We had ******************* come to our home to give an estimate on new front stairs on 9/12/22. He provided a written estimate and we gave him the required deposit in a check of $580.00. He showed up on 9/27 to do some work and asked to give some money for labor and we gave him $200 cash which he wrote a receipt for. He showed up again on 10/5/22 saying he had to buy some materials and asked for some more money. We were hesitant but gave him $100 for labor and $75 for materials in cash. Since then he has not been back to our home. We tried to contact him on 10/9/22 and no response. We were getting nervous so we sent a certified letter to his home on 10/20. Finally heard from him on 10/22 and said he would be at the house shortly. He also mentioned he received something from my husband in the mail and wanted to know what it was. We told him that we sent him a letter because /we had not heard from him. He sent me pictures of veneer on 10/27/22 and said he was coming to the house to wrap up the mesh and finish installing it on risers. We went back and forth via text for a few days and on 10/29/22 he stated he was picking up the stock and wanted to get the job done and he would give an itemized of cost. Never heard from him. We texted him on 11/11/11/22 and he texted back on 11/12/22 saying he would definitely wrap up the job this week. It is now 11/30/22 and we have texted and called him several and no response. We have given him $955.00 to date and is not responding to text, phone, email or certified letter. We fully believe he has no intention of finishing this project and we need your help.Contract Date:20220912 Amount of Contract:1400.00 Amount paid on contract:955.00 Date work started:20220927 Date work ceased:2022****
