Business ProfileforToledo Deck and Fence Services

On June 9th I signed a contract with Pine River Deck and Fence LLC to remove my present deck and rebuild a new slightly larger deck on my home. I gave *** ******** ,the representative of the company a personal check for $3500 for materials to be used for the construction of the deck. It was a partial payment for the total of $7500 to be paid upon completion. I was told that due to other jobs ahead of me ,construction would take place in August.On July 28 2023, boards that were to be used for the construction was delivered and left in my front yard. *** ******** contacted me shortly after wards and said they had one job more to do and I was next in line for the construction to begin. Also the materials delivered were not enough to completely build a twelve be sixteen deck that we agreed on. About the middle of August I contacted *** ******** and asked when I could expect work to start.I was told that he was short of help and didnt know when he would start. He finally showed up on Sunday August 27th to survey the old deck and also said that the materials delivered were short of the boards need to build the deck.He said that he would order the rest needed to complete the work.I asked what the delay was and he stated that he had been sick and also got into a physical disagreement with one of his employees.I texted him a few days ago and he did not respond back. Also earlier in a text he stated" No refunds" Its been three months now since I signed a contract and I have nothing to show for the money that he received. Its obvious now that he has taken my money and is not going to do what he was contracted to do All I get from him is excuses.Its been three months and I still am waiting.It been a breach of cotract ,false advertising and theft of my money .It doesnt look like he will ever build my deck .
