Business ProfileforCMC Custom Carpentry

In our experience, *************************** is not a reputable business person. On 12/6/2022, ***** gave us a quote to do $4,800 worth of new crown molding work on our house. He said he needed a down payment of $2,000 for the materials and would only take it on Zelle. Due to the fact that I have never used Zelle, the payment did not go through quickly and so he said he would take a check for $2,000 but that he was going straight to the bank. After he had deposited the check, the Zelle payment was made so ***** at that point had received $4,000 for a total $4,800 job. He bought the lumber and had it delivered and then showed up on the beginning day of the job and worked about 2 hours and just left. He showed up a second day and after about an hour of work said he had stepped off his ladder wrong and needed to go see a doctor. His injury went from a minor sprain to a bad sprain needing 3-4 weeks to mend to a fractured leg. I sent him an email on February 4th to ask when he was going to finish and he said that he had a fractured leg and threatened to *** my painter who was working at my house because he had slipped on some of the plastic that was in the room he was doing crown molding (which was the first time he had ever mentioned that). At this point, ***** was already advertising to get new business on *********** I am 60 years old and I now have paid a man $4,000 of $4,800 for a stack of lumber to sit in my garage and he is obviously able to do the job because he is advertising and has been advertising for new business since the January 25th. My husband has even offered to help him do the job since he has no additional helpers to hold the crown molding up while he nails it to the wall. ***** has beautiful pictures in his ads but I believe that while he may have done those at one time, it appears he is not willing, or able to do that type of work now.
