YOU BETTER GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING OR YOU WILL GET SCREWED!!!…read more I had been buying mulch etc from D&J Sand and Gravel for several years. I felt like I knew johnny. The prices were high but figured it was what it took to deliver such things. I sold my house and as soon as the contract was signed it rained like never before. I had water under the house and johnny said he would put in a french drain and add dirt and grade for less than $15,000. I ask him to get me a price in writing and get started. I was under pressure to make the closing three weeks later. johnny said he would get the written estimate to me but always had an excuse for not producing the estimate every time I saw him. I kept asking every time I saw him and got nothing. My wife kept telling me she was nervous and johnny could really stick it to us if I was not careful. I told her "don't worry honey, johnny is a Christian and we know him - he is not going to do us wrong" This is my biggest regret - I trusted crooked "christian" johnny more than my wife's instincts and judgement. That won't ever happen again!! His crew did the job in around 7 days total - during that time johnny would show up every couple of days and said "don't worry, I'll do you right" Well he sure did - I got a bill for (are you ready?) $37,213 One of his workers damaged the siding on my house and johnny said he would pay for it - just before he sent me his bill he asked me to send that invoice to him since I had to have a vendor repair that mistake. He took that off the top of his outrageous invoice making the final price $36,713.20 As you can imagine I almost passed out when I saw that and called to confirm it was not a mistake to which johnny replied "well it was wet out there" I was now in a position where the closing on my house was affected and I felt like this invoice was an unarmed robbery Since johnny knew I was selling my house I guess he figured he would take a nice bite out of the equity. I called two independent "HONEST" companies to come quote the exact same work - showing them the areas where the work was done and telling them to include adding dirt and grading in their quote. Basically quoting the exact same things his crooked company did. Quote #1 was $17,500 and quote #2 was $18,700 - this was work being done by companies from towns that surrounded Goldsboro - johnny had his operation about five miles from my house I called johnny and told him I would give him $18,000 cash (cash changes everything for a crook) He dickered and we finally ended up settling at $25,000 Crooked "christian" johnny pulled a fast one on me - don't believe his con job of being a christian and trust him - even if you think you know him As for the work his crew did - you won't find a more professional, polite, hardworking and honest group of people. They actually demonstrate Christian beliefs and actions but don't continuously tell you what a great Christian they are. The job they did was outstanding. Buyer beware - IF JOHNNY BRINGS YOU A TEASPOON OF SAND - GET IT IN WRITING OR YOU WILL GET SCREWED!!!!! Other reviews have also commented on how johnny brings God and Christianity into his business dealings and just like me - he has tried to stick it to them - showing that his words don't match his actions Bottom line - he can't be trusted - simple as that
