R & B Contracting

Stole my money, stole others, even Lowes stopped him from returning ""extra"" supplies that people paid for. Smooth talker but a con on probation. Real POS. Pros: Great Con Artist Cons: Everything else more

The rating should be ""no stars"" unless the owner of R&B... does a complete 180 degree turn and comes to the honest side of trying to be a contractor. The story is too hugh to tell all here. I feel it is my obligation to try to warn anyone by any avenue about this company. Beware, once R&B... gets close to legal trouble the company will probably change the name and/or move. (NOTE:the phone number in Warrensburg is currently not in service.) It does seem you need to investigate any company you contract with. R&B... was contracted with in September 2009 to remove and replace a tile roof. Before that job began, we asked R&B... to bid the same house painting. R&B... went off happily that day with 1/2 of the labor as retainer money. R&B... showed up three days late to start the work. Majority of R&B... laborers were young and untrained. One of R&B... owners said our tile roof was a ""training"" roof for his workers. We did not contract to become an educational institution; but we did get an education about R&B... Other items: no supervision of the workers or inspection of the work by senior workers/ shoddy work--left knotholes in the wood sheathing open and not properly, covered with metal below the roofing felt (did repair some inadequately after it was brought to their attention)/ not much respect for property or materials (walked on the tile roof breaking many good pieces)/ did not use safety ropes at required times/ did not have proper materials at the needed moment thus causing delays/ threatened to charge for extra time for removing dirt from the surfaces on the tile where an adhesive was to be applied/ and many more items. Pros: good snake oil salesman Cons: snake oil salesman, delays, lack of organization,shoddy work more

Hired to rebuild a roof trusses and all. They measured and ordered everything for the job including the metal roofing. Double bills for items, they were paid, well overpaid actually, and then claim they didnt contract to put on the roofing. They left us hanging out to dry, they never even finished the closing in of the roof, kept giving excuses as to why they cant come to work today, and then the final excuse was the payroll for that job has been paid out and he doesnt have any money to put new guys out there to do the work. NOT OUR PROBLEM. Now we have been taking bids from other contractors only to find out these idiots measured everything wrong and ordered all the wrong sizes!!!!!!! They are complete idiots, they cant add, they cant measure, and they certainly do not know how to operate a service to the public. The owner is like dealing with Cybil, the man has more personalities than she did. Some are quite violent. He is also a convicted felon and people need to investigate anyone they hire anymore, dont take their word for anything, if they are looking at making a buck from you have them investigated. Go to casenet on the MO government courts website and search for those people. Dont get caught on the raw end of a deal like we did!!!!!!!!!! Cons: Taking money and not completing the work. more
