better be prefect and you did not spend anywhere near $500,000 Doors (he installed a cheaper brand and then didn't finish all sides) Driveway plan, he changed it and then demanded to be paid more or he would take a section out Light was boxed in by electrician BUT- Sheet rocker just rocked right over it -no one checked the plan ADVICE  for whoever you use -  Get a FL real estate lawyer to check contract- his are not detailed enough( this is how Rinek  substitutes garbage products in .
