Steer clear of this company. This guy, Ron Beaver is a scammer. We agreed to a price to have him paint my house, interior and exterior. He then asked for just over 1/3 of the total so he could buy materials. But, there was no written contract, nothing and he asked me to Zelle the money to his wife.
I did so in good faith and he said he would provide me with a receipt for the paint, which after 3 days, never happened.
I contacted him the day before he was supposed to start the job explaining that I was feeling uneasy since he hadn't provided me with a receipt for the material as he said. He told me he was getting it in the morning. In fact, he didn't even tell me with certainty after being paid for the material, what day or time he was going to start until I asked and pressed him on it.
At this point I told him I felt uneasy with the whole transaction since I had no contract from him and he hadn't provided me with a receipt as he had promised. I asked him, for my comfort level and to show me he was legit to send me a photo of his drivers license. He said he understood and agreed to send me a picture of his license.
I never received that picture and after a couple hours he informed me that he had Zelle'd back 2\3 of my deposit and would be sending the rest from a different account at a different bank. He sent screenshots showing he had done so but when I called my bank, they showed no pending zelle transactions, which the bank said should be there if he actually did so.
So, I had to go to his house to ask for my money. He became belligerent and loud and vulgar. I explained to him that all I wanted was a pic of his license to show his intent to complete the work. He claimed that offended him. He screamed at me repeatedly saying I was threatening him. I never threatened him just asked for the balance of my deposit back. His demeanor changed back and forth several times during this contact and he agreed to drive to the bank to get me the balance of my deposit.
So that begs the question of if he actually zelled the money like he said he did, why would he be willing to go to the atm and get the balance for me?
This guy is a con artist, albeit not a very good one. And he still tried to say that he had every intention of doing the job but he hadn't even gotten the material after 3 days of receiving the money for the material and never gave me an exact day and time he was going to start the job until I pressed him for it.
Also, I looked him up and found he had been charged with theft by deception in the past. read more
