Description

Back in December 2023 my grandmother was at a friends brunch and they were talking about things still needing to get done fro the hurricane when my grandmas friends son “who is a contractor” says he can take care of that’. They were talking about my grandmas pool cage that needed to be done still. So my grandma talks to him briefly at this brunch and he asks her address and says that she is close by so he can do it. But that was the end of the conversation so the next morning at 8am he shows up to my grandmothers home unannounced and my grandma wasn’t even up for the day. But she lets him him because it’s the son of her long time friend so she figures she can trust him. So he goes in the back of the house and sees the pool cage and says he can fix it and says it will be 17,000 and that she needs to give him 7k down to start so my grandma being trusting gives him the money cash and then that’s when the run around starts. My family didn’t hear about all this until she told us in late February because no work has been done at all. And he claims permits were taking long to get approved. But we found out that no permits were requested so after that I decided to contact the contractor myself and he doesn’t pick up his phone so I’ve been dealing with him via text. And he states that the material is coming from Miami and it takes months to get here. So at this point I just asked for a refund because my grandma is very unhappy, and there was no contact sign what so ever and no invoices given to my grandma. I’ve been asking him for almost 2 months for a refund now he’s telling me that the company is sending him a check and it went out Thursday so he said this week but I’m not very confident about it. I’ve found bad reviews on this person and other news story’s about him as well
