Northlake Contracting owned by Lucas Scriver was hired to build our fence & deck. He has a couple of reviews on Homestars, said he has been working for about 8yrs. Seemed like a great guy, did us a quote, which seemed really reasonable , & in the quote he never charged us for the railings around the deck which my husband pointed out & Lucas said it would be another $2300.00 but he made the error & would just "eat" the difference, but we insisted on paying him the $2300, cuz everybody makes mistakes. He then told my husband he was a " stand up guy" & he wouldn't regret hiring him....Wrong! Lucas & his helper Dave came & put in the posts , & a couple days went by, they came back & were building the fence. Then Lucas disappeared for a couple days & Dave was still here working on the fence & said Lucas was off doing quotes. Dave did a great job on the fence & Lucas showed up & asked for the next installment, which i e-transeferred right then, $6000, & he left. Atc5pm Dave wrapped the days work up. Said he'd be back the next day & bring the wood for the gate & cut off the posts & put caps on & then Monday they could start the Deck. Great, right? That was Sept. 4th. They have never been seen since. LUCAS doesn't answer his phone or texts. Nothing. We have paid for 75% of the bill with less than 50% completed. So, basically he left with $6000, scammed us. We are retired & can't afford to just lose $6000 How do people live with themselves pulling this kind of stuff? So "No, we don't recommend Lucas Scriver from Northlake Contracting.
