Willie James Pritchard- Home Improvement Contractor (Lic No., HICN 0009590) of J.D.M Development Co., signed Contractor Agreement with Owner of property located at XXXX-XX North 37th Street on August 16, 2011. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Pritchard was obligated to complete entire scope of work within ten (10) business days after acceptance of the contract. Owner provided Mr. Pritchard with cashier's check in the amount of $4,000.00 as down payment to commence with work on property.
-Mr. Pritchard has failed to start and complete work orders on contract.
-Mr. Pritchard has refused to communicate with Owner regarding project delays.
-Mr. Pritchard has used less than $200.00 in material/labor and refuse to refund the advance payment received by him on August 16, 2011.
As a result, Owner has been unable to rent out reference property and is losing significant rental income in excess of $1,200.00 per month.
Mr. Pritchard's conduct is in violation of:
Administrative Code ATCP 110.02 relating to home improvement practices.
Theft by Contractor Wis. Stats. 779-02(5) and 943.20.
I do not recommend using this Contractor and would advise all parties seek legal action if you sustained deep financial loss. This matter is still pending and all avenues will be considered to resolve the contractual dispute including, but not limited to; license review by the City of Milwaukee, filing a civil and criminal complaint.
I have done business with many contractors in the Milwaukee County area on rental properties and hope my experience with JDM Development Co, aka Willie James Prichard, helps you make a it wise decision.
