Negative Stars. I contacted Jonathan a month in advance of my dig date to dig a simple trench to put electrical utilities underground. He delayed repeatedly. I should've fired him the 1st or the 2nd or the 3rd time. But I took him at his word and gave in to sunk cost fallacy. Because of his delays, the job got pushed into other obligations on the part of the electrician and Eversource. After over a month from the initial dig date, he did finally show up. He looked around, offered to go get a smaller machine (so he could cut down fewer trees), and never came back. I called and texted several times. No answer to any of it. Then, over 12 hours later, he texted saying he "tried to call but it went right to voicemail." (it didn't go right to voicemail when I called him ‍) I asked him what happened. No answer. Finally I did fire him, but a few days later I discovered he had been outright lying to me and the electrician. I called our electrician to explain what happened and he subtly implied that we shouldn't have delayed so many times and things would have been fine. I told him we never (not even once) delayed this job. The electrician told me that every time things got delayed, Jonathan told him that it was all my fault. That I was making new demands of him, changing plans, and just generally freaking out about things. For context, I've been living in an off-grid RV uncomfortably awaiting the day I finally get refrigeration, AC and running water. I've been trucking water onto our property, using a Porto potty and driving 45 minutes to the gym to shower. Jonathan knew all this. So needless to say, no I absolutely did not delay things by a single day. I've wanted nothing more than to pay this man the thousands of dollars to do is job so I can live comfortably again. But apparently that's too much to ask. There are several other weird lies he told. He told the electrician he was some family friend of ours doing me a favor. I literally did not know this man until I googled him a month before. He also told the electrician I insisted that I didn't want to talk to him and that I made Jonathan be the middle man so I didn't have to deal with him. Literally never happened. That lie actually hurt the most. It felt horrible to learn that all this time, the electrician thought I randomly hated him and was too good to talk to him. He also said (the day he showed up and went to get another machine before ghosting me) that he was going to get a "ditch witch" that would dig a trench in between the trees instead of cutting them down--he INSISTED it would do the exact same quality job. I had no idea what a ditch witch was. Never heard the word before. So I said fine. Come to find out, a ditch witch is just a push mower with a chain saw and can't dig a 2' wide, 4' deep trench. So that's a weird lie for no reason. Also the day he showed up and ghosted us, after he left, he called the electrician and said that we sent him away because his machine was too big and was going to cut down all our trees. He said I demanded we go get a ditch witch, and come back with it. Again, I literally never heard the words "ditch witch" til he said the words to me. I didn't even know what it actually was til I googled it days later. It is now over two months past the initial date that he said he'd dig. Still no power. Still no running water. Now the nights are getting cold and there's still no heat. But all the other legitimate companies are booked up because it's their busy season. So we have to wait another month still until the next opening we could find. Absolutely do not go with this guy. I gave him the benefit of the doubt so many times, and he consistently proved to me that I was a fool for doing so. I actually had zero intention of making a bad review even up to the day that he ghosted me. But taking to the electrician and uncovering all his endless lies was nauseating. He's a pathological liar and a degenerate and if he needs to harm you to serve himself, he will. He's not even a scammer. I never gave him a penny (just all my time ). But he's just so obsessed with lying, he can't even stop himself. So just protect yourself and go elsewhere. If you're in the Grafton area, go with Bob Senter or Phelp's Construction. read more
