    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Unanswered
    I agreed to the written estimate and work commenced Oct 22/2021 and as per contract to end Nov 1st 2021. Labor and materials are included in the total cost of $6780 plus HST of $789. After 7 days, nothing was completed, every area were starts, there is now a hole in the ceiling, the support beam was removed and not replaced, structure is now compromised, missing floors , casings, frames, mouldings and stairs end sawed off and now unsafe, that I fell down one day. There are no materials to complete the renovation. Of the whole work only about 20 % was done. Except the bedrooms, the whole interior of the house is a total mess. He was paid 85% of the cost. The Contractor stop communication and unreachable, did not come to continue work after the 6th day. After I told him that I fell down the stairs due to his failure to ensure it is safe after he sawed off the edges and left gaps and holes. I got hurt and I asked him to finish repairs on the stairs, instead he and his wife worked for 2 hrs laying a few slabs of laminated floors, then left without saying a word. He also got angry when I told him that no material delivery as he says it will come that day by which I stayed home all day waiting. *************************************************************************************. ******************************************************************************************************************* The project is to lay laminated wood on floors, door frames, build a coat closet, kitchen pantry & 4 shelves, change counter,put sink. backsplash, kitchen light fixtures, base moudings, remove wallpaper and paint kitchen walls. None of such work was completed.

    Not a licensed business (No HST number) but charge you HST
    GTA design and reno to build us 2 semi-circle booths.
    Deposit made on January 17th for $2500.
    To be completed February 4th, 2022. Nothing was completed and money was ******, forcing me into a civil suit.
    His list of excuses after deposit payment:
    January 19 - "I'm running behind. Can't make it"
    January 21 - "My wife has an appointment now. Can't make it"
    January 22 - "I got hit by a plow. Can't make it"
    January 25 - Came to remeasure finally "will start the booths this weekend 29/30" that ONLY GIVE HIM 5 DAYS TO COMPLETE 2 HUGE SEMI CIRCLE BOOTHS - IT TAKES A MONTH+
    February 3 - (day before due date) I sold my seating to make room for booths
    February 4 - (due date) - "Material has not arrived yet" (so how was he going to start the booths the weekend before with no material in front of him?)
    February 11 - "Only half the material arrived"
    February 19 - "The entire family has covid" "material this week"
    February 24 - (I asked him to cancel the order because he voided the contract and was making no effort to start the job) he will refund $2500 no later than Wednesday (so March 2 now)
    March 2 - NO MONEY. "when I get the refund in 7-10 days you will get it". (so March 5 now)
    March 3 - "I need 7 more days for a cheque to clear" (so March 10 now) and "I'm taking $400 for restocking fees" (agreed to $2500 but changed his mind and yesterday he didn't have the cheque till Saturday, March 5, but today he has it and is waiting for it to clear. Does not have invoices for purchase and return of material, therefore there should be no restocking fee.)
    March 10 - PAYMENT DUE - no payment. No communication
    March 15 - I sent an email/text requesting the money - NO payment no communication

    NO work done. No communication (Pictures, email, text, or phone calls). Just ****, excuses, and ****** money. He had no intention of building my booths or returning my money. Now I have a lawsuit. More unneeded stress.
