DO NOT USE THIS SCAM ARTIST!!!!! I hired Cody Barnard to build a metal deck for me. We agreed upon a price and signed a contract on feb 5th 2019. The contractor originally said that I would pay the bill in 1/3 increments but that soon changed and he continued to send invoices despite not completing the work! We were in contract for a month and he only showed up 2 days to work. 11 other days in that month time he was scheduled to show up and was “no call no show”. He placed some very poorly placed post that are not safe or secure and can be pulled right out of there cement base. He also attempted to build the metal deck by using untreated white wood of 2x4’ and 1x3’s despite knowing it needed to Support a hot tub. His team he brought out to help build the frame was also very unprofessional as they were smoking and throwing garbage all over my law and were recorded urinating on my driveway on ring spotlight camera. I attempted to let this contractor go once and he bullied me into continuing to use him making more false promises. He claimed to Order new composite decking from Home Depot and provided us with a quote from them claiming he was having them deliver it for insurance purposes. The composite delivery was dropped off at the wrong house on the final date the contractor was a no call no show and by “some dude he paid at Home Depot” to deliver it. The composite decking was not what was in the quote as they should have been 20ft boards and they were only 10 ft. The composite did not appear new and had tons of dust on it and multiple boards were stained. He did not file for a permit with the city when he said he do and also lied multiple times related to this fact. He suggested waiting till the permit was given but he insisted it would go through and continue the project. After I had enough of his lies, scams, and fraud I notified him that he was fired he responded the next day via text message and was very hostile, harassing, bullying, and defensive really making me fear for my safety and my home. I had paid the entire agreed upon price plus some in the Contract but he continued to try to bully me into paying him an additional 1300 to finish the deck. He continued to claim I owed him money and threatened a lien on my home, the amount owed to him also changed 3 times after he was fired then threatened to charge interest on money he believed I owed him. Now I am left with a bill to demo the poor and unsafe frame/structure he built and tear out the posts and have someone do the job right as well as trying to get my money back from this contractor.
