Business ProfileforRichard Eugley Builders

On May 18th, 2023, I, ******************* and my husband, *********************** entered into a contract with Richard Eugley Builders, ************ to re-build our basement after some flooding after a storm at the beginning of May. We signed a contract on May 18th for a total of $2,600.00 and gave Mr ********************** $1,300.00 deposit. He stated he would start the project towards the end of May which would consist of him removing old ********************* putting new sheet rock up, taping, mudding and priming sheet rock for painting and doing an Epoxy Floor. And also painting the trim and door on our garage. After completion, we would give him the remaining $1,300. Mr. ********************** started the painting of the Garage trim, but never finished. He did not show up at the end of May for the basement project. After contacting him, he stated he would be there on June 8th as he was running behind on another job. Still, Mr. ********************** did not show up. We contacted him again, and he stated he would be there June 13th because he was sick. He then said he would be there on June 19th. He showed up for just a couple of hours to take down some of the old Sheetrock. He left a big mess and all of his tools in our basement. He never returned. We contacted him several times and he always said he was going to be back tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. My husband and I picked up his mess and had to dispose of the old sheet rock at our local transfer station costing us more money. We had to hire someone else to finish the garage ************ We hired another contractor to construct our basement which cost us additional money. Mr. ********************** called my husband at the beginning of August stating he wanted his tools back. My husband stated that once he refunded us the money that he took from us, we would gladly give him back his tools. Mr. ********************** contacted my husband at the end of August and they agreed on $1,000 refund taking into consideration the few hours of labor and material that he purchased less the expenses we incurred to dispose of construction debris, and he could have his tools. Mr ********************** said he would stop by on August 24th, with our refund and to pick up his tools, but he never showed up or contacted us. His tools still remain in our basement. He strung us along for months while our basement remained in chaos. By the time we realized he was never going to come back all other contractors were booked up for the summer and now our basement, which is also part of our living space (office, library and gym) that we have been unable to use since May. This is now scheduled to Be completed at the end of September by someone else. We would like a refund of $1,000 as agreed on and for Mr ********************** to come pick up his tools as soon as possible.
