Business ProfileforC. Alexander Company LLC

Craig E****** promised to build a small snow cone shop for me. I was referred to him by a company called Buildzoom. I paid Craig E****** 17k, 8k, and 12k. This is my first business and Craig took major advantage. The sub contractors started calling me telling me they were not getting paid, and Craig was telling them false stories to get out of paying them. Craig had my project since the first week of January 2022, and did not complete the project. He quit the first week of May 2022 when I called Buildzoom asking for them to help me. He sent me racist and misogynistic text messages. His previous employee advised me that he was spending the money for my projects on his bankruptcy matters and not spending my money toward my project. I found out that he scams people because he's currently in bankruptcy, and he feels he cannot be touched once the customer makes their down payment. Craig dragged me along by telling me that he could not get anyone to work on my project because it was too small. He said no one wants to work small projects, they only want the big ones. He wasn't paying the sub contractors whom he hired, and that's why my project was not getting completed. My building is only 280 square feet. He had my project from January to May, and never finished. I talked to another lady he was building a house for and he did the same thing to her. My new electrician that I had to hire to fix the issues noticed the ceiling wasn't even insulated when he went to run his wires. Craig's people sheet rocked the ceiling and painted it with no insulation. This guy ripped me off, took my money, and quit my project. The stress this has caused is unreal! I just wanted to open up a small snow cone shop, and this guy took my hard earned money. He blocked my number and refuse to give me any money for the materials I paid for which I never received, and also unfinished flooring, FRP, painting, insulation, door, lock, deck, building permit, framing, siding, electrical, and plumbing.
