This POOR EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING was contracted to fix my front and back stairs, re-face the foundation of my home, install 4 basement windows and to remove and replace the front fence (entrance and driveway) and reface the driveway. He started the job around July 11, 2013 he broke up my front and back stairs, tore up the concrete in the front and along the side and back of my house and simply left. He just stuck the 4 windows in the wall - no caulk or installation, they're not level; no sills, NOTHING. Really poor work. He gave all types of excuses for not coming - a spider bite, his workers were in jail for fighting, he was busy on another job, he was on vacation (with my money of course) for over a month, but I have not heard from him since mid- August. This man left my house a wreck. We had to climb in and out of our house for the last 3 months and I paid him more than half -- $6500 for the inconvenience. All of the old fence and materials that he took out was left strewn all over my yard. The worst part of this is that he is the cousin of a friend of my son. If he does this to people that know him, I feel sorry for someone who isn't an acquaintance. BUYER BEWARE. This man is a crook of the worst kind. He has now changed his phone number but I am sure from what I have read in other complaints here and on the internet, he is doing business somewhere. His job is to STEAL from honest hard working people. Don't make the same mistake! Nobody has $6500 to be taken by deceit just like that. He should be ashamed of himself. All the MESS he made has to be redone by a reputable contractor.
