State suing Northeast Ohio contractors

Counts include failure to deliver and performing substandard work.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has announced lawsuits against two Northeast Ohio home improvement contractors.

The lawsuits accuse Mark Walker of Avon, and his business, All American Restoration, and Wayne Given of Silver Lake, doing business as Basement Waterproofing Solutions, of failure to deliver and performing shoddy work.

"When consumers pay thousands of dollars for home improvement services they never receive as promised, there's a problem," DeWine said. "We are committed to enforcing Ohio's consumer protection laws and holding violators accountable."

Wayne Given operated Basement Waterproofing Solutions from his home in Silver Lake, Ohio, offering basement waterproofing services. Consumers complained that the business failed to deliver or did shoddy work. Reported losses totaled approximately $12,900 for three consumer complaints.

From the Labour Reporter - Supervisor Goes to Jail, Roofing Co Fined After a Worker Fell and Died

labour-reporter.com

Nov 25, 2013

Supervisor jailed, company fined after worker dies

Roofing Medics Ltd. fined $50,000 after worker killed in fall

Roofing Medics Ltd. was fined $50,000 and its supervisor Paul Markewycs jailed for 15 days after a worker was killed in a fall from a residence in Toronto.

The roofing installation company — based in Brampton — was found to be in violation of Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker installing waterproofing materials from a ladder lost his balance and fell. The worker fell about six metres and struck a fence. The employee was taken to hospital and pronounced dead an hour later.

"I hope this jail sentence sends a chill down the spine of every boss who puts profit ahead of workplace safety," said Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) president Sid Ryan. "Every year 80 Ontario workers are killed in workplace tragedies and nearly 250,000 more are maimed or injured. The only way to stop this carnage in the workplace is to march negligent employers from their boardroom to a jail cell."

What do you think? Is fifteen days in jail to light a sentence just right or to extreme? Leave us a comment.

Exposed Waterproofer in NJ Buys His Nemesis' dot com Web Names, Redirects Them to XXX Sites

FROM THE NY POST - Extra, extra — get your "hard" news here! 

A New Jersey businessman was so angry about an article that ran the Newark Star-Ledger, he bought the editor's Web domain name — then redirected users to a hardcore porn website to get revenge, a new lawsuit claims.

Editor Kevin Whitmer claims the paper ran a series of negative articles between 2010 and 2013 about waterproofing company owner Alfred Demola, exposing his allegedly shady business practices such as not returning customers' deposits.

The articles, which ran in the business column "Bamboozled," enraged Demola — who called the editor, demanding the paper stop writing about him, READ THE REST AT THE NY POST SITE HERE http://nypost.com/2013/11/21/business-owner-accused-of-xxx-revenge/

JLC LIVE's Educational Tracks in Portland Puts a Lot of Emphasis on Decks!

If you build, design or waterproof decks, you probably want to get to Portland in December!

JLC Live has a few educational tracks for all of you. The first are on Wednesday Dec 4th  

W02 - Deck Design Application Workshop and CAD Software

Kim Katwijk

There must be 40 design applications out there. Which one is easy to learn? What can give me the edge over the other deck builders? How much does it cost? If you still draw your decks on paper, it is time to come to the 21st century. We will explore most of the CAD software available, what they do well, what they can't do, and what you can make them do!  Break out of the box. There's more to deck design than right angles. In this session you will learn how to:

• Utilize CAD software effectively
• Use simple geometric shapes to create something unimaginable
• Advance your bottom line by learning how to give your clients numerous design options

Next up is 

W05 - Construction and Waterproofing Methods for Walking Decks and Tile Covered Decks

Bill Leys

Waterproofed decks and/or tile-covered waterproof decks rate high on the list of components claimed to have construction defects. Sadly, many of those claims are true. This session will teach you the best construction practices needed to keep you and the deck contractor out of the court room. The first half of this session will discuss pedestrian deck systems and the best building practices necessary to construct a well built long lasting deck assembly. After, time for Q&A and the second half of the session continues with instruction on tile roof decks and how to properly build and waterproof them for a system that will last 30+ years. Learning objectives in this session include:

• Best practices my company subscribes to when installing new waterproofing systems for tile. 
• Best practices in building and framing a deck that will receive tile, which materials are available for waterproofing tile decks.
• How to properly sequence the waterproofing of the deck with the construction of the building.
• Tile Council of North America standards and methods for tile decks.
• Reduce your risk of exposure to liability. 

Thursday's educational tracks include

T05 - Deck Engineering

Kim Katwijk

This technical seminar focuses on deck engineering and the skills necessary to successfully design and build decks of any size and shape. From the decking down to the footings, you will learn about load paths, spans, beam placements, connections, footings, cost evaluation, railings, stairs, ledgers, point loading and deck covers.  You will acquire building techniques that extend the life of a deck by discouraging the growth of rot. Whether you've been in the industry for 20 months or 20 years as an owner, manager or lead carpenter, these are valuable methods you will be able to take back to your jobs.

There's lots more educational tracks on building-from drywall to new construction technologies...sign up now at JLCLIVE! .http://nw.jlclive.com/Attendee/ShowInfo

Decking demo's, manufacturer's and more all at JLC. See you there on December 4th!

From Fire Chief- Congressional leaders, builders to discuss home vulnerabilities to wildfires

Saw this on a blog site...hope they are going to talk about decks and how concrete coatings can reduce the possibility of homes igniting...

"On November 12, the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) and the BuildStrong Coalition will meet with congressional leaders at the IBHS Research Center in Richburg, S.C., to explore solutions to make the U.S. more resilient to natural disasters. Rep. Bill Shuster [R-PA], chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and Rep. Lou Barletta [R-PA} the chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management, will lead a congressional delegation to tour of the research center and observe a demonstration of home ignition vulnerabilities in the 38 states that are at risk to wildfire, the IBHS said."

Excellent Coatings (Finally) Gets an Updated ICC-ES Report-Tufflex II Listed as "Additional Listee"

Excellent Coatings has an updated ICC report under  Division 7 Pedestrian Traffic Coatings. 

The new report replaces their old "Legacy" report, leaving only Life Paint with a Legacy report  listing.  I've heard several manufacturer's tell me that it's taking ICC an eternity to evaluate reports.  

Take a look here at this link to read their new report. http://www.icc-es.org/Reports/pdf_files/ESR-2505.pdf

A big surprise is that there is an "additional" listee, that being Tufflex Polymers with Excellent Coatings products labeled under the trade name "Dexcelent  II"and "Tufflex II". 

It will be interesting to compare the pricing of the materials through Tufflex vs Excellent Coatings.

Mr. Condo Discusses Sliding Doors to A Deck - Limited Common Element or Not Is The Question///

N.L. from Illinois writes:

Dear Mister Condo,

I have a similar situation as described in your question and answer entitled "Can Condo Association Collect Misappropriated Funds Paid for Deck Repair 2 Years Ago?"(http://caict.org/askmistercondo/can-condo-association-collect-misappropriated-funds-paid-for-deck-repair-2-years-ago/)

In 2012 our association informed us it was going to replace our sliding glass doors at the cost of $4600. Prior to making the decision the board consulted with an attorney who reviewed our declarations and by laws. He stated (3 separate times) that due to ambiguities between our declarations and by laws the association should treat the sliding doors as common elements. In January of 2013, a new board was elected and in April of 2013 issued a resolution stating that sliding glass doors (amongst other things) were not considered common elements any longer.

Re: Inquiry

Hello Dave,

Our email chain is now online at www.waterproofdeckcoatingadvice.blogspot.com for the whole world to read and comment on...

You have a D-12 license. Don't duck and dodge. 

You think it's ethical to refer a business partner as a consultant on a matter that concerns your product? See waterproofingsuperstore partners listing attached. I'm not questioning Mark Marsch's ethics, I'm challenging your ethics in referring someone who has connections to you.  

Your wife Carol is a beautiful Russian lawyer? Wow, I thought she was a nurse with a permanently suspended license - at least according to documents online she is. Or did you divorce Carol and remarry?

  I'm flattered that you think I have a bromance with you but that's just your bi side flaring up I guess huh? I'm interested in seeing what dirt and skeletons you have that you don't want anyone to know about. 

I'd love it if you tried to sue me.

 I'd label it as a SLAPP and that's the first thing that would get heard...and then I'd post all the documents up on my site. 

I'd subpoena everything you have. And I put out the REFCO case and the Scott Schmutzer case out as proof that you are a liar. As in, "the court finds you less than credible" liar.

 So go ahead. Do it. I'd slap you down as NCS has no standing to sue in California as a suspended corporation... and I'd publish it all. 

So you see Dave the truth is  a defense and as you know it's really tough to prove libel and slander...especially in your case, you are a semi-public figure in the deck industry...and have a history. 

By the way, I never applied to be a applicator while you were there as I wasn't a licensed contractor then...and  you can try to throw Tim McDonald under the bus all day long but it won't work. When Mer-Kote got bought out, got rid of you and cleaned up, I became an applicator. 

A question...were you working for Mer-Kote as a salesperson between 6/20/1997 and 6/20/2002  while at the same time was apparently an owner with WICR? 

Another question-why when you were a member of RCI as a consultant where you using WICR's fax number? I find that peculiar. 

So anytime bro, anytime you want to file, let me know so I can get the press ready!

Interesting Bill….  Let me clarify for the record.  You are NOT in any way shape or form, qualified or capable to act in the capacity as an expert!  In fact if you did not know, you have an irrigation license… (also known as a synthetic materials licenses). And for the record,  I don't contract for waterproofing installations with my licenses, although you apparently do and last I checked, it's illegal to contract without the proper license…! But this is your problem and one that I am sure you, as an self-proclaimed expert, will address before the industry or your three clients learn about it.. 

 

Mark Marsch's left pinky is more qualified and more ethical than you can ever wish to be.  Therefore, to suggest your client use Mark was the best thing your client can hear from me or anyone in the waterproofing business.  Unethical, not a chance….  Mark is an independent consultant and does not work for me… but then again since you like to intrude into other people's business, you should already know this.   By the way, why are you so fascinated with me anyway, you know I am straight and married to a beautiful Russian lawyer, don't you?

 

Bill, to be clear, my business and my personal information is NONE of your business and not something I will share with you.  Therefore, let me be perfectly clear, should you  even attempt to interfere with my business, slander or liable my name (Krubinski or Mazor), or companies in any way or cause any harm to my reputation or that of my companies, I guarantee I will personally sue you into bankruptcy and even your lawyer brother will not be able to defend you adequately.  Think about it Bill, aren't you broke or just about broke and have nothing except the hole you pay rent?  You know, bankruptcy and legal fees will consume the  remainder  of your piggy bank and your perceived reputation?   Also do you really want to go down this road with me and burden your brother with years of legal fights just to satisfy your own twisted belief that you are a self-proclaimed expert who by the way is lying to the three or four readers of your web site… or for some reason to attempt to discredit me or my companies for your own wired reasons…? 

 

I'm sure you're still upset because neither Tim McDonald of Merkote or I would approve you to install our coatings.  But you just need to get over it…  I do not want to do business with you because you lack experience, finances and you are extremely unethical and Tim McDonald was the one who denied you as an applicator.  I had nothing to do with his decision.

 

I suggest you go find a ball to play with in the street and simply leave me alone as I want nothing to do with your fantasy world.  Play expert all you want as I really don't care, just leave me out of your games.

Hi David,

 

Thank you for your reply. Thank you for your recognition of my qualifications...ie above where you said "we do believe you are a qualified waterproofing contractor experienced enough to opine on waterproof coatings."  

 

The client is well aware of the relationship between DeckTech and myself competing against each other and they will independently verify any claims I've made through other independent experts. 

 

I will again reiterate my invitation to you to tell me what statements I've made about NCS or DeckTech are not true? I again offer to remove any statements that I've made that are shown to be untrue or incorrect. But if the statements aretrue, well the truth hurts and no one likes their lies exposed.  

 

In regards to #1 above, it seems to me I'd want to be involved when it's your product being represented...if you don't want to be involved  well, we just might report that so the buying public can consider that as part of their buying decision. 

 

In regards to #2 up above, one persons idea of causing trouble for someone is another person's idea of shining a light into the dark underbelly of your business. A client of yours via DeckTech is asking questions that you don't seem to care to answer in a forthright manner. Perhaps that's because you know what problems you'll see if you have to show up at the job? As the old saying goes, a little sunshine is the best disinfectant. You don't like what I say because you can't  refute it, you can only try to "duck and dodge" the issues. 

 

Speaking of being unethical; wouldn't you consider it unethical to recommend a current and former business partner as the "independent expert" the client should talk to? I almost keeled over laughing  when they mentioned Mark Marsch's name...

 

In regards to #3 above, I am whether you like it or not, recognized as an expert on this subject. What matters is recognition by others of one expertise and I have that so go cry in a bucket. 

 

In regards to #4 above, your goal is to not answer my questions. I understand, answering my questions would only raise more...well I'll get my questions answered one way or another. Once I get them and verify them, I'll publish them.

 

I don't need anyone's blessing to let me police the industry. I'll decide if I want to do that.    

 

All you can do is deflect the questions by trying to say I'm not properly licensed, but yet again, I'll  point out that you have a D-12 license as well...

My website,despite your opinion, is very popular and I get many compliments on it. Again, you don't like your sleazy shit being dragged out of it's hole and posted on my site for everyone to see.

 

So let me ask you a few other questions- 

 

when do you expect to have your corporate status become active again with the SOS in CA? It has been suspended for several months now...how can you operate when legally you can't? 

 

Why are you changing your name on the Nevada contractors board from Krubinski to Mazor?  Do you hold any licenses in CA under Mazor? I see one under ICR Services for Krubinski and one under "David Mazor" here in CA.  

 

I appreciate your response to the above requests for information.

 

Thank you

Bill,

 

I guess you really don't understand my previous emails to you,  therefore let me try one more time:

 

1.       I do not get involved in disputes between contractors and their clients, regardless of the product unless I am hired as an expert in a litigation case.

2.       I do not discuss Nevada Coatings clients with any third parties, especially with those who only wish to cause problems for others.

3.       I have noted to you in the past, you are NOT an industry expert and DO NOT police the coatings industry. 

4.       As I have noted to you previously, neither Nevada Coatings or I will discuss our company and clients with you, neither will we engage in your games. 

 

Also, let me take this opportunity to readdress my previous comments to you. You are not an approved Nevada Coatings applicator and we do believe you are a qualified waterproofing contractor experienced enough to opine on waterproof coatings.  Certainly you are not a qualified Waterproofing Expert and more importantly, you have not been asked by any manufacture in the waterproofing industry to opine on their coatings or police the industry in general.    What you are is an improperly licensed contractor who misinforms the public with a bogus web site  attempting to impugn the creditability of legitimate manufactures and contractors. 

 

Bill, why don't you do the right thing and inform your "client" that you are actually competing against Deck Tech and can only provide a biased opinion, which is wrought with misstatements and untruths?

 

I would also greatly appreciate if you would leave me and my company alone and delete us from your email contacts.

 

David

Subject: Inquiry

 

A client of ours hired Deck Tech to install Nevada Coating Systems Extra Tough system. 

 

When Deck Tech arrived they applied a product from buckets labeled Carboline. Carboline ET 

 

Can you confirm or deny that this is an authorized product that is a suitable substitute for NCS Extra Tough or is this an unapproved substitute? 

 

Does Nevada Coatings actually manufacture product or simply resell under a private label or open source?

 

Secondly, 

It appears that the mil thickness  applied is apx 8-12 mils instead of the 45 mils minimum as specified in the tech bulletin at nevadacoatings.com  

 

Thank you
