Hired Joe to paint our ceilings in our house, and to paint the crown molding around the top of the ceiling. Joe was also going to remove all the popcorn on the ceiling and was patching some areas that needed it as well on the ceiling. Total cost of job was estimated at $9440.00. Joe asked for a deposit of a $1000.00 at which point I **** * ******** gave him a $1000.00 on September 15th in good faith for this job to commence on or about November 6th. On September 30th, 15 days after giving Joe the deposit for the job to paint/remove popcorn from my ceiling I had decided to hold off on the job and requested my deposit back. On September 30th, I had a conversation with Joe in regards to my deposit being returned at which point Joe told me he no longer had my money to give back as he paid his employees for a different job. Joe also stated to me that he would need 30 days to return my deposit. I **** * ******** told Joe Nowakowski that was unacceptable and that the deposit of $1000.00 was my money and he had no right spending it or paying his employees for a different job that had no bearing with my deposit. I gave Joe till the 16th of October to pay my deposit back as there is nothing on the invoice stating that I forfeit my deposit if I decide to cancel the job. On October 15th, a day before the the 16th which I requested my deposit back Joe stated to me and my partner that we were ridiculous and that he has no legal obligation to pay me back my deposit of a $1000.00.
