Best Deck Installation in Austin TX
I made the mistake of hiring Joel Dellinger,Sr. aka Handyman Services of San Marcos to remodel my back patio. His contract specified that material costs over $1000 must be paid up front. We had a contract, so I thought I was safe by giving him the money for materials. What a mistake!!
He started the project and then abandoned the project. At that point, he only purchased a few of the least expensive materials. He did not respond to any requests to refund the amount that he had not spent on materials.
I ended up requesting an arbitration hearing (at my expense) as stated in the contract he provided. Joel did not choose to participate. After the arbitrator ruled in my favor, he still didn't refund the money. The next step was taking him to small claims court. He did show up for the trial this time. The judge ruled in my favor again for the original refund that I requested plus all legal fees accrued for a total of $3435.56. Again, I am still waiting for my money that Joel has refused to pay!!
