HARDIN SECURITY

He gave me an estimate and needed the funds up front to order the countertop. Over the next couple months, I received every excuse and lie under the sun...delay in shipment, illness, lost phone, girlfriend using company funds, problem with lawyer, etc. until I was unable to contact him and leave anymore messages. He disconnected phone, work phone, home phone, business address is bogus, website no longer working, etc. Total scam! Do not do business with Stephen Hardin!

BEWARE the owner, Stephen Hardin, he has no CCB# in OR (lost it in WA)says he is insured/bonded but he isn't. Walked off on the job when confronted with quality of work & costs of materials. Says he lost receipts & proof of insurance when his truck got stolen (lie). Never returned unused money & refused to fix the botched job on framing & drywall. Said he subcontract out but he's a one person business. There are others who have been taken for a ride from this guy and we have contacted CCB office in Salem and are retaining legal counsel to stop him from committing fraud and stealing people's hard earned money. He takes short cuts to save on materials(inflates the price)and labor and pockets that amount. He doesn't show up everyday and when he does its only part time. He plays golf & doesn't work if he has a tournament. He gives bogus addresses so he can't be summoned to court. Don't spend your time or money on this scam artist. He has no business cards & references are people he knows.
