    I hired Blackhawk contactors (*****************************) to replace my front porch, walkway, replace a section of the concert in my driveway and multiple smaller miscellaneous projects. I have paid him $20,300.00. The driveway and walkway projects are complete. The front porch is still not finished and I am not happy with the quality of work. None to the smaller miscellaneous projects were done and in some cases I have had to hire other people to do some of them. I am an ****************************************************************** I never received a contact from him for any of the jobs, he only gave me an estimate. I didn't even get an estimate for the driveway. These projects have been taking for ever. I have been waiting for the projects to be finished since August 15th of 2022. He doesn't communicate with me and the only times I hear from him is when he wants money. He had done the same thing to my neighbor. I am also aware he is currently being charged with contractor fraud in Sauk County. When he was working on the front porch he broke some very expensive stone landscaping that I just put in.

    Biggest mistake I ever made! Was hired to begin project in August and did not get started until mid October. Paid what was asked for half down. Contractor kept asking for more and I give him about three quarters.. Agreement was half down and balance when Job was complete. Contractor asked for more and I said no. Told him to finish the job and he would get his money. He guit that day without completing agreement and pulled his workers! Had to hire different business to complete work. Throughout entire time that his crew was here I had to watch work being done and have much fixed by them or had to fix it myself. I put many hours in to keep project going so I could get exterior of house done before the winter weather came. Terrible unreliable contractor. Watch out!!
