COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Mike Black Construction, LLC, by and through its counsel,
SALZMANN HUGHES, P.C., and hereby makes claim against Defendants and in support
thereof avers the following:

3. On or about August 15, 2012,Defendants entered into a written Agreement with Plaintiff
for Plaintiff to perform restoration contracting work on their residential Property
following storm damage to the Property. A true and correct copy of this Agreement is
attached here to as Exhibit"A."
4. Pursuant to the Agreement, Plaintiff was to replace aluminum siding on three sides of the
home on the Property with vinyl siding, replace aluminum wrap on the home's windows,
replace the home's roof, and replace its downspouts.
5. Pursuant to the Agreement, Plaintiff was also to replace the roofs on the barn on the
Property.
6. Following the parties' entry into the written Agreement, Defendants and Plaintiff agreed
to modify its terms as outlined below, along with other less significant modifications, as
evidenced by the Invoice No. 1630, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit`B":
a. Plaintiff would wrap over the top of the existing metal wrap on the home's
windows to provide a better backer for current aluminum wrapping; and
b. Plaintiff would lath over the existing metal largest roof on the barn using 2x4 lath,
then installed new corrugated metal over the new lath.
7. Plaintiff professionally completed all work contemplated by the parties.
8. To date, however, Defendants have failed to fully compensate Plaintiff for its work.
Count I—Breach of Contract
9. Pursuant to the Agreement, Defendants were to compensate Plaintiff for its work in the
total amount of twenty thousand two hundred sixty-one dollars and twenty-five cents
($20,261.25).
10. Plaintiff performed all work required by the Agreement and subsequent modification and
completed its obligations on December 13, 2012.
11. To date, Defendants have paid Plaintiff eleven thousand five hundred thirty dollars and
fifty cents ($11,530.50).
12. Defendants have failed to provide Plaintiff with the remaining balance of eight thousand
seven hundred thirty dollars and seventy-five cents ($8,730.75) as negotiated and agreed
to by Defendants pursuant to the Agreement and modifications.
13. Defendants' failure to compensate Plaintiff for the full amount pursuant to the Agreement

thousand seven hundred thirty dollars and seventy-five cents ($8,730.75).
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Mike Black Construction LLC respectfully requests that this

thousand seven hundred thirty dollars and seventy-five cents ($8,730.75), along with all other
costs and fees this Court deems just.

at a minimum amount of twenty thousand two hundred sixty-one dollars and twenty-five
cents ($20,261.25), which includes the cost of labor and materials.
16. Defendants received and retained the benefit of this work.
17. Defendants have failed*to fully compensate Plaintiff for this work as outlined above.
18. Permitting Defendants to retain the value of the benefit of Plaintiff's work without fully
compensating Plaintiff unjustly enriches Defendants to Plaintiff's detriment.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Mike Black Construction LLC respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court enter judgment in its favor and against Defendants and impose all damages,
costs and fees this Court deems just.

56. No consideration exists to render the written document attached to Defendants'
Answer with New Matter and Counterclaims as Exhibit`B"enforceable.
57. Further, Defendants could not have relied upon this document when entering into
the contract with Plaintiff because Plaintiff did not provide the documents to Defendants until
they requested that he do so subsequent to the parties' entry into the contract at issue.
58. Plaintiff at no time misrepresented his abilities or competency as a contractor.
59. Defendants failed to follow the procedure set forth in the written document

Answer with New Matter and Counterclaims as Exhibit`B"were never triggered.

and agreed to by Defendants.

any alleged defects in the work performed.
64. Defendants removed and replaced the allegedly defective work provided by
Plaintiff before providing Plaintiff with an opportunity to inspect or evaluate the work or
Defendants' complaints.
65. Plaintiff cannot now inspect or evaluate the work or have a third party inspect or
evaluate the work.
66. Defendants' spoiliation of the only evidence of Plaintiff's work precludes Plaintiff
from being able to properly defend Defendants' counterclaims.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter judgment
in its favor and against Defendants and award Plaintiff all damages, costs and fees deemed just.
