Description

Ernest Lockhart contacted me saying he was recommended by a company that he previous worked for that had gone out of business. I had previously encountered him through that business. He said he was starting his own business. Since I knew of him, I signed a contract with him to have him refinish my door. I also paid him a deposit through Venmo. He failed to show up for the first appointment and was not reachable for a number of hours after the time he was supposed to arrive. He said that he had a flat tire which was dubious since the photo he sent showed a dash board with a low tire where the outside temp was 45 degrees in the summer. We rescheduled. I confirmed with him the night before but he did not show up. He did not respond to text, email or phone calls. He did not return the deposit ($810).
