Calhoon Construction LLC

After the garage was completed, I asked him to do some work in the kitchen. I gave him the money for the materials, and he never came back. He kept giving me excuses as to why he could not come back.

Nightmare

An absolute NIGHTMARE! The worst experiencing I have ever had with a contractor.

 I have a rental in memphis and took advantage of the tenants' move to have the  kitchen floor and half bathroom redone. My wife placed an ad on another site where Steve Calhoon, owner of Calhoon Construction, LLC  contacted us  to perform the job which he  started on December 29 ( all work was performed by him).   The work moved ahead while I was present but I had to return back home in another state for work. The house was on lock box and Mr. Calhoon stated not to worry that he would have everything finished within a week.

This is where the scam started. Mr. Calhoon began to delay the work leaving the memphis area for Kentucky on several occasions (he provided a KY license when asked for ID) . He then started to send emails claiming that he needed more money to cover additional items and worked extra hours . There were duly sent. Then he called irate stating that he did not get one of the checks. I overnighted him a replacement one. He fraudulently cashed both before i had the chance to cancel one . When I tried to contact him to request the return of the extra money he cashed, he went incommunicado  and never returned any calls/emails.

I immediately requested  a third party physical inspection of the work performed at the house and basically the results are that NO additional WORK was performed and NO additional materials were purchased for the extra money provided.  When I notified him of this, he finally came out of hiding only to claim I stole his tools and stated that he will put a lien on the house if I don't return them. That is the kind of professionalism you will experience if you select him.

I am now with a kitchen/bathroom half finished. The laminate flooring is not flush with the wall. There is missing base boards in the half bathroom and kitchen closets. The bathroom sink is not hooked up to the water line. The plumbing under the sink is nonexistent. Paid him $98 for splash guards that are not found anywhere in the house. The toilet is not clamped down to the floor and just sits there unusable. The upstairs bedroom is unpainted. 

Basically I have a house that I cannot rent until we spent more money to finish the work Steve Calhoon of Calhoon Construction LLC was paid to do. 

Unless you want the same experience to happen to you, DO NOT USE Steve Calhoon/Calhoon Construction LLC! BEWARE!

Steve was supposed to have fixed the roof on our motor home. He came and looked at it.said he had yrs,of experience. He wanted a deposit up front and some money for materials.he came right away to start on the motor home.after he showed up a couple of times, we ask him could he jack up our house and level it since he said he had 30 yrs experience in the construction business.he did have references,but,our mistake was not calling any of the references about him.the first couple of times he came he did ok.then it got to where he would work an hr, and leave because he had to go out of state, or he had to go get something for the job.he put the concrete pads down under our house one day while not working on the rv.he put 2 coats of roof sealer on the rv roof,we went out one night to check the roof,and there was water coming out everywhere in about 5 to 6 spots and water all in the floor,he came back the next morning and we told him.so he sad he would finish the house then he would buy rubber to do a rubber roof on the rv at his expense,since he signed a contract saying it would be guaranteed for a yr.so he started jacking up the house and jacked maybe 2 inches and came in and said that the concrete was cracking,that he needed a piece of steel to of, that he was going to get the steel and he would be back in the morning and that the last time we seen him.he got to where everyday was an excuse why he didn't show up his mom was in the hospital dying,then by some miracle she was better and having chemo.then his kids would be home or he didn't have a babysitter.so after telling us for a few weeks almost every other day he was coming we realized he wasn't.he would even tell us on the phone he would be there and couldn't figure out why we were upset.so here it is 2 months later and the rv sets under a tarp so it doesn't flood inside the motor home and our house is still setting on a jack and we are out 900.00.,we were really nice to this guy even gave him a cup of coffee every morning.i advise anyone stay far away from this man.
