He did not get proper permits until it was pointed out to me by a neighbour who was renovating next door. The carpenter who he had working for him, made big mistakes which had to be rectified, although he had been told what needed to be done. Then he did not like me going over everyday and asked me to stop going, which I refused to do, seeing as things were not going well in the first place. He asked me for a large amount of money to do the work upfront for materials and then walked off in the middle of the job and did not refund the money back that was owing to me as the job had not been finished and the money spent did not cover all of the money given to him. Said that I needed to see a laywer. When I did go to see one, the news was not good at all. This man cost me so much money as he swindled me. He did not want to refund me the balance of monies owed, and I found out later that he was doing drugs and he came around to where I was staying at the time at an Airbnb and sprayed the corner of the house with bullets. Lucky, I was no longer staying there. The Police were unable to help. Whatever you do, i am warning you, DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS LIAR, DRUGGIE AND SWINDLER. He will take your money and will not give it back and will do a shoddy job, and will not listen to reason or criticism in the end.

WARNING: This contractor walked off the job (he had been doing a lousy job without permits from the City of Cleveland) and did not return my money which was quite a substantial amount. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE this guy as he will steal your money and do lousy work. And threaten your life while he is at it.

I needed a whole house renovated. He signed the contract to do the job. The job started with new roof being installed with out Permit, unbeknowst to me. Then he divided the 3rd floor into 2 bedrooms, did shoddy electrical work without permit. Did plumbing work without permit. When this was pointed out, he pulled a couple of permits but not all. We agreed on a price. He wanted half up front and then 2 other payments for balance. About 1 week after receiving money from me he asked for another $7000 because I wanted to by light fittings and vanities for the house. He said that he would buy them for me as he could get them at Tradesmen prices. So cheaper than I could get them. All up I sent him approx $42K, but he did only about $8-$10K work before walking off job. Only sms'd me. Did not have the nerve to tell me to my face what he was planning on doing. Anyone dealing with this man be aware, he is a crook and a con artist, a swindler. He is totally unprofessional in how he speaks and treats you and his work is shoddy and downright unacceptable to the City of Cleveland. Be carefull as he has several aliases too and several addresses. Now he will not give me my money back and says that he will deal with me thru an Attorney, although as a legimate home owner I have done nothing wrong. He walked off the job on May 8th, 2019 after starting it around 16th April, 2019.
