Fraud from start to, well, not finish because he left the "job". I didn't find out till later he charged me for materials not related to my job, charged tax (2ce) when he swiped my card when no tax was due, and doesn't actually have a corporation. I was so stupid to give him 65% upfront for labor. His materials estimate was short by 45% now I'm already over budget and have to spend hundreds of dollars for replacement materials alone just to correct their many, many mistakes as well as the property damage he left behind in his fit of rage. The man is a liar and a thief. He was so mad that I insisted he fix some stuff that he tore drywall down, and smashed holes in several walls with his hammer all the while telling me I'm the worst client he's ever had.
