Business ProfileforSt. Louis Foundation Repairs

****, the owner of the above-stated company, Took the initial payment on 4/1/2023 for yard drainage and basement crack repair contract. On 4/28/23 The total amount of basement crack repair was given to his three sons who repaired, not ****, the owner who signed the contract. He then took another high-paid job and left the yard drain incomplete, blaming 'rain daily in Chesterfield area' despite multiple texts and even a copy of the weather. He gave excuses for rain until last week; he texted back and stated he was going to install the drains on 9.12.23, demanding the second check of 2885.00, which is due upon start per contract( after the initial deposit of 2385. given on 4/1/23-which he drove to my workplace to pick up that check). This second payment was given at the start of work, and I questioned why he was not installing the drains per the contract. He stated" I found the blockage in the existing gutter and I can clear that and no need for drain installation. I asked him if he would refund me for not installing the drain, and confronted him on the other drain(used gravel instead of French drain); he became outraged and asked his sons to cover the excavated 2 feet drain deep area of almost 80-foot-long back with soil and left it unfinished. He also broke the back fence gate and the key to bringing in a bobcat without my permission, removed all concrete paved landscaping bricks on the north side of the house, and said he would not finish putting them back, either. Since the three sons who performed all labor are assumed not licensed, and ****, the owner never worked for the basement crack repair (charged 25,000), is also a 'ripoff' like this. I hired another contractor/ inspector who saw the errors the sons made and had to pay 8,000.00 dollars to repair/rescrewing of the nails, re-patching with epoxy (due to insufficient filling found on the cracks) in addition. All I ask for is a fair outcome to this issue, and please advise. Thank you
