Beware of Ross Weaver Construction and Excavation. He was contracted to excavate a home I built in Park City Utah. He committed to have the job done in three months. After getting the contract and doing about 25% of the work he stopped showing up. He would work a couple of hours or a couple days and then be absent. We tried to work with him and this went on for a couple of months. We found out later Ross was training for a marathon rather than showing up for work.
Ross tried to hold us hostage saying he needed more money or he wouldn't finish the work. At this point we hired someone else to start completing the job. He was upset and we offered to let him continue working which he did for about two weeks but we said it was contingent upon him being there on the job doing the work. He also asked us for an advance which was to pay for a hydraulic hammer he rented but hadn't been current on paying his bills. This was the only commitment Ross kept, we forwarded him money and he was there for the two weeks working.
After this he tried to extort more money out of us which we dismissed him from the job and had the other contractor finish the work. Ross even had the audacity to lie to the equipment rental company claiming we didn't pay our bills for which the owner started calling us. We showed the owner the receipts and proved it was Ross Weavers lies and games.By the time he was dismissed the job was 6 months into a job that should have been done in three.
You would think Ross would have been man enough to accept responsibility but his lies continued. He claimed the survey was wrong and that the information he was given was incorrect and that he removed more loads. I had the survey repeated and a model of the excavation to demonstrate all the information was accurate... The survey was correct he just couldn't calculate correctly or load his trucks to full capacity.
Ross found an attorney that had a robo business slapping unlawful mechanics liens on developers, proceeded to sue us for the balance of the contract that he didn't complete which was about $27,000. Remember he was relieved for not showing up on the job and we only paid him for the percentage of the job that was completed. We paid the $27,000 to the contractor that stayed on the job and completed the work.
The lien interfered with us selling the home so we bonded over it. At the time my brother who was the general contractor passed away and I wanted to move on and eliminate all negative influences in my life so I offered Ross the $27,000 to go away. This guy is such a greedy crook that when he found out the bond was for $60,000 he wanted it all. I put my foot down and told him I would spend $100,000 to see that he got nothing if he continued his extortion. He finally took the money with the realization he wouldn't get anything. Also, the Utah supreme court finally established and sided with us that it was an unlawful mechanics lien.
This guy works without licenses or beyond the limitations of his license. He has two incidents in the past he was fined for doing so. Worse is his portrayal that he is an upstanding and religious and faithful follower of the mormon faith. He is nothing more than a crook. I think Ross is just incompetent and a bumbling impersonation of a contractor. He has a history of doing these types of antics and scams with insurance companies too. Ross will reap what he sews and if I can prevent one person from getting took by this cheat, it will be well worth it.
