Denis M Costello

Because the job required more time Than I had estimated, and because the materials were more expensive then I had figured, I needed more of the money that was owed to me at the end of the job to be given to me sooner than I had requested in the progress payments on my contract When I
asked the homeowner if he could give me some of the money that was owed me upon completion of the job sooner in order to pay for the materials and the labor to complete the job he told me that he wasn’t willing to do that The homeowner needed several weeks to finish his responsibilities for the project to be completed and thus for me to be able to request a final inspection in order to get the balance of what was owed me and, because I only had a only few days of work left to finish my responsibilities I left the job in order to make money elsewhere in order to keep paying my bills and with the idea that I would hopefully make enough money to finish my responsibilities on his job before he finished his so that I would not be holding up the completion date What I feel needs to happen is that he should give me some of the money needed to complete the work and hold back what’s not necessary for that and give to me the balance owed to me when the job is signed off as completed by the inspectorI also feel that he should complete his part of the project so that it doesn’t hold up the money that I am owed upon completion of the project and that he should allow me to come on to the property when it is convenient for me to do so during working hours Monday through Friday

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Sorry for not getting back sooner. Things have been hectic here. The story that [redacted] Costello tells reads like fiction. He makes it sound like he has no wrongdoing here, and that it was his choice to go seek other work to get the $ to finish our project. The truth was that he ran out of $, likely because of the amount of labor that he paid out to other carpenters etc to expedite the job before Xmas. Then he kept approaching us for more money in advance, to pay even more $ to more workers so that THEY could basically finish HIS job. The original arrangement was that [redacted] was going to be doing 90% of the work himself, and was going to pay us for the work that we performed, and deduct it from the final payment. We have a laborer that is still owed $100. W
Regards,
