Review: My wife and I hired these people to finish constructing a home that another contractor did not finish only to be bamboozled again. I signed a contract with Mr. Daryl L** to finish a new construction home that wasn't finished from a previous contractor. We agreed on a price with thr** installments. Paid the first installment, and had to beg to get the work started. Mr. L** then "smoothed talked" my wife and I into paying the second installment. Reluctantly we paid, because we thought that we could trust Mr. L** and just wanted to get our home finished. Came a couple of times and then never s**n or heard from him again. Would not return any of my phone calls. Since then my wife has passed and our house still sits unfinished. This man lies and needs to be brought to justice for preying on senior citizens.Desired Settlement: would like refund on work not completed.
