Is this something common? Is there an easy fix? I already offered a complete set of mechanical brakes but he turned me down.

Everyone has had good suggestions so far but I would like to ask if this is a newly installed system on an older one? If it is new it is possible the linkage is not allowing the master cylinder piston to retract far enough.
