ZELLMAN ELECTRICAL

No more. He never throughout the course of all this work had a permit. He was never licensed for home improvement work. He's left the house in a mess. We've had the county inspectors in, the state inspectors. They brought a criminal case against him. This case is pending. He is a smooth talker, but an extremely tragic situation. We have been trying for almost a year and a half to get service finished. Now my wife is faced with the problem with the inability to find a contractor to take on and finish this work. Leaky pipes, re-doing the floor, open ceiling in the kitchen. A lot of things have been done to assist having this job done, and it seems you can't find anyone to do it. We have every reason to believe that he has fraudulently over billed for unsatisfactory work. He refused to give my wife receipts for parts and equipment that he allegedly purchased. He said they fell behind his refrigerator and he can't move it to get it. Another workman said I have never seen Zellman have so many new tools. He would bill as "truck stock". This would come through on a weekly invoice. Unidentified, he said that was stuff that he had to use. Was supposedly replacing a lot of wiring that he has missed. (knob and tube wiring). There is a special permit for this type of wiring, and he didn't have this either. Cement work still needs done. Didn't have a plumbing permit. Checks were deposited to an unincorporated business, then checks were told to be written directly to him. The state attorney told me there is another case pending against the same man.
