      *************************** ************** email ******************************** *** resealed our redwood deck in Feb/March 2023. Our seal on our wood deck started peeling off after only 8 months. I contacted *** in December of 2023 telling him the deck was peeling. He has pushed me off and it is now April of 2024. He came over and admitted he was in the wrong and said he used a bad product. He said he would come fix it and if it were his house he would be mad too. He has put this off for so long my red wood deck is deteriorating. He was supposed to redo the job starting 4/22/24. He told me he didnt have insurance so he couldn't do the job. He agreed to give me my money back. He texted me on Sunday April 21st 2024 saying he would give me a $1000 tomorrow and then will write a contract for the remaining amount. *** has now BLOCKED me. I have a contract from Frontline Wood Finishing Inc that *** signed. I have emails, text messages from him stating he would give me my money back. He offers a 10 year warranty but now he is hiding. I have filed a complaint with the *** as he is an unlicensed contractor. He never listed on his contract that he is unlicensed which he is supposed to do. The job was also over $1000 so he legally needs to be licensed. *** is contracting and advertising without a license. *** asked for his checks to be made out to him personally instead of his business Front Line Wood Finishing **** He told my wife that his bank told him to do it this way to save on taxes. We made one check out to *** and the other check out to Frontline. I have reported this to AZ **** of ******* for TAX FRAUD. I have sent them both copies of the cashed checks with his signatures on them. ******************************* business Front Line Wood Finishing needs to be shut down.

      *************************** is a THIEF / SCAM ARTIST. He will tell you what you want to hear to get the job. The contractor ***************** when he trying to get the job IS NOT THE SAME *** you will get once you hire him. He is SLOPPY, LAZY, CARELESS and has NO RESPECT FOR YOUR PROPERTY. EVERYTHING *** said he wouldnt do he did. Our seal on our wood deck started peeling off after only 8 months. I contacted *** in November of 2023 telling him the deck was peeling. He has pushed me off and it is now April of 2024. He came over and admitted he was in the wrong and said he used a bad product. He said he would come fix it and if it were his house he would be mad too. He has put this off for so long my red wood deck is deteriorating. He agreed to give me my money back. He texted me on Sunday April 21st 2024 saying he would give me a $1000 tomorrow and then will write a contract for the remaining amount. He has now shut his phone off and not returning my calls. He offers a so called 10 year warranty but that is an absolute joke. Good luck trying to get him to commit to any warranty let alone a 10 year warranty. He will push you off. H*** tell you he has had surgery on every part of his body and give you a list of excuses when he runs out of body parts. He will even lie and tell you his wife has died. *************************** is not a licensed contractor. He is listed on the ***** ********************************* FRONT LINE WOOD FINISHING ***** ADVERTISING WITHOUT A LICENSE.I hope people read this and they DO NOT HIRE HIM. He should not be allowed to steal peoples money. People do your homework and do not hire *** or believe his lies. *************************** is a CON MAN.
