JOE GONZALEZ HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTOR

EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A WRITTEN CONTRACT, HE KEPT FINDING EXCUSES TO RAISE THE AGREED UPON PRICE, AND WOULD GET VERY UPSET WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT IT. HE WANTS TO BE THOUGHT OF AS MADE OF GOLD, AND AS A MAN OF HIS WORD, BUT DON'T FALL FOR IT LIKE I DID. FIRST OF ALL REQUEST A BEGINNING, AND END DATE, WHICH HE MIGHT REFUSE TO GIVE, BUT BEFORE YOU GIVE IN TO THIS SUPPOSEDLY HONEST CHARACTER, BEAR IN MIND WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. HE SAID THAT THE JOB WOULD BE DONE IN 4 TO 5 DAYS. THEN ON ABOUT THE THIRD OR FOURTH DAY HE REQUESTED A PRE-PAYMENT FOR THE CEMENT TRUCK. HE CAME BACK LATER THAT AFTERNOON, AFTER THE BANK CLOSED, AND SAID THAT HE CAN'T GET A PERMIT WITHOUT GETTING LIABILITY INSURANCE, AND THAT WOULD TAKE ABOUT A WEEK. THE NEXT DAY HE PRESENTED MY CHECK, AND WITHDREW THE FUNDS. AFTER PUTTING ME THROUGH 4 WEEKS OF ANXIOUS WAITING, THEY FINALLY POURED THE CONCRETE. BUT HE LEFT HIS CREW UNATTENDED, AND THEY MADE MANY MISTAKES WHICH ARE PERMANENT.
