I don't usually post things like this, but I feel like I have to speak up--not just for myself, but…read moreso others don't get hurt the same way. Please share this and help spread awareness. I was scammed by a man named Brian Shakesnider and his wife. I paid them a deposit to build two gates for my home, and they never came back. When I politely asked for my money back, he got angry, cursed at me, and blocked me. I work very hard for what I have. I'm a single mother. I don't rely on government assistance or child support--I earn every dollar to provide a safe and stable home for my children. This money was meant to improve our space and give them something better. I trusted them. I believed their words and promises. And what hurts the most is they hide behind God's name, posting prayers and preaching online, yet their actions are dishonest and wrong. You can't steal from others and then act like you're walking in faith. If you know Brian Shakesnider tell him you don't play with people's lives--and you definitely don't play with God's word. Karma is real. And maybe the reason things never improve for them is because you can't build something good off the back of lies. Again, please share this. I don't want anyone else to go through what I did.

CertaPro did our drywall repair and painting. The work was very good; however, the workmen had to be monitored. On two separate days, they stopped work before checking that all the work was finished. Had I not been paying close attention, we would have needed an additional day of work and an additional trip to the house. The workmen also did not communicate with us; they would leave without saying a word, one time after being there less than an hour. I had to regularly call the project manager to inquire about when to expect the workers.
