Cumberland County Bar Association 2 Liberty Avenue Carlisle, PA 17013 (717) 249-3166 2 MICHAEL J. NAVITSKY, and TINA M. NAVITSKY, Plaintiffs IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNA. NO.2010-4966 V. : CIVIL ACTION DOUGLAS W. THOMPSON, t/d/b/a BREACH OF CONTRACT THOMPSON CUSTOM REMODELING, and NEGLIGENCE Defendant COMPLAINT 1. Plaintiffs, Michael J. Navitsky and Tina M. Navitsky, are persons of the full age of majority, married to one another, and residents of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 2. Defendant, Douglas W. Thompson, is a person of the full age of majority and resident of Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 3. At all material times herein, Defendant owned, operated, and maintained a residential construction/home improvement business, and traded and did business as Thompson Custom Remodeling. 4. On or about August 1, 2006, Plaintiffs entered into a written contract with Defendant to remove the existing backyard wooden deck of their home and replace it with a larger composite one, construct a flagstone patio and walkway and create a garden area surrounding the new deck and patio. A copy of the contract documents are attached hereto as Exhibit A pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1019(1). 3 5. Defendant began demolition and construction thereafter and completed the project in January of 2007. 6. Plaintiffs paid Defendant $12,470 to begin the work in August of 2006 and another $5,500 at its completion in January of 2007. 7. The deck and patio appeared satisfactory at first. 8. However, in or about July of 2009, during a rain storm that produced several inches of rain in a short period of time, rain water entered the basement of Plaintiffs' home. 9. Thereafter and twice in 2010, during rain storms that again produced several inches of rain in short periods of time, rain water entered the basement of the Plaintiff's home. 10. The water that entered Plaintiffs' home in 2009 and 2010 was due entirely and directly to the manner in which Defendant constructed the patio. 11. Defendant constructed the patio without grading it away from Plaintiffs' home. 12. To the contrary, the patio was graded toward Plaintiffs' home, thereby creating a gutter for rain water to drain toward the home's foundation. 13. The manner in which Defendant constructed the patio caused and continues to cause water to enter the basement during heavy rains, such as occurred in 2009 and 2010. 14. The patio therefore needs to be repaired or replaced so as to direct rain water away from Plaintiffs' foundation. 15. In or about May of 2010, the composite deck, including boards, steps, and fascia, that Defendant constructed began to warp, bend, buckle, crack, split and cup. The railings installed by Defendant around the deck began to bow. 4 16. The manufacturer of the decking material conducted an investigation and concluded that the aforesaid problems were caused by the manner in which Defendant constructed the deck, stating that: "Specifically, there is no ventilation under the deck to allow for the product to expand and contract." 17. The deck, steps, fascia, and railings therefore need to be replaced. 18. Plaintiffs therefore demand a sufficient amount of money from Defendant to repair or replace the patio and to remove and replace the deck, steps, fascia, and railings. CAUSE OF ACTION I - NEGLIGENCE 19. Paragraphs one through eighteen of this Complaint are incorporated herein by reference. 20. Defendant was negligent in the following particulars: a. Constructing a patio without grading it away from the home's foundation, thereby allowing for the accumulation of water to drain toward and into Plaintiffs' home; b. Constructing a deck with no ventilation under the deck to allow for the product to expand and contract, thereby causing the deck boards, steps and fascia to warp, bend, buckle, crack, split and cup and railings to bow; c. Constructing a deck with no or insufficient space between the boards, steps and fascia, thereby causing the deck boards, steps and fascia to warp, bend, buckle, crack, split and cap, and railings to bow; and d. Constructing a deck in such a fashion as to cause the deck boards, steps, and fascia to warp, bend, buckle, crack, slip and cup and railings to bow. 21. Defendant's negligence caused harm to the Plaintiffs as set forth herein. 22. Defendant's negligence caused Plaintiffs' damages in the amount of $16,170 which was the amount of money paid to Defendant for the deck and patio, plus any other money necessary to repair or replace the patio and to remove and replace the deck, steps, fascia, and railings, and claim is made therefore. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand judgment against the Defendant for an amount less than Fifty-Thousand ($50,000) dollars, for interest and delay damages and all legal and equitable relief deemed appropriate by this Honorable Court. CAUSE OF ACTION II - BREACH OF CONTRACT 23. Paragraphs one through eighteen of this Complaint are incorporated herein by reference. 24. The written contract between Plaintiffs and Defendant specified that all work was to be completed in a substantial workmanlike manner. 25. Defendant breached his contact with Plaintiffs and the express and implied warranties of workmanlike performance in the following particulars: a. Constructing a patio without grading it away from the home's foundation, thereby allowing for the accumulation of water to drain toward and into Plaintiffs' home; b. Constructing a deck with no ventilation under the deck to allow the product to expand and contract, thereby causing the deck boards, steps, and fascia to warp, bend, buckle, crack, split and cup and railings to bow; c. Constructing a deck with no or insufficient space between the boards, steps and fascia, thereby causing the deck boards, steps and fascia to warp, bend, buckle, crack, split and cap, and railings to bow; and 6 d. Constructing a deck in such a fashion as to cause the deck boards, steps, and fascia to warp, bend, buckle, crack, slip and cup and railings to bow. 26. Defendant's breach of contract and express and implied warranties caused harm to the Plaintiffs as set forth herein. 27. Defendant's breach of contract and express and implied warranties caused Plaintiffs' damages in the amount of $16,170.00 which was the amount of money paid to Defendant for the deck and patio, plus any other money necessary to repair or replace the patio and to remove and replace the deck, steps, fascia, and railings, and claim is made therefore. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand judgment against the Defendant for an amount less than Fifty-Thousand ($50,000) Dollars, for interest and delay damages and for all legal and equitable relief deemed appropriate by this Honorable Court.
