Business ProfileforHighland Contracting LLC

I hired ****** ********* to power wash and stain the exterior and paint the interior of my house in August 2023 with the understanding that he would start in two weeks. We signed a contract to that effect on 8/8/23 and I gave him a 50% deposit of $6,455.00. Shiloh did not do any work. His excuses included his claim that he “couldn’t reach the stain/paint company to order the supplies; the stain/paint company told him I had to pick new colors because my choice wouldn’t work on cedar; he didn’t want to deal with the supply company I chose because the guy was a liar; he had COVID; he had other work to finish; and finally, he would do the work in Spring 2024.” Shiloh came to the house on Oct 8, 2023 with a new contract he wanted me to sign. He stated that he wanted to save me money due to the delay. He said that my deposit was now the full amount for the exterior. I told him that I wanted my deposit returned. He kept trying to convince me to sign the new contract. I told him I was not interested in signing any new contracts. He said he would give me a refund and left. I did not receive the refund. I sent him a certified letter and emailed a copy on November 7, 2023 requesting the refund from the contract he terminated. That same day, I received numerous emails and texts in response indicating he had no intention of returning my deposit and that he would be here in March 2024 as our contract was not breakable unless “we agree to terminate.” To date, Shiloh has yet to return my deposit as requested. I do not want him to complete the work in March 2024 due to the above.
