Our basement was in and,we were finally ready to build April 15th.2011.Dan didnt show up!No call,Dan would call later April 25th. He said that he would show up next day. April 26th.Dan shows up.He looked at basement.Gave me bill from concrete company.Dan said that I HAD TO PAY HIM! HE SAID HE ORDERED IT! Thats why it was a little cheaper($500) I told Dan,that I wanted to pay concrete co.Because Dan was acting shady.Dan then was crying said that his,mom in Phila.Hosp.DYING .THATS WHY HE DIDNT SHOW UP BEFORE. Like an,idiot I wrote Dan a check for $8,842.25 so he could pay the basement co.WELL TO THIS DAY THE BASEMENT Co.HAS NOT BEEN PAID.HE TOOK THERE MONEY TO! We only found out that the basement company wasnt paid in June.Okay.Back to April.Dan said that he had to stay at his mothers bedside 24/7.

Thinking that we would give him the 2nd.draw. The check bounced.DAN IS LOOKING FOR WORK HE NEEDS MONEY.Dan has done this before and Dan will do this again.Do not hire this so called contractor more

Do Not Sign the Contract 7/29/2011

We contracted Daniel A McCord for new home construction. A few months after signing the contract, and providing multiple progress payment, Dan started making excuses as to why he was delayed in completing our work. Over and over he promised to show up and do work but never did. He said family members were dying (which was untrue), he said he was sick, there was always an excuse. Then he brough Shane Kae Tunbridge in, saying Shane Tunbridge would be our point of contact moving forward. Shane told us he was there to help resolve the issues. Shane and Dan promised delivery of materials and they were going to show up to do work, each day there was another excuse as to why the materials were not delivered and why they were not doing any work. Ultimately both Dan and Shane stopped returning phone calls and answering emails. \r \r We would never recommend Dan or Shane to anyone. Dan walked away from our job and took our money. Shane made commitments to make things right and did not follow through. If you sign a contract with either of them you are putting yourself at risk for low quality workmanship, and ultimately them taking your money and walking away. Read other site reviews that will substantiate this, particularly yahoo, and check the BBB. more
