Do not hire this guy, he will give you excuses after excuses and do little bit of work at the time and collect more money each time and doing the bare minimum of work.
When we first talked to him we showed him one of his own pictures and told him that is what we wanted: a concrete patio with stamping and a border with a color to contrast the stamping color, then he gave us the quote and since is hard to get a concrete company available due to the construction booming, My husband hired him and Porter requested a deposit and it had to be a third of the total amount quoted and my husband gave him $4k , and he said that he would comeback in 3 weeks because he had other jobs to finish...a month went by, I messaged him and he never replied, then june, july and never replied then in October I asked him again otherwise we wanted our money back and he finally came over just to do a little bit of work, then a week later little bit more of work , demanded the second deposit, I told my husband not to give him more money since he just did the bare minimum, so we told him again to cancel and charge us for the work he did so far and he just replied saying that he was planning to do more work and we thought that he was going to finish the job but he did not, he only built the fire pit and put the framing for concrete area and left...now , by now we were not happy at all with this b**ser and to make matters worse the day he built the fire pit I asked him to leave enough room for the border for the concrete and he said that that was not part of his contract, I told him:" yes, we showed you your own picture to show you what we wanted and you said yes you could do that" so he denied it and we were messaging back and forward and he said that he forgot to include that in the quote and that he wouldn't do it for the same price, that there was an extra charge for $1200 more and we said no, it's not our fault that he made a mistake and that he should honor the price he gave us for what we asked him to do and same thing as the picture and he kept being unreasonable after all the time he made us wait and doing barely anything in the back yard and demanding more money upfront and now he is delusional and saying that he won't give us the rest of the money back.
What a great way to do business, he won't fix his mistake and refuses to give us our money back $6160
He is not cheap, he quoted us $4000 more compared to another company that was too busy to do our small project, but my husband wanted the patio to be done ASAP and hired this guy instead and took advantage of us by lying several times.
Will see you in court. read more
