I was originally supposed to pay $1600.00. One of the trees fell onto my shed, damaging it, due to his carelessness. It also took out a telephone line and cable line. Virginia Power had to come to fix the powerlines. I wanted him to fix the shed. He refused. I had only paid $400 up to that point. Since he refused to repair the damages he caused and he left a massive pile of debris, I said I wouldn't pay remainder until those issues were resolved. He kept calling me for the money, but would not come out and do the work. I called the police and explained the situation and they said that the information on his flyer was bogus, including his phone number and address. There is no way for me to track him down and the police told me to contact the BBB. They were unable to help me either. I'm leaving this report as a warning to others that might have received the same flyer and are thinking about using his services.
Description of Work: He was hired to cut down two trees in the backyard.
