I entered into a contract with Mayeaux Construction of Covington, Louisiana to construct a new residence for myself and my family. We lost everything as the result of hurricane Katrina, and decided to re-locate to the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain. I purchased this home from Mayeaux Construction in July, 2006. Over the next three years my family (wife and three children under the age of seven) and I suffered numerous health-related issues including, but not limited to, respiratory ailments, dizziness, skin rashes, nosebleeds and chronic fatigue. In addition, numerous electronics/appliances failed (A/C coil three times, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator twice, washing machine, plasma television and doorbell). I advised Phil Mayeaux on June 25, 2009 that I had discovered the presence of Chinese-made drywall in this residence. According to Phil, the Chinese-made drywall must have “slipped through”. I have not been contacted by Phil Mayeaux or any other representative of Mayeaux Construction regarding this issue. It appears as if Phil Mayeaux is attempting to shirk responsibility by hiding behind his attorney. According to Mayeaux Construction’s website, “our new homes are built with the utmost care and attention. The key to a well built home is the use of excellent subcontractors and materials, that are overseen with careful attention to detail. Whether it’s a $150,000 home or a $700,000 home, my customers get the same attention and piece of mind throughout the entire process.” Obviously this is false advertisement, as the construction of my residence was not overseen with care and attention to detail. Furthermore, I would not qualify Chinese-made drywall as an “excellent” material despite Phil Mayeaux’s claim that only excellent materials are utilized. Best of luck to all who have been victimized by contractors who utilized Chinese-made drywall to construct homes.
