Kevin Greer Fine Carpentry and More

The Bill for Change order was for work requested by homeowner and completed by contractor.  They were not included in any part of original contract, yet we agreed to do the work anyway.  Verbal communication throughout the work being completed as well as by text served as authorization to...

do the extra work.  As per original contract, Change orders incur cost.  Homeowner refused to pay for work, so Contractor removed business related equipment and materials.

I am rejecting this response because:
We have multiple emails and texts from K Greer saying that he will return the money; our current contractor and others witnessed the deceiving and misleading tactics from this person who has...

taken our money SEVEN (7) months ago and has wrecked the timing of our renovation. We are undertaking other actions to recover our $34,000 + $ 3,500 and do not believe that this individual will ever pay unless forced to.

Review: Oct 2014 K Greer signed a proposal to install windows in our apartment at [redacted]. He made us pay 50% down ( Dept of Consumer affairs said that it should have been 30% and just signed his proposal instead of giving us a proper contract according to what I am being told). Our $34,000 check was cashed and after giving numerous (documented by email) reasons for repeatedly missing appointments at job site , he missed May 18th Installation date for our windows. We have emails documenting his deceiving practices where he first told us that "our windows (23) got crushed by accident at lumberyard " the very day they were supposed to be installed (May 18) then a few hours later saying that "our order fell thru the crack and was never placed"...now he refuses to bring us a check so that we can re order the windows thru our General Contractor who witness all this.Desired Settlement: immediately refund $34,000 [redacted] check # [redacted] cashed by K Greer on 10/24/14 for complete breach of contract and deceiving practices...as we said our windows were NEVER ordered and he only tells us mid afternoon May 18th as we have been waiting for him for hours in apartment to proceed with installation

Review: In January of 2013, I hired the company to for a home construction project. Most of the work was completed and they were paid in full. At that time, we separately contracted with the company to purchase and install closet doors for an additional $1,200, but no work has been performed. The check was also cashed for the full amount.

On March 25, 2013, I received a phone call from the owner stating the closet doors we purchased through his company finally arrived, but the product was damaged in transit. The owner said he needed to reorder them and it would take approximately two weeks. Since then, and after repeated attempts for an update on their status, we haven't heard one way or another about them.

Here’s a small sampling of my attempts to reach the business, based on cell phone, text and email records: 1/22/13, 3,25/13, 3/29/13, 4/3/13, 4/8/13, 4/16/13, 4/17/13, 4/18/13, 4/19/13, 4/24/13, 4/26/13, 4/30/13, 5/7/13, 5/10, 7/1/13, 7/23/13.

At this juncture, it appears as though the company is either unwilling or unable to complete the project, for whatever reason, as was promised and paid for in full. At this point, I just want my money back.

Thank you.Desired Settlement: I am requesting an immediate refund in the amount of $1,200 for the nonperformance of our agreement to purchase and install closet doors.

During our last conversation over the phone on July 23, 2013, the owner said the refund check was “in the mail.” As of today, August 9, 2013, I have not received my refund of $1,200.

Response:

The initial contract dated October 25, 2012 totalling $4779.50 was completed without problems. There were several free extras added as a courtesy. An additional contract for $1200.00 was paid for by the customer. Contractor installed the door-frame and door casings in preparation for bi-fold doors. They arrived damaged and were returned to the manufacturer. They were re-ordered and never came in. Contractor is still out the cost of the doors. Each e-mail, text, and phone call were addressed within 48 to 72 hours. The company fully intends to refund the cost of the bi-fold doors of $800.00 which is at cost.

I am rejecting this response because I have not received the refund check yet.

In an email dated July 1, 2013, the owner said he would mail a refund check that week. During a short follow-up phone conversation on July 23, 2013, the owner told me the refund was "in the mail."

While I disagree with the owner's assessment of the situation, I would be willing to accept a lower refund of $800 if he actually sends it right away. I purchased the M.I.A. closet doors nine months ago -- I deserve my money back.

Once I receive my refund -- and the check clears the bank -- I will be happy to consider this issue closed.

Review: [redacted] was hired by me & my wife to renovate my house on 3/19/15. [redacted] made a contract that deliberately missed out time frame & detailed information, took advantage of us that we were under tight timing to start. [redacted] did not meet any scheduled we verbally agreed on. He was behind schedule in 49 days, which made me move between 6 hotels as he never stood behind any new schedule he submitted. In addition, he put plumber & electrician on the permits that just gave him their license numbers and never saw my house. He managed it all in remote control sending unprofessional workers, that did lots of mistakes and left the job unfinished and unsafe, unlivable & put my family in risk. We didn't pass electricity & fire inspection and still not allowed to live in the house. [redacted] collected $7,500 payment for raw materials of a deck that he never deliver to my house and sent me misleading text lying we passed inspection in order to fraud us & collect another $5000 before he left site. he sent me an invoice out of the blue of $15,000 on extras we never discussed or quote by him before and gave me an ultimatum that he is not completing the project before I agree to pay it. In total I paid him more then the work he did, and now to finish what he should have I'll need to pay out of pocket again.Desired Settlement: Refound us at least $18,225 which will cost me to finish the project.
