"I hired Hugh to prepare our building site and he left me with all kinds of problems. He did not clear the site for the house where we wanted it, did not hire an engineer for plans to build the retaining wall and has left us with so many problems. The retaining wall did not pass inspection. I had to hire an Engineer to draw plans up and it has cost me so far 36k to take his wall apart and put it back so I could back out of my driveway without falling down a 10 foot embankment. I took him off the job and he went to MCNeelys and told them I approved for him to take 4 loads of rock which I did not and I don't know where he brought the material but it was not on my site. I paid for all the material for his work he had done, and 36K for just labor and he has now put a lein on my property. The person he hired to do the work quit becasue he was cutting so many corners. I would never reccomend him for site work. "
