Edward Humphrey Ripoff Botched Siding Jo

After reading all of the other reports, I don't think we have it so bad. Signed a contract with Edward Humphrey in January for the siding of our home. Against our better judgment, we gave him a 40% deposit. He was supposed to start in early March. Early March came and went with no word from him. We tried every which way to contact him, but to no avail. We finally received a call back from him... He said he was in the hospital with kidney stones (really!).

To make a long story short, (we already know how many people he ripped-off since he is now in jail) he actually started our job in the middle of May. The job was completed, but with part of it with the wrong materials. We tried to stop the subcontractor to let him know that he was using the wrong color, material, etc. But he would only reply "it's what Ed gave us to work with". The only saving grace is that we never paid him in full. He came to our home begging for money. My husband threw him off our property and said he would mail him a check when the siding passed inspection (it still hasn't, and he also lied about getting the permits and only applied for one after we bugged him about it).

I feel so horribly for everyone out there whose money was stolen. I feel so lucky that at least most of our siding was put up.

At least he's in jail now!
