I received a quote of $2100 to replace a door at my house with a larger, wider door. I was told the door would need to be special ordered and could I please pay half up front to get the door ordered. I paid $2000 up front (max I could get from ATM in a day) to make sure the door was ordered, but to also help out a small business by paying up front. I got the door a few weeks later. A few days after that he came out and started to demo the old door frame. I have not seen him since. I have texted with no response, called with no answer. He did text me a month and a half ago saying he hasn't forgotten me, but it seems he has. It has been over 4 months since I got a quote and meanwhile I have a door sitting outside waiting to be installed, and money paid in good faith to get the project done is gone.
In short, I am out over $1000 after hiring him for a job. No receipts, just texts, so nothing I can do. Except a bad review and a sob story on yelp. read more
