PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
Now come the defendants, by their attorney, David C. Cleaver, and file these
Preliminary Objections and say:
MOTION FOR MORE SPECIFIC STATEMENT
The defendants are unable to answer the plaintiff's complaint for the reason that
paragraph 7 is not reproduced in its entirety in the complaint but merely has in the complaint
the following: "September 30. Plaintiff also added a finance charge of $397.70. A copy of
each is attached." The defendants are unable to answer the complaint in that they cannot file an
answer to either admit or deny the allegations of paragraph 7 without being fully informed of
the nature of the allegations of paragraph 7.
WHEREFORE, defendants pray your Honorable Court to strike the plaintiff s
complaint and direct the plaintiff to file an Amended Complaint setting forth the allegations of
paragraph 7.
And they will ever pray, etc.

ANSWER TO AMENDED COMPLAINT
Now come the defendants, by their attorney, David C. Cleaver, and answer plaintiff's
amended complaint and say:
1. Admitted.
2. It is admitted that defendants live at 775 Tristan Trail, Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania. The defendants do not live at 9485 Cumberland Highway, Pleasant Hall,
Pennsylvania.
3. Denied. The agreement between the plaintiff and the defendants began on July
10, 1998 when plaintiff submitted a written proposal to the defendants which they orally
accepted and which formed the basis of an agreement between the plaintiff and the defendants.
It is denied that negotiations continued until February 2, 1999. In addition, on August 14, 1998
plaintiff submitted a written proposal to supply bathroom vanity and vanity tops to the
defendants. A copy of the proposal for the kitchen cabinets is attached hereto as Exhibit A and
the proposal for the bathroom vanity and vanity tops is attached hereto as Exhibit B, both of
which are incorporated by reference herein.
4. Denied. The parties had no meeting at the defendant's place of business on
February 2.
5. Denied. After reasonable investigation, defendants are unable to form an
opinion as to when plaintiff ordered the manufacture of the kitchen cabinets and the vanities for
the bathrooms, but it is the defendants acceptance of the plaintiffs proposals attached hereto as
Exhibits A and B in 1998 that form the basis of the parties agreement.
V
6. It is admitted that James Guyer installed the cabinets, but the defendants believe
that the installation occurred prior to March of 1999 and not beginning in April as set fort
h in
paragraph
6. Further, the plaintiffwas to pay for installation ot'the kitchen cabinets, but the
plaintiff never did so. On the contrary, the defendants paid for the installation of the kitchen
cabinets, which installation was quoted to the defendants by the plaintiff at a cost of $400.00 to
5600.00 as per the plaintiff's proposal dated July 10, 1998.
7. It is admitted that an invoice was sent to the defendants on July 23, 1999 for
$19,323.54; defendants never received an invoice dated September 30, 1999 for $20,117.55
with a finance charge of $397.70. The defendants did receive an invoice from the plaintiff
dated August 30, 1999 for $19,323.54 with a finance charge of $289.86. It is denied that these
invoices are correct, it is denied that they were agreed upon, and it is denied that they are fair
and reasonable for the goods and services furnished by the plaintiff to the defendants, and, on
the contrary, the goods furnished were not properly constructed and the invoices submitted
were substantially in excess of the prices quoted and proposed by the plaintiff to the
defendants.
8. Denied. The charges were not reasonable and were not agreed upon by the
defendants. On the contrary, the prices agreed upon by the defendants are set forth in the
plaintiffs proposals attached hereto as Exhibits A and B.
9. Admitted.
10. It is admitted that the defendants refused to pay the balance claimed of
$5,921.10, but it is denied that this amount is due. It is further denied that any balance due is
fair and reasonable. The total amount quoted by the plaintiff to the defendants for the fair
market value of the goods and services to be rendered by the plaintiff as set forth in Exhibits A
and B totals $14,483.11, and the defendants have already paid the plaintiff $14,594. 15, and
defendants therefore deny that any further amount is due to the plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, defendants pray that your Honorable Court dismiss the plaintiffs
complaint and enter judgment in favor of the defendants.
NEW MATTER
11. On January 10, 1998 the plaintiff gave the defendants a proposal to supply and
nstall kitchen cabinets at a price ranging from $7,700.00 to $8,100.00 and to supply and install
itchen countertops at a price ranging from $3,100.00 to $4,200.00. The aforesaid proposal
vas in writing and dated July 10, 1998. It was never signed by the defendants, but the
efendants believed and therefore aver that the prices quoted were fair and reasonable and upon
the basis of said proposal, the defendants instructed the plaintiff to proceed with preparation of
the kitchen cabinets and countertops. As per the plaintiffs proposal, the defendants selected
the Swanstone kitchen countertop at a quoted price of $3,100.00. The aforesaid proposal by the
plaintiff to the defendants is attached hereto, made a part hereof; incorporated by reference
herein, and marked Exhibit A.
12. On August 14, 1998, the plaintiff gave the defendant a proposal to supply four
(4) bathroom vanities and vanity tops, plus the make-up area, for a total of$3,033.1 1, plus
supply mirrors and mirror frames at a quote of $125.00 per mirror. A copy of said proposal is
attached hereto, made a part hereof, incorporated by reference herein and marked Exhibit B.
The defendants believe that these prices quoted by the plaintiff were fair and reasonable and
defendants told plaintiff to proceed to make and install said materials and believed that the
quoted prices formed the basis of an agreement with the plaintiff for the delivery of vanities
and countertops, mirrors, and the make-up area.
13. The defendants never agreed to pay a finance charge of 1-1/2% per month upon
any unpaid balance and believe and therefore aver that such charges are uncollectible under
applicable Pennsylvania law.
14. The plaintiff supplied two (2) mirrors to the defendants.
15. Based upon the plaintiffs proposal and quotes, the highest cost of the work
performed and supplied by the plaintiff would be $8,100.00 for the kitchen cabinets and
$3,100.00 for the Swanstone kitchen countertop, $3,033.1 1 for the four (4) bathroom vanities
and tops and the make-up area, and $250.00 for two (2) mirrors and mirror frames, for a total of
$14,483.11, which defendants believed would be the total charges due and payable to the
plaintiff based upon their proposals and quotes, and which defendants believe to be the fair and
reasonable value of the product and services installed and supplied by the plaintiff.
16. The plaintiff billed the defendants for the work proposed and quoted in a total
amount of $19,117.82, or 54,634.71 more than quoted and proposed by the plaintiff.
17. Two (2) vanity tops for two (2) of the bathrooms were defective and had to be
returned and replaced and the plaintiff failed to properly construct the cabinets in the kitchen.
As a result of the defects in the kitchen cabinets, the refrigerator panels had to be reconstructed,
the cabinet above the refrigerator needed to be reconstructed, the cabinet above the stovetop
needed to be rebuilt, the door to the cabinet to the right of the stove needed to be rebuilt,
molding had to be added around the microwave oven, pocket doors around the appliance
garage were not constructed properly and needed to be repaired and/or reconstructed, and a
shelf in the wine rack was installed improperly.
18. The plaintiff corrected all of the above mistakes without indicating to the
defendants that they would be charged for correcting the errors in the plaintiffs work, but the
defendants believe, and therefore aver, that the plaintiff has billed the defendants for repairing,
reconstructing, and reinstalling the kitchen cabinets and the bathroom vanities as set forth in
paragraph 17 above, billing the defendants for time, labor, and materials for correcting the
plaintiffs mistakes, all of which the defendants believe accounts for the increase in the
plaintiffs billings over and above the proposals and quotes previously made by the plaintiff to
the defendants.

NO. 99-7493 CIVIL TERM
V.
DENNIS E. BLACK and
TRINA M. BLACK
ANSWER TO NEW MATTER
11. Denied. Plaintiff did not know the Defendants on January 10, 1998. Plaintiff
did not meet Defendants until June of 1998. Plaintiff gave an estimate in June 1998 to
Defendants according to Defendants' description of what was wanted, kitchen cabinets
and countertops. Defendants gave Plaintiff the go ahead to build and supply cabinets.
There was never a signed proposal. Unsigned proposals constitute billing on a time and
material basis. Had the proposal been signed, there would have been amended proposals
for changes in the first layout. No molded sink was included in first estimate of
swanstone countertop. The original discussion in June of 1998 did not include a molded
sink. The company Plaintiff employs to do her work spoke with Defendants upon
templating Defendants' top and Defendants requested a molded sink. Plaintiff was
unaware of Defendants getting a molded sink until Plaintiff received the bill for such.
Admitted that Defendants' Exhibit "A" is the correct billing for the work performed.
12. Denied. An agreement was made to supply four vanities and tops, but five
were provided. The agreement was changed to beveled mirrors after an estimate of $125.
was given. Changes in dimensions according to the blueprint also changed estimates.
Defendants request larger vanities which cost more money.
13. Denied. Plaintiffs invoices beginning February 10, 1999 contained a writing
that there was a finance charge on unpaid accounts.
14. Denied. Plaintiff supplied two beveled mirrors.
15. Denied. Defendants made extensive changes in their requests from their
initial contact with Plaintiff in June 1998 until the work was completed, including
changes in sizes of cabinets, a molded sink, additional vanities, and beveled mirrors, etc.
16. Denied. Paragraph 15 is incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
Admitted that Plaintiff billed $19,117.82. See Defendants' Exhibit "B".
17. Denied. The vanity tops were not defective. Defendants claimed they did not
match her decor. The cabinets were properly constructed and installed but Defendants
did not like the design. Defendant requested changes after construction and installation
of the cabinets which resulted in reconstruction and added costs. Defendants requested
the door to the right of the stove to be hinged in the opposite direction. Defendants
requested the pocket doors around the appliance garage changed. Defendant requested a
wine rack to be taken out and then requested it be reinstalled.
18. Denied that Plaintiff made mistakes for which they charged Defendants.
Defendants requested changes which resulted in reconstruction, not repairs. Further,
Plaintiff advised Defendants on several occasions that the price for the work would not be
as originally discussed in June 1998.
ANSWER TO COUNTERCLAIM
19. Denied. It was proposed, as with all kitchens Plaintiff supplies, that if
Plaintiff installs the cabinets, this is the amount it would cost to install the cabinets.
Plaintiff did not install the cabinets. Therefore, Plaintiff did not charge for installation of
the cabinets. Plaintiff did, however, help the installation crew install some but Plaintiff
did not charge for those services. It was agreed by Defendants' general contractor, James
Guyer, that he would install the cabinets.
WHEREFORE, counterclaim Defendants request the court to dismiss the
counterclaim.
