Business ProfileforThe Odd Job

I hired "The Odd Job" to do a landscape job for us involving: > Burry pipe from down spout to drain at end of backyard. > A walkway (stepping stones). > River rock around walkway and backyard pool. > River rock on front of house and between houses. I e-transferred ****** ****** $1000 of the quoted $3100 on July 13 to start the work. On the 21st ****** insisted that he has no money to buy plastic edges and asked me for $500. I transferred him another $200. To date, July 22, the contractor has not been here working except a few hours. Every morning there is a new story for not showing up to the job site. He promised to bring helpers to finish the job but he said they keep cancelling on him. ****** failed to deliver on each of his many promises to make things up or get part of the job done. The total time he and his one helper spent working here is less than a day of work. He brought us enough stress that today, coming 3 hours late and not prepared to lay the walkway stones as he promised, I decided to ask him to take his shovels and spades and leave. I am totally disappointment with ******'s treatment to us and his dishonesty. The little work that was done, > Buried pipe from down spout > Laid fabric over a 4x24 feet distance has to be redone as it is not to our satisfaction at all. The pipe is not draining water properly, it has visible high spots. And the Fabric is the cheap type that will disintegrate quickly. I therefore ask this business (******) to refund me $1,000. He can keep $200 as they brought here a roll of fabric and 8 plastic edges. the $200 should pay for the material they brought, their gas and more. Note that the address for this business with *** is old, their address as it appears on the quote is, **** ********* ****** *** ********* ** ********** ** *** *** ************************** ******* ************ **** ***************
