Wes Paxton of Paxton Construct...

Wes Paxton of Paxton Construction Corporation was issued at least nine code violations for the construction of my Norfolk home. Workers did not always show up on time or when scheduled. Pile Foundation of the home shakes excessively due to undersized, over spanned girders and overloaded pilings as reported by a Forensic Engineer and another structural Engineer. The home was set on the foundation crooked, and the gap filled-in with Great Stuff foam. Bolts holes, for the bolts holding the girders to the pilings, were drilled less than an inch from the edge of the girders, in violation of the minimum edge distance for these fasteners. Paxton installed R-19 insulation in the cathedral ceiling instead of R-30. Areas of the attic had absolutely no insulation covering them. Plumbing was incompletely installed and unvented through the roof. When I presented the liens waivers given to me by Paxton to the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth in Richmond, they confirmed my suspicion that the lien waivers provided by Paxton were performed by Official Misconduct of the Notary and requested, I submit them in a formal complaint. As for the comments made above by Chesmomof3; Did he build your house? Did he sue you? Did he forge your name? Does your house shake back and forth like an RV on wheels, with bad suspension? Did he have unlicensed contractors work on your house? Did his son-in-law file suit against you for him? Did his daughter commit official misconduct while signing your lien waivers two weeks after the principal signatory signed the lien waivers? Did he alter the lien waivers he gave you from the suppliers? Did he get all his permits and inspections for the work he performed on your home? Did he settle out of court with you? Did he pay you $10,000 and dismiss the alleged $42,000 he was sueing for, to settle the morning of your trial? I bet not. Why did he drag me through a 2 year long legal battle and settle minutes before the trial was to begin? Your probably just friend trying to cover for him. How sweet of you. You obviously know who I am. I gave a real review. With real facts. From real experience. You are just trying to defend someone you know. Good for you. Have him build your next house. Better yet, buy mine. LOL, I didn't have insurance coverage to pay my legal fees. My costs to defend this suit were in excess of $50,000. That is real money out of my pockets. Not from an insurance company. I wasn't defended by my daughters lawyer husband. All the money I paid was real cash money, so he would not get away with what he did. And guess what, he didn't. I have paid for my right to write a review. There is so much more to this case than you know. With all this interest and concern with what happened, maybe I should make a website and include all the documents, evidence, and the depositions, so you can all see for yourselves what a great contractor your friend, Wes Paxton is. I see paxtonconstruction.com is not being used anymore. hmmmmm........ Maybe you can write an informed review when you truly know both sides of the story. I would be happy to provide all the evidence I have from both sides of the case. Maybe I can start a blog to get public opinion on the entire case. Wouldn't that be great? You did bring up a good point about there being two sides to every story. I want to be fair.

This Company is a first class contractor. They have a stellar reputation and have many glowing reviews from previous homebuyers for whom they've built homes. I read the previous review, and just remember that there are two sides to every story. People will say and do anything to get out of paying!
