On 4/15 I signed a contract with Avalon Home Services and Steve Arnold with work to commence on 4/27. He estimated that the job would take 3 weeks and that installment payments would be required based on work delivered. I paid an initial 10% deposit for the amount of $782.50 and the estimated amount for the total work was 7825.00. We wanted a copy of the contract and Steve said that it was his only copy but that he would put one in the mail the next day. This should have been the 1st clue!
4/27 Demolition began on the Shower.
On 4/28 I wrote another check for the amount $2200. This was to cover the tub and counter top manufacture.
On 5/8 a change order was created (delay of 3 days)
Check written for the amount of $568.92
On 5/8 check written for $2655 - Included all fixtures for 2 sinks, bathtub and shower. (These have not been delivered)
I have repeatedly tried contacting Steve since 5/20 as I was starting to get worried and no updates. This included his cp, work number and email address. Once no msgs were returned it prompted me to google his name and Avalon and 'usacomplaints.com' came up with multiple occurrences of homeowners having the same nightmare that I believe I am in.
The last time work was done was on 5/18. My bathroom is completely unusable with Toilet sitting in the middle of the floor. There are still building materials out behind my garage and various other stuff in the bathroom, closet and bedroom. Overall I'm out $6200 dollars.
