The worst contracting experience of my life. Wood Fundi Paving should not be in business. I wish I had checked their BBB, "F" rating (look up W F Paving-it appears he's changing his company name to avoid litigation) before moving forward with working with. The owner, Cedric Thomas, is a man without a conscious, lacks remorse even when faced with overwhelming evidence (including video) of his and his company's wrongdoing and feels he's above the law by ignoring judgements. I sued him in small claims court for the return of my 2nd draw payment, $6000 of $16,100 paid to him. He is content with collecting daily interest charges and additional court cost, the amount is now over $7000 and growing. Prior to our court appearance Cedric used intimidation tactics by 1) counter-suing for the balance of his contract (wanting to be paid for work he did not perform) and initiating putting a lien on my house; actually taping a Notice of Furninshing to my front door. His counter-suit was thrown out. I've been told it is rare to have a magistrate take the time and write out in detail why they make a judgement, but mine listed it all.
I signed his contract and paid his required 1/3 draw in February 2023. He started the work in April 2023. It is now December 2023 and due to the litany of things his company did wrong I sit with just a hole in the ground instead of collecting rent from a tenant that should be living in the garage apartment that can't be built until I find a company that can correct or find work arounds his mistakes and finish what he started.
Wood Fundi Paving is the nightmare contractor that HGTV shows are made of. Run for your life away from this company. read more
