Graham Granite LLC

I contracted Travis Graham to perform an install on my house in Overland Park. I paid for my granite up front from Affordable Home Products. He then began to perform the install, with everything set up in the driveway. I stopped by when he was just getting started and he claimed he would finish by the end of the day. I proceeded to cut him a check in full for the labor we negotiated(P.S. This was my mistake, never do this, EVER). I stopped back the next day and saw that he left the job in almost the exact spot it was when I cut him the check. He left his trailer in my garage and I assumed he would be back to complete the job. He then proceeded to drag me out about 2 weeks saying he would be there to finish the install almost every day. I finally got him to show back up to the property after 2 weeks, unlocking the house, with him saying he was there to finish the job. I let him in, but had a bad feeling about it because he did not have a worker there to help him lift granite(said he was on his way). I drove around the block and parked down the street to see what would happen. Travis proceeded to pack up his tools, load my already paid for granite on his trailer, and hook up to his trailer to get ready to leave. I pulled back up and called him out on his act of leaving and attempting to steal my granite. I told him that I would help him install the granite or that he needed to pay me back the money I had payed him. He swore up and down that he would be back the next day to do the install. I still didn't believe him and he wrote me a check for the labor, saying I could cash it if he didn't do the install the next day. I helped him unload the granite and he left. The next day he was a no call, no show. I deposited the check into my bank account. The check bounced, as he put a stop payment on it. After this point I could only get him to talk over text messages. He still claimed he was going to come back to do the install, and lead me on for another two weeks. I then called Affordable Home products, who informed me that he was still picking up granite every day, and that he was hearing back from other customers that he was collecting money for jobs and not completing work. This guy is a scam artist, and will take advantage of you if he gets the chance. I would never recommend him to anyone. I am currently filing a case in small claims and going after him for the bad check. Buyer beware, stay away, and never pay for anything up front.
