We hired the company to do a minor update in an upstairs bathroom (flooring, light fixture, mirror, toilet, and vanity). While it started off well, and the first day of the project went well, the second and final day was a homeowner's nightmare. The upstairs toilet was installed at approximately a 45 degree angle, and the downstairs toilet that we had installed (because day one went so well) was slightly crooked as well.
The upstairs light above the vanity was not centered, but off about a foot. When asked about payment, we said we would need to have those issues fixed first. After arguing that the toilet downstairs was not crooked, and the toilet upstairs had to be installed that way because...., it was fixed and they stayed until 10 PM.
But, we did not know that the repair person knocked a hole in the bathroom wall to the bedroom wall until the next day. He said nothing. Also, he said nothing about all the debris from the repair being left in the tub/shower combo with the shower doors deliberately shut and the old toilet in the garage where we would find later (as we do not park in there). The wall as of yet is not completely fixed, and we have not had any contact with the company since approximately Thanksgiving I believe. The owner stated that 2 or three patches would need to be applied, and one has been done.
As for plumbing, the plumbing leaked upstairs, and they were asked to fix it. The fix (not once but twice) was to get some sort of wrap from the home repair store and get it wet then paste it to the pipe. Instead of doing a proper fix. I understand that they might not have wanted to do the complete repair right then, but do do a hack job is unacceptable when I am paying you as a professional.
When finished, the sink pipes went from leaking to the sink no longer draining. The company owner left drain chemicals in the sink and left. We ended up needing to call a reputable plumber and drain line person to open the line/drain.

Contracted ***o build a home and garage and closed on construction loan in November 2017. They didn't start when we approved the initial draw of $64,571.22. This draw included framing of house and garage, concrete pour, stained concrete, roofing for both house and garage, siding for both, and insulation for both. Now, five months later, there is concrete slabs poured for both buildings, rough-in plumbing incorrectly done, a front and back patio poured, and minimal wall framing on the garage (which is a separate building). The walls for the house had to be torn down because they were framing them to be 8 foot walls and the plans call for cathedral ceilings. They purchased and delivered trusses for the home based on the incorrect ceiling they started to construct. That was done over a month ago and they have yet to return to the job site despite multiple phone calls, texts, messages, and emails. We've been supervising this job since the beginning despite the fact that *** is a general contractor. The safe room that is installed in the separate garage was put in the wrong direction and not ventilated as previously discussed. *** left their unlocked trailer with the metal for the house and garage at the property and it was discovered stolen somewhere around the first of March. Because they'd left it unattended by not working at the job site and unlocked, they agreed to cover it by not increasing our final cost to the project. Our liason never knows what's going and it takes days to get back with us. We told *** to hold the last draw check dated 3-15 for $10,736.90 (this included repurchasing the metal that was stolen and lumber for the 12 ft walls) and not purchase any more materials or use those funds until we could sit down and go over the plan for completion. They purchased materials the following Monday. The rough in plumbing issues has been addressed multiple times with ***, liason, with no response. They've given us multiple plans for work to be done and when we show up to the job site- no workers are there and no work has been done.

Concrete Pour $12364.97

Stain Concrete $3150.55

As of today, 4-10-18, the concrete is poured and labor has been paid to *** on a separate draw. The framing materials were ordered incorrectly and reordered- we have yet to see the correct materials. The concrete is not stained. The siding, insulation, and roofing have yet to be delivered. They have spent that money as follows:

Revdex.com,The attached documents are in support of our claim with ***. As stated in our complaint, *** were contracted to build a home and secondary garage for us in Carl Junction, MO. Attached is the draw schedule for the construction loan thru *** in Joplin, MO. The left column of the document is the breakdown of expenses from *** and the right column is the approved draw schedule. Please notice the amounts with . We are also sending pictures of the construction site as it stands in May 2018. Please keep in mind that we began this project November 2017 with a projected time to completion of 12 weeks. Draw 1 is the one in dispute and where the misappropriation of funds has occurred. The disputed amounts are as follows:*** Materials-Electrical $1438.87- No electrical work has been done on the property.Labor- Consulting $5165.70- This is not an approved expense nor is it in the contract that we would incur any labor consulting fees.Builder Services $17093.20- Again, this is not an approved expenses nor is it in the contract that we would incur any builder services fees.Labor- Consulting $534.64- Again, this is a not an approved expense nor is it in the contract that we would incur labor consulting fees. Obviously, building a home has a cost of labor and we do not deny that *** would make a profit on our project- they are in business to do so, but this situation is a gross misappropriation of funds since these expenses were not in the contract nor were they what the draw was for. Attached also is the contract with *** for your review. There is no concession on our part to get materials from the offices of *** in Cabool, MO to our job site. At the decision of the Revdex.com to review our complaint for arbitration, *** contacted Scott threatening to donate the materials they had on their site if we didn't pick them up by the end of April. Because of Scott's travel schedule for work, he was unable to pick them up himself and we incurred additional expenses to get the materials not knowing if they would actually donate around $10,000 of our materials or not. In addition to not communicating with us and not fulfilling the contract of building our house, *** had materials delivered and left on our neighbor's property that we've since moved ourselves (a lot of lumber). They also brought a load of sheet metal on a trailer *** admitted was left unlocked. The trailer and the materials were stolen from the property. The final draw for the construction loan is a replacement of these materials that we agreed would not ultimately be paid for by us since negligence was obviously ***. After the issuance of the check for this replacement Thursday, March 15, 2018 Scott told *** of *** the next day, Friday, March 16, not to purchase any materials with the money. *** purchased the materials the following Monday, March 19, from ***, which is a company associated with and possibly owned by ***. The metal materials replaced total $6846.22 and is part of Draw 7. Attached is a picture from the conversation *** had with *** on *** stating that they would take on the cost of the metal if we agreed to fund the repurchase. We are asking for a reimbursement of the Electrical materials, labor consulting, builder services and labor consulting totaling $25,232.41 and the $6846.22 for the metal material replacement. The construction loan draws were not approved for these expenses and were never agreed on in the contract. The electrical work has simply not been completed. The windows and doors purchased with the initial draw was a misappropriation as well since they were supposed to be purchased in a future draw. As of May 12, 2018, *** has yet to sign a lien waiver for the initial draw that was supposed to be for materials only. We cannot proceed to do anything with our property until this is done. As *** has breeched the contract on multiple occasions, we would just like to get our house built and move on without them. We have been renting a house this whole time and *** not honoring their word and contract has substantially affected our lives adversely.We've tried for over 6 months now to communicate with ***. We've asked for meetings, timelines, and have gotten no where. *** would not return phone calls and hasn't performed any of the contractual obligations in a timely manner. We understand that the building process is sometimes unforeseen and adjustments need to be made, but in 20 years of remodeling and building homes in our area, we have never experienced the unprofessionalism, lack of communication and lack of adherence to written contract.Lastly, we did our due diligence in investigating ***- talking to customers and reviewing their Revdex.com rating. Due to their actions, we request their Revdex.com rating be lowered substantially. An A+ Revdex.com rating should be reserved for business consumers can trust and fulfill their contractual obligations. Misappropriation of funds and not communicating with consumers is not part of that trustworthiness that as consumers we expect from a business with this rating. Thank you for your consideration in this matter and your service to the Revdex.com. ***417-622-8926417-622-8567

We hired *** to build our barn. We gave him $50,000 to start the build on June 13, 2017. He took our money and disappeared. He blocked our phone calls and didn't answer our emails. I finally used a difference phone and got a hold of him in August. The build was supposed to Start in June. He never pulled permits. We told him that we were cancelling the project and want our $50,000 returned. He said that he used our money to pay for bills and payroll.(co-mingled the funds) He said that if we pay him the $250,000 to finish the barn he would credit the $50,000 to us. He is currently being investigated and we hope the District Attorney will arrest him on "Theft by Deceit". He uses his "***" exterior to convince people that he is honest. He is a *** by every sense of the word. We will do everything in our power to shut this guy down. He is way too calm cool and collected to be a first time offender.

1. *** signed A contract with *** Deatherage Builder LLC. on 12 June 2017 to build a horse barn.

2. We received the down payment of $50,000 later that week.

3. We began the process of getting the information together and realized it would be time consuming, so we enlisted the help of *** of *** to help us through the process.

4. We received a message to put things on hold because of *** health issues, so we contacted *** and told him to stop the permit process.

5. We were contacted by ***'s sister *** demanding refund and threatening us if we didn't comply.

6. We are ready to fulfill the contract and restart the permit process to build as soon as *** is ready.

7. Our Phone number is ***. *** answers and will talk to you anytime you wish, unless you become abusive. She can also verify that you have access to our message system that we use to communicate.

OVER PROMISES, OVER CHARGES, AND UNDER DELIVERS! I should have remembered that people who feel a need to claim they are honest and have integrity rarely are. *** did not pay his employees or sub-contractors for the work they did for us. It was very hard to be asked "Do you know when *** is going to pay me?" When I asked *** about this, he texted me a response that had no resemblance to the text he sent the sub-contractor asking the same question. He charged me to be our general contractor, but showed up only a few times in two months.j I ended up doing his job for him, yet he kept the money. When his sub-contractor failed to put flashing on our windows, and our siding/repair job cost nearly $40,000, he did not see that the problem got fixed despite our numerous requests to have the problem corrected. We let him go before the work was completed because of his dishonest dealings and ended up losing money on work we paid for that did not get done. *** is a convincing salesman because he is knowledgeable, but he was not truthful with us nor did he treat us professionally or with integrity.

Thank you for your concerns, are contractors get paid when their work is done satisfactory and their paperwork is complete. If we had been allowed to finish the job I'm sure everything would have been finished to your satisfaction.
