I am a contractor and I work with/for some very reliable builders who have very high standards when it comes to their work.
Shania I’m sorry for your loss. Also I’m wondering where you found out about the contractor that took you for so much? That is who you should also be upset with.
I will only refer select contractors to people who are looking for a referral. I look at a referral as a direct reflection on my business and would never want to have someone come back dissatisfied with someone I referred to them.
May I suggest you call the Better Business bureau and fill a complaint about this company? Also contact as many supply places in your area and tell them of your experience so that they know of this company and their work ethics.

I do not ask for a deposit until work has started, then I only ask for money for materials.
I usually do not take money until work has progressed.
Last, good luck with your new project

Maybe ladybug was applying the same type of stereotype to local contractors that you have applied to lawyers and politicians. You know, that they're all lower than low and not worth a darn.

But, hopefully ladybug has had time to overcome her stereotypes; after all, before today, there hadn't been a post in this thread in six and a half years.
