On May 14th, 2021 I entered into a contract with this company to build a garage along with a few smaller projects. I was required to pay ½ down or $25,000 dollars for a $50,000 project, which I did. I was told my rough cut wood would be ordered and asked if it could be placed on my property until they could begin the build. I agreed. The wood was never ordered or deposited onto my property. I was to have a summer build, then a fall build, “maybe” winter and then finally a spring build. The Spring build - I was told repeatedly, for a year, that I was next.. The next time I heard from him it was to change the original foundation to a monolithic foundation to save costs. I asked about the need to save money and he said costs were up now. I brought up our contract and he said that the contract was not a contract but an estimate of services. He no longer was going to tie in the septic. (The invoice clearly states “tie-in to septic”). He also wasn’t going to include electrical in the garage. (The invoice clearly states “electrical - basic needs”). I was then told I would have to get my own permits as it was illegal for him to do the septic (electric cheaper). Cement issue - I allowed cinder blocks to be left on my property. Then he added the cement pad and the old septic system (Also, I paid $3200 for a septic tank he collapsed), without further permission. So, for $17,300.00 I have a patio, (I would never have agreed to 8K.) a small cement pad outside my back door, incomplete retaining walls, the removal of an old cement pad and cinder blocks from a previous garage foundation. He refunded $7,700.00. The rest of the project remains incomplete. I have the original invoice for the entire project (which he initialed and dated), as well as his itemized invoice of why I only received $7,700 back of my $25,000.00 deposit. I saved all of our text messages to back up my claim and included pictures. NOTE: There is much more to this complaint.
