Barker Construction

Took my money and never saw his face again

mr barker, at first gave a very convincing spiel about how much work would be done and at what cost even writing a contract detailing the payment plan we had agreed upon and when the work to build a 6 ft privacy fence as well as other jobs along the way as well as offering references and addresses where he had completed other jobs in the area so i could see his work, the whole time he was planning a con that he had (after the fact i found out) completed several times before. ultimately after enough time and many excuses later i filed to sue for recoupment of the almost 2000 dollars he had received  with gladly being able to get back all of it by way of freezing his bank account only to be awarded half due to the law that states i cannot take all that was in the account leaving him with nothing yet this law does not take into account the debts and out of pocket cost i have incurred through this process, never the less i was duped by this man that makes his living off of coning people out of their hard earned money while he lives up the lap of luxury. DO NOT hire this man

He was supposed to complete all of these things but kept coming up with excuses for why he couldn?t.  At first we understood, his grandson had cancer, so we gave him leeway.  It has now been 3 years and he still hasn?t completed the work even though we paid him.

We took him to small claims court but he never showed up and has never responded to any appeals.  We haven't heard from him at all and we need our money back or the job to be completed.
