Business ProfileforLiving Space Building & Remodeling

After reviewing our space in September 2021, Kevin R***** of Living Space Remodeling provided me with a contract for construction scheduled for February/March 2022. At the time, my husband was deployed and all communication was between myself and Kevin R*****. The contract was signed and a $500 check was cashed on October 1, 2021. Kevin checked in with us in February around timing. By this time we had a portable storage unit in our driveway, but unable to utilize it because our 5 member family contracted COVID. As a result, the clearing of the attic took longer than expected. Kevin contacted me via email February 24th informing me that materials would be delivered March 1st. We were unable to completely clean out the space, but since he was only delivering materials, we had a backup plan to store the items in our garage. Kevin came on the 1st and was upset that the space was not emptied (he did not say this needed to be done by this particular date.) He said he needed to make some phone calls and left. That night, with the help of some friends were able to completely clear out the space. I emailed Kevin on March 1st, March 2nd and March 12th informing him that the space was ready. My husband also contacted him by phone on March 9th and 11th. On March 15th, the flooring company called to request a time to measure the space. Amy, at *** **** was surprised when I informed her I was unsure what was happening with the project as Kevin had not responded to any of our attempts at correspondence. Amy contacted him directly and asked him for an update to which he responded that he was not doing the project. He never let us know this and now we are stuck paying for a $200 storage unit until the project can be completed as well as losing $500 from signing the contract. We are also under the assumption he has received a permit from the town for the project (based on an email he sent in February) which may impact ability to move forward with another contractor.
