| Re: burned by a contractor Nice job, I had a nightmare scenario a few years ago. We hired this guy to do our kitchen and bathroom remodeling. He did a real good job and we were pleased. We also needed siding done and he told us he also does that. Since we were pleased with his work to that point, we hired him for the siding. Terrible idea. He botched the job horrendously, it looked awful and we even had a few minor leaks during the rain. I refused to pay the rest of what I owed him, and I wanted to take him to small claims to recoup what I paid up front, so I began to pursue with a lawyer, but the lawyer did a background and credit check and found that suing him would be like trying to get blood from a stone. There was no sign that the guy had any assets worth a darn. We let it go and considered it a sunk cost, and just this autumn had a good siding company come redo it. Still chaps my ass everytime I think about it! Hopefully it works out well for you, Matty.

| Re: burned by a contractor S10 I just love how people with bad credit seem to always get a free ride. What the hell is the point of paying your bills anymore!

Seeing someone who made less than I did, with worse credit than me, acquire the financing to buy a much bigger house than I had always pissed me off. A big part of me is glad to see it turning around, because now there's some justice in the financial system again.

Anyway, Matty, good luck getting some money back from that douche nozzle. He must have known what a piss poor job he did, otherwise he probably wouldn't have just walked away without an argument. Can't wait to see those pics....

| Re: burned by a contractor Wow, he really screwed you over big time dude. He never heard of tape? You probably could have done a better job yourself. I'd take the SOB to court just to make sure his ass never screws somebody else over. If I were you might be I tempted to strangle the neighbor that recommended him.

Seriously, that dude F'd your place up! My dad has been building houses my whole life and he would KILL any subcontractor if he went into a house to do some touch ups and he that left a house half that bad. I think I could do better trim work if I was drunk. Did he claim that he was all finished, or did he plan of coming back to clean up and do touch ups?

| Re: burned by a contractor dude that guy is so freaking awesome... ask him if he'll come to VA and do my mother-in-law's place! I think tomorrow Ashton Kutcher is gonna pop out of your closet.... Seriously, though, if i were a judge I would completely piss on that guy's leg.

One time a guy backed into me in a parking lot in Gainesville, Fl. I had just gotten my new Acura at the time, and dude did like nearly a grand worth of body damage to the front end of my car. Of course, being a poor college student, he had no insurance. I ended up taking him to small claims court. He didn't show up in court, and I was awarded a little over $1000. The dickhead never paid. It shit on his credit I'm sure, but did nothing for me. I ended up paying out of pocket to fix my new car. And anyone here who has owned a new car, you know how much it blows when it gets that first blemish. I can only imagine how frustrating that is with an investment like a new house. Good luck Matty. Get that ****er.
