I hired William MIner to level the floors in my house, I explained specifically what I wanted done and Mr. Miner agreed to do the work assuring me his work would be first rate. The work performed was so third rate and incompetently performed as to have caused structural damage to my house. I contacted Mr. Miner on several occasions about the problems and he promised to "come next week" to fix them. It's been six months and they have only gotten worse and he has failed to appear or contact me to explain why following every complaint I have made to him.
I paid Mr. Miner $4500 to make minor repairs to the floors (level them) of my house. The estimate to repair the damage he has caused has been quoted to me as a minimum of $8000. This contractor after examining the work of Mr. Minor and his crew discribed them as "being on a mission without a clue" Mr. Miner lied to me about the nature and quality of the work he intended to do. He lied about encountering a problem so he couldn't jack up part of the floor in order to obtain final payment, inspection disclosed that no attempt had been made to raise or level the floors anywhere under the back of the house.
Beams had simply been laid on the ground and shims pounded in between the beam and the bottoms of the floor joists. And the beams so improperly placed as to have caused some of the floor joists to tear loose from the structure of the house.
In retrospect Mr. Miner has lied to me every time I have spoken with him, so given this and the nature of the work completed I am therefore inclined to believe that fraud was his intent from the begining.
