Business ProfileforHarris Painting

This has been going on since May 1, 2023. ****** Harris hired to pressure wash home and put down shoe molding in 2 rooms. He said he could do this in a day's time. He stated he needed to buy materials for molding. I gave him $220 in cash to purchase this. I asked for a receipt. He never gave me one. He started pressure washing and asked for payment in advance due to expenses he needed to meet for child graduation expenses from ******* **********. I paid him $150 for pressure washing and $200 for shoe molding. This was paid to him on May 2, 2023. He sent texts saying he was on his way to my home on 6 dates he never showed up. Last time he was here he took material I paid for so he could trim it. He left his hammer and box nails here. Have not heard from him since. I sent numerous texts and asked if he was coming back and to please return my material back to me. I did not get material back and I had to spend $53 to buy additional material to get someone else to finish shoe molding and that labor was $100. ****** never came back to finish pressure washing nor the shoe molding. He put some molding down but did not complete either room. I hired him due to reference from a neighbor because ****** and workers had done work for him in the past and did a good job. I am a senior citizen and on a fixed income and do not appreciate the fact he has lied to me and did not honor his word. I would like for him to pay me back the $153 I had to spend to get molding done and $100 for what I paid him in good faith on the labor for the molding as he did not finish the one room he started on. My brother-in-law called him and asked when he was going to finish the job and ****** promised him he would be here on May 30 to finish jobs. He did not call nor text me.
