    Pattern of Complaint:
    On July 2, 16, 31 and August 6, 2019, BBB attempted to contact SJR Contracting regarding a high volume and a pattern of serious complaints. During the past 36 months, BBB received complaints regarding payments for work not performed or incomplete. The business failed to respond to seven complaints through BBB's complaint process. Complaints state the company collected deposits for work ranging from $6,250 to $89,000, with an average of $33,902.

    BBB notified SJR Contracting of these complaints and asked them for cooperation to eliminate the pattern. We asked for a written response outlining the steps it would take to avoid similar complaints in the future. 

    BBB also requested additional information, including: Federal Employer Identification number (EIN), the names and full contact information of the company's principal officers and management, copies of contracts, including if work is done by subcontractors and if customers are notified, the physical address of its principal office, copies of required competency and/or tradesman's licensing, and a completed BBB Standard Business Questionnaire.

    To date (August 6, 2019), the company responded that we need to reach out to an attorney handling this matter. We have not heard from SJR Contracting or an attorney.

    BBB is also unable to verify any contractor's or tradesman's licenses required for services such as stairlift installation. BBB urges consumers to use caution based on complaint activity and lack of responsiveness.

      We did enter into an agreement well over a year ago, but we have had discussions before the year was up, where the contractor, Scott Driscoll, has apologized and told us a variety of reasons that he delayed (to put it mildly) in responding back to us , and to doing any work, and that his partner lied and caused him business problems. He also cited a divorce from his wife as a reason and him being depressed and embarrassed of his situation (being taken advantage of by his partner), as reasons why he was delinquent in addressing my emails, calls and texts. Since then, we have tried to move forward to do the work, but again, he's totally non responsive at all again. Now, after paying about $12,000 as a deposit to buy materials he has told me that he has no credit and I have to buy the windows, etc. from another distributor, ADK Sales. Before buying the windows, I've requested his promise that he'll be available to remove and install the windows and he agreed, but has not responded in a long time since then. We've already invested over $12,000, over 2 years ago, and were promised that he would abide by our contract, but this is still continuing. I've asked for my money back and he says he can't do that, and yet he isn't doing any work either. I've paid about $12,000 for absolutely no work done and no promise of work to be done as he's not responding to phone calls, text messages, and emails. I've left many messages of all forms since mid December and no word back. I don't know what to do and just want to be done with this and have my money back at this point to pursue actually getting the work done by a reliable contractor. I'd also like to help prevent anyone else from having this done to them in the future.
