This complaint is regarding a construction contractor, ********* **********************. He was hired in or around starting in January 2023. He started work on my house within a couple of months. He gave me information about his business and I thought that I had done my due diligence in investigating him. he provided business license, previous work history and a number of other things that eased my mind regarding his competenacy. He first requested money to file for permits with the county/city. I found that none were applied for. Initially, he brought men on the site and started the work. they tore down my stoop and concrete steps of the back. this left holes in my concrete walls, He then tore down the bricks from the back wall. This left my inner walls exposed with holes to the outside. He had a framer to come in to frame up the back extension. This was not completed and water entered into my house each time it rained. The plan was to create an apartment in my enclosed basement. His work left my basement in a disaster with gapping hole through the basement floor into the dirt under the floor, as well as electric work not being up to standard. Mr. ********************** slowed working on the project, and soon stopped coming to the worksite at all. I had to hire others to build some temporary walls to keep rain out of my walls. The openings he left in my house allowed me to look from inside my kitchen and bathrooms to the sky. Mr. ********************** had another contractor in to do the roofing in early April 2024. A building inspector states that the shingles are already falling off in May 2024.*When confronted about all my concerns, he provided me with a schedule for finishing project. This was in December 2023. He never finished nor adhered to schedule.*He provided a letter in May 2024, stating that he would repay some of the $62,000 that he spent from my funds. He has not.*He has not attempted to correct any of the destruction to my property. J. ********************** has done this habitualy.
