Rico's Construction

He spit and sputtered and begged and pleaded for another chance and I said no. He made excuses, etc., etc. said he'd fire Jesus #1 and put his "best guy" on it (he told me Jesus #1 was his best guy...hmmm). I told him I wanted a cashier's check for $2250 and we made arrangements for him to return to my house the next day (Friday 5/3/13) at 4:00 p.m. with my money. Mr. Gurule and a worker DID show up on Friday but unannounced at 1:15 p.m. I think he thought I would not be home. He came to get his scaffolding, wheel barrow and buckets. I asked him if he brought my money and he said "no" so I refused to return his items. To date, 5/5/13, despite many attempts, he has broken numerous appointments and his phone goes straight to voice mail. He is not returning my calls and has virtually disappeared. Mr. Gurule owes me $2250.00, the return of the money I advanced him for work that has not been completed. I will not employ this person again as I no longer trust his word or his work. Unfortunately, I have lost a great deal of trust in people as a hand shake is even more binding to me than a written contract. He took unfair advantage, was untruthful (even about being licensed), and I warn anyone who reads this to not do business with him. Shame on him. Buyer Beware.
