Mark Calhoun was hired May 2019 to build a composite deck + 2 privacy screens. Work to be completed May 23-May 31 2019. Mark indicated he applied for the permit May 3rd. Mark in fact did not submit for the permit until May 23 (as per the town) but still denies this. Once the permit was received, June 27th, Mark then created more delays by not having enough material, not showing up to work or only working a few hours at a time. Not many solid full days. Mark said he ordered our composite back in May and it was being held at TransCanada to be delivered when he was ready for it. There were multiple "missed" deliveries, but after further investigation and directly speaking with the company, they had NO composite order for us. Shortly after July 25th, Mark stopped communication totally. There is not one aspect of our deck that is actually complete, including the ledger that attaches to the house, he never properly attached it. Mark is also refusing to return monies paid in good faith, as he is no longer communicating at all. This is not the first instance with Mark and his multiple companies, Stone Orchard Landscaping, Mark's Home Improvements and All SummerScapes(Does work for them). Stay away or refuse large pre-work deposits.
