My wife and I met *******************************, of *********** Excavating and Construction, in the fall of 2022. Immediately **** showed a large interest and excitement for our project. He told my wife and I constantly that he would take care of us during this project, ensuring he was looking out for our best interest. We began working together in the spring of 2023 **** agreed to take on our project, but required a 6,500$ upfront payment for him to even give us an estimate for our renovation project. I asked many contractors if they charge an upfront fee and none had ever heard of something like that. **** explained to us that with such a large job, it would take him many man hours analyzing every aspect of the job to give an accurate estimate and scope of the work. It is riddled with grammatical errors and repetitious language trying to justify a ludicrous upfront fee. We paid **** in cash and never received a receipt for this payment. 8 months later when I asked for a receipt for our construction loan **** told us I thought that was quiet money that we werent gonna really tell anyone about. I had to go back to my accountant to write in the payment was made to get you a receipt.6 months later, no Scope and Feasibility plan from **** and his associate ****. During these 6 months Bill teases us along. We were also in the process of evicting a tenant who refused to leave the property. **** convinced us that he could befriend this person and convince them to agree to move out. The tenant requested a bunch of work be done in their apartment to bring it up to code. **** told us he would take care of it. After doing basic repairs any handyman could complete in a few hours we were handed a 4,000$ bill (photo attached to this review) with an absurd list of jobs completed. We disputed the invoice. **** hired his brother, *********** Plumbing, to complete unnecessary work site work that was critical for us to do before stating the whole project.
