General Contractors (LSM) to renovate a historic residence. LSM subcontracted to Henry Isaacs Home Remodeling (leases) to perform roong work as part of the renovations.

LSM and Isaacs attempted to x the problems, but were unsuccessful and subsequently abandoned the project. Logan-Baldwin hired other contractors to x the problem and sued LSM, lsaacs, and Brewster for breach of contract.
