NH Plowing

Run as fast as you can from this company! Or at least check them out on the BBB. They took our deposit from us and never did any work, and will not get back to us regarding returning the deposit. A mason came out, put down wood, destroyed out property and then said he was not finishing the work because the company had not paid him. Save yourself the aggravation and hassle and do not work with them. NHCRS are thieves.

NHCRS is a shell game operation.  They hired random people from craig?s list
who were not licensed professionals, and they sent them to my house to do the
work unsupervised.  I bought a house in Massachusetts
that needed extensive renovations.  I
called NHCRS and they came out to do an estimate.  He seemed very professional, and seemed to
know what he was doing.  He gave us a
quote and said not to be concerned about the lower price, because he guaranteed
the quality of his work.  He also stated
that he had employees who were licensed carpenters, plumbers, and electricians,
and that they were licensed in the state of Massachusetts.  This turned out to not be true.  He didn?t send anyone to my house that had
worked for him longer than a couple months, and they admitted to not being
licensed.  At one point, they had a
worker at my house who they told me to my face was a licensed plumber.  I walked directly from that conversation,
into the house and asked the worker if he was a licensed plumber and he
admitted that he was not.  I was told
that the work would be done in a matter of weeks.  I bought the house in January, and by April
it was nowhere near complete.  The entire
project was mismanaged from the beginning and extremely unprofessional.  They left trash and debris piled up inside my
house and all around outside for months because they refused to pay for a
dumpster.  I was told over and over that
they will send the ?company trailer?. 
This did not happen, and when they finally came to pick up the trash,
they sent a guy out in a uhaul truck!  When
the work began, I was told that the permits had been pulled and everything was
on track? I suppose I should have known that something was wrong when I came
home one day and all the windows had been covered with black trash bags.  His ?employees? told me that it was to
protect the windows from dust, but as it turned out, it was an attempt to hide
the work from the building inspector because they never pulled any
permits.  It didn?t work however, because
the building inspector caught them without any permits and shut the job
down.  When I asked why I had been told
that the permits had been pulled, I was told that the ?flooring permit? had
been pulled (There is no such thing as a flooring permit).  Then the job sat idle for several weeks while
NHCRS tried to scrounge up some actual licensed professionals on craigslist.  The whole time telling me that their licensed
employees were ?busy on other jobs?.  When
they couldn?t find any professionals to pull the permits, their solution was to
ask me to pull my own permits and say that a family friend was doing the work.  When I threatened to fire them for their
ridiculously sub-standard work, I was threatened with legal action.  They told me that there is a ?binding
arbitration clause? in the contract that you sign with them to begin work, and I
was told ?we will take this to arbitration, you will pay for the legal fees,
and you will lose.?  Essentially, they
attempted to extort me to keep them on the job. 
Eventually I consulted a lawyer, found out it was BS, and fired them,
but not before I lost a lot of money.  I
lost thousands of dollars because I?m an idiot and I paid most of the money
upfront.  Most of the work that his
un-licensed, unskilled ?employees? performed had to be completely redone after I
fired them, and in the end, he had the balls to tell me that I owed HIM
money!  This experience was an extreme
hardship for me and my family, I have been through many difficulties in my
life, but this was by far, one of the absolute worst experiences that I have
ever encountered.

This business has an F rating at the BBB where I already left a detailed complaint and they have caused me to not just lose my deposit for work that was never done but are additionally delaying us from listing our home and harassing us with threats of defamation lawsuits claiming we are not allowed to leave them bad reviews per their contract which has a 'social media clause'. The owner is verbally abusive, a pathological liar and did the same thing to me, to at least 17 other people that I could find online. They disabled their Facebook page and other review site profiles due to numerous complaints.
You will not reach a human being on the phone once you give them a deposit.
Avoid at all costs.

Damaged my home and property
Smoked in my home
Left half eaten food on my floor of my home
Smashed my daughter's bedroom light
Left paint on finished walls
Used and trashed my ladders
Didn't finish the job
Constant lies on when people would be showing up, 90% of the time no shows

The owner of NHCRS, Joshua, is a con-man. He came across as very honest and professional and I was excited to have perhaps found a company to take care of some of the many projects that I have on several apartment buildings. After the initial meeting, I was never able to reach him again until this dispute arose. In fact, it was near impossible to reach anyone at anytime to discuss progress or issues that arose during the project.
From the 1st day of work when they arrived with the wrong materials to do the job, to the last day that they were on-site, there were never any qualified workers to complete the task at hand. Most of the time they were ?labor-ready? laborers with no skills or tools appropriate for the job. There was one employee that gave it a valiant effort and we are grateful that he was able to at least get some of the problems rectified to a point that we would accept?.although his skills were not professional, he was.
Once they felt the job was complete, they charged my credit card for the balance without notifying me or gaining my authorization. Once I had the opportunity to review the work, I discovered that it was not complete and Jim, the ?Field Manager?, told me that someone would be out to complete the job by the end of the week. Of course no one ever contacted me again and I incurred the expense of having someone else to complete the work. I offered to pay the entire balance minus the $400 expense.
I got the credit card to issue a refund of the charges and then the email assaults and threats began.

 Here is an example:

After looking into you a bit, you have a questionable reputation. I am not surprised by your charge back. However, I don?t think you know me either.

1. Tomorrow our attorneys at Divine and Millet are filing a lien against your property and the business property
2. We will forward this to ********** as well.
3. We are filing a negative with Dunn and Bradstreet in the morning
4. We have fought the charges and have an initial win on that as well.
5. We will pursue damages through the binding arbitration clause of your agreement.

You are a scam artist, I look forward to this fight you will not win.

You had the work you contracted for done. Once you got what you wanted you disappeared, because you did not want to pay. I have gone the State Police who are gathering information from us about Theft by deception.

And??,

With that said we were in the middle of changing staff attorneys, and our new guy started on Monday. I just saw the Ex Parte Lien, and I have authorized him to send you, your business, and your partner to our collections partner Northstar Collections. Finally we fought the charge back, and the initial finding was in our favor, but it can take 90 days for the money to appear back to us, we are also having a meeting on Thursday with the firm that handles our Binding Arbitration matters. Once it gets to that point we will seek damages and fees. You may be used to working with desperate people you can take advantage of but that wont work with us. With that said here is our counter offer, you immediately stop the reverse charge and we will not pursue things. However your time is running short as our attorney is already in Concord filing a few other things, I have informed him to hold off on your filings until the morning, but if we don?t get proper resolution before5PM we will not make any further offers to you.

Rather than spend time litigating this with a con-man, I chose to pay the balance in full via check and am looking for a refund of $400 for my expenses to complete the job.
Thank-you,
Larry P
