Harassment by the owner for my 1st Amendment right to express my thoughts
jim was coming out to repair flooring laid incorrectly. he never ripped the floor up he left it to my fiance and his friend although he charged me for it. he put down new flooring filled with knots and defects although he was told specifically 5 times not to use that, to use the clear wood. he asked for cash to hide the transaction from his ex wife and then told me he would give me a receipt later. we paid him over $5600 in cash as requested. now he is saying we only gave him $500. completely untrue. he also never correctly sanded or finished laying wood on the second floor and did not finish with the poly coats. we had that evaluated by 2 flooring experts who said the job needed to be redone. the downstairs he had putty all over the place, knots in so many boards, incorrectly cut pieces, $135 a gallon poly he left open (about 6 containers), one leaked all over the floor and there is a huge dried puddle with cardboard polyurethaned to the floor. he left a hazard zone where someone could get injured, he never glued down the herringbone floor, just nailed it. he did an awful job the entire first floor that he supposedly repaired needs to be removed, new wood and supplies purchased and laid and finished again. i told him if he fixed it he would receive the small amount still owed he left the job and refused to fix it unless i paid him the rest upfront. after paying him all this money and having to pay to redo everything he is now slandering me on fb saying he was never paid and he did an amazing job. he is threatening me and supposedly setting up a group to picket at grocery stores, the post office and my home. think about this....paid almost entirely, did an awful job that has to be redone and now is threatening and slandering me....what a horrible, evil man.
Jim is great to deal with. Appreciated the time he spend explaining the process. Floors look great!!!
GOOD JOB!
good job work completed as estimated very happy.
