I am an elderly grandmother who thought I was hiring a deck builder. Instead I discovered I hired a one man company, Thomas James, who has no transportation, used Uber to get to my house. Owns no real tools to build a deck. He had to buy some tools. Found out that this is the first deck he has attempted to build. Gave him a large sum of money that I thought was being used for deck expenses. There is a misunderstanding about the money I gave him. Instead he paid his charge bill and grandfather with some of the money. I have had to charge a huge amount for materials plus pay for delivery. Thomas James has spent the deck money I gave him. He has made many mistakes trying to built this deck for me, wasting materials, bad saw cuts, poor design, choosing wood that is not meant to be used outside on a deck etc. Plus, I had to pay another person to haul away the deck Thomas James tore down. This price he quoted me is not close to what I have had to already pay out for an unfinished deck with lots of mistakes. Now, Thomas James wants more money from me as I believe he has no money to even pay an Uber to get to my house. I have not seen Thomas James for several days and I have a very unsafe and unfinished deck attached to the back of my house! Thomas James is not a professional deck builder and should not be using the houzz name to advertised for work. He definitely is not a deck builder! As of today, June 16th, 2021, the deck project is not completed! I have paid out a huge sum of money for an unfinished and unsafe deck!
