Business ProfileforBaran's Fence and Deck

We hired ****** *****, who is doing business as Baran’s Fence and Decks to install privacy fencing, split rail fencing and a deck. We paid a deposit for materials and then final payment for the fence when it was completed. For the deck we paid a deposit for materials. There were delays on starting the deck which he gave various excuses for, as well as delays in working on it once started. Then each time he came and did any work on it he'd request payment. We would give him partial payment. The last time he was here was 12/9/21. He almost finished the deck but did not complete it. He insisted on final payment and said he would be back the week of 12/13 to finish it. We paid him the last $500 and he wrote a receipt stating he would return to finish it the week of 12/13. He has never returned and has stopped responding to us and blocked us on social media. The privacy fence he installed is falling because he used short nails instead of the longer screws that would standardly be used. Before he stopped responding I contacted him about that and he said he would fix that when he came to finish the deck. He has never returned to do what he said he would do. So, we paid him in total over $8,000 and the fence needs fixed and the deck is incomplete and the ramp he installed on the deck is too steep and shorter than we requested. The wood used on the deck is substandard and is splitting and cracking. He sawed partially through one of the deck posts and one of the floor boards is sticking up about an inch on one end. We would like at least a partial refund so that we can get someone else to fix the fence and fix/finish the deck and ramp.
