Avicenna Construction Inc

contractor took advance to change basement joist, never completed the work. finally took him to small court. Got judgement again him, and fail to recover the money

He was hired to re-finish our basement after Hurricane Sandy. They were to have the job completed in 6-7 weeks and after 12 weeks it was less than halfway completed.  All the easy jobs were done and the more complicated; tiling, flooring, windows, doors etc, were left to the end of the job. That's when he decided to walk away from the job with 3/4 of the payment and all these things left undone. Needless to say we are upset that it is now going to cost us the amount we already gave him in addition to thousand of dollars more.  We were warned not to use him because he has done this in the past, but, we went against our usually cautious manner and used him because we knew him through someone and decided to have a talk with him about this. He explained it was a misunderstanding with the other client and promised it would not happen with us.  Boy were we wrong in hiring them.  He pulled the same stunt with us.
