Pull into the driveway at John and Julie Ridley's house and you'll notice large patches of red siding are missing from their house and garage. What was supposed to be a dream retirement home for the couple is now a daily reminder of what went wrong.
Pull into the driveway at John and Julie Ridley’s house and you’ll notice large patches of red siding are missing from their house and garage.
What was supposed to be a dream retirement home for the couple is now a daily reminder of what went wrong.
“Your first thought is ‘Oh my God I can’t believe, I can’t believe that we had this happen to us,” said Julie Ridley.
The couple bought their house in Lincoln, New Brunswick in March 2022.
Soon after, they hired Brandon Boudreau of BGB Construction Inc. and Boudreau Construction Ltd. to build a second storey atop their garage. The vision was to add a large master bedroom, an ensuite bathroom and extend their living room.
Boudreau came recommended by a local business the Ridleys trusted and offered a quote lower than anyone else — he texted he could do the job for $70,000.
The Ridleys asked for a contract and began to e-transfer Boudreau installments of $2,000.
