DON'T HIRE OR HE WILL RUN OFF WITH YOUR MONEY!
I hired Shawn Coons, President of Your Power People, to re wire my house. We brought in several electricians but felt good with our first impression of Shawn and especially with his warning against using unlicensed contractors because they will take half of your money, see how much work is actually needed and then they will run off with your money and you will never hear from them again. Remember this point. On a Thursday, we signed a contract and paid half down, $5,750, to Shawn Coons and he said he would start Monday. Monday came and Shawn didn't show up. He said he would start Wednesday, we agreed. Wednesday came and he cut his hand, not on my property. He said he would be at our house no later than Friday, already over a week after we paid him. Friday came and no show again. My wife and I were out of the country, so made an agreement between Shawn and our General Contractor that Shawn would report to him. Shawn blocked the General's number for the 11 days we were away. I returned to the States on Saturday. I called Shawn on Sunday and left a voicemail. He finally returned another phone call and voicemail on Monday and he said he had been recovering from the cut hand and had been sick with a terrible flu, he didn't even bother to shoot a text and inform us he would not be working for 10 days, and that he would be at our house on Tuesday and every day after that until the job was done. Initially he said the job would take 2 weeks to complete. At this point we were already into the 3rd week since he was supposed to start. Again he didn't show up on Tuesday. He finally came out to our house on Wednesday and did about 3 hours worth of demolition and left. In the contract, it was stated that he would only knock holes in the ceilings and walls. The demolition he performed at my house consisted of ripping an entire ceiling out, not knocking holes. I accepted the loss as collateral hoping he would finish the work. He didn't show up Thursday nor Friday. I called him 3 times on Friday with several hours between calls. On the last call I stated that he was fired and that I wanted my money back because he's damaged my property and not done any work for which I paid. He stopped answering phone calls and text messages. He is completely not respondent to any action on my part to get my money back. This licensed contractor is not worth the stress but he has stolen almost $6,000 from me. I would not recommend this licensed contractor to even my worst enemy. read more
