    Will not answer the telephone or call me. I've left messages, no response.

    No show. He has breached the contract! I have a copy of contract if you need it. And also, Ervin broke my lamp. $200. 

    On Oct 21, 2023 I hired a handyman name Ervin's Handyman Service thru the BBB. He told me he needed $500.00 down before he would do the job and to pay fo rmaterial and his help. He also said he would start 10-26-2023. On 10-26-23 he and helper Rob came out and did some work tearing out rotted wood around windows, replaceing wood. Left in a hurry said they were going to lunch and never came back. Now its 11-2-23 not finish. 

    Here are more clear details. On Oct 21, 2023 I paid Ervin $500.00 down to tear out rotted wood around windows that needed and replace with good wood and cap with metal. Also, cap metal around windows windows that were not rotted plus cap w/metal around 1 door (see contract) a total of 5 windows and 1 door. Finish date Nov 2. After job was completed I was to give him another $500.00, bal due. Ervin never finished the job as of Nov 2, 2023. See attached documents

    BEWARE… False promises, excuses and poor quality work To summarize a long story…. Simply read the complaint filed in June 2022 about how Mr Ervin sent questionably qualified people to do the work, started, but never finished anything, and what was completed was done incorrectly. Just like the customer that filed a complaint with the BBB, calls/texts made, no shows when promised, offered to have him return a portion of money given; he chose no. All he was concerned about was how much money he was going to be paid…he’d already received $1000 (+$200 for additional materials) . I am unable to file a complaint with the BBB because I am taking him to court!
