Business ProfileforCarter Construction & Contracting LLC

On 9/25/2022 we contracted with Carter Construction & Contracting to build an approximately 24’ X 24’ pole garage attached to the south end of our current residence as per attached documents. We paid 50% ($12,789) upfront on that date by check. Cody C***** ( owner of Carter Construction…) said that money was to be used to purchase the supplies for the build, give subcontractors ( concrete, drainage, gutter and downspout and electrical) a retainer so they would be available when needed for this job and as a retainer for him, so as to put our project on his schedule. The estimated start date would be October 31, 2022 and the estimated completion would be 1 week as per attached documents. On October 14, 2022 Cody C***** contacted me by text that he was waiting on trusses and would be 1 to 2 weeks behind schedule with a new start date of November 14, 2022. I contacted him by text on November 11, 2022 looking for an update and was told it would be pushed back until November 23, 2022. I told him that was the day before Thanksgiving and he changed to November 28, 2022 as the “definite” start date. He didn’t show up to start work on project until December 1, 2022. They worked on 12/1 & 12/2 then didn’t show up again until December 16, 2022 at approximately 11:00am. and then worked on the job on 12/16 & 12/17. He pulled the siding off the south end of my house while doing the framing for the garage and the end of the house has been exposed to the weather ever since. He contacted me on December 18, 2022 for a draw of $4000 that we never spoke about but, I gave him $3000 on the understanding that he would be back the week after Christmas because as he stated he had no other work that week. He no showed until 1:21pm on January 11, 2023 and left the job at 3:28pm. performing minimal work progress. The trusses were incorrectly ordered and will have to be modified, he has not matched the exterior lines of the house on the east side and is not performing as a professional.
