John is by far the worst contractor I ever hired. He would show up at around noon and work only a few hours. There were days when he would not show up at all and would not return my calls/ texts. After a 3 weeks of on-and-off work he accomplished very little. It became obvious to me he knew very little about plumbing and electrical. He asked for 50% deposit up front and asked for another $200 "for materials" that I never saw. When he contacted me to renegotiate the price, I ended the contract and got another contractor who finished the job in 3 days. I would not hire John again.
Denis,
You paid $800.00 for a $3000.00. Before work commenced I explained I was working on many other projects and would be here in the afternoon. You had no problem with that as you didn't want to spend the money to get it done quickly. You were told your plumbing in the basement was flawed by the original contractor whom finished your basement and we needed to call a plumber to fix the problem. That is when you told me you didn't want to call a plumber, and that you would fix it yourself. I was hired to move plumbing not to re-route everything after you changed the design twice.

John got $6000 and did $500 of work. He left the job and never returned. I had to clean up my own property. John got a new power chisel on me with my money. I tried to charge him with fraud and are pursuing legal action. He also left his empty bottle of Oxycontin, so may be used it to fund his habit. Run, don't even let him on your property. Thanks for nothing.
I had done $6000.00 worth of work, I rebuilt your chimney from top to bottom and fixed your foundation on the interior and exterior, Tuck pointed and much more. I was prescribed pain medication at the time as I had a rotator cuff injury from falling off your roof. I am hoping we can settle things amicably. See below. I had been paid for the work I completed. If there was fraudulent activity I am sure the authorities would have contacted me. I had contacted you and attempted to return after I had bought all the material for the job you tried to cancel. The job was 3/4 done when you cancelled. I was told you where hiring another company for your job.
Please contact me personally if you would like to discuss this further.
