I wright this without prejudices.
He was referred by someone we respect, and things started well. I provided pictures, and was specific about the need for it to remain a 2 vehicle garage. The reconstructed masonry leans and is twisted, the original bricks could not be matched, so they decided to use half on one side and half on the other. the sloped roof pools. Aluminum siding was done very poorly (dings, bumps and scratches all over). The concrete pad was not a uniform thickness, and they damaged a drain pipe in the smoothing process. The garage no longer fits two trucks. My big mistake was not being specific on the contract. Get it all in writing before you start, was not helpful as he claimed after the fact that that's not what he meant. He kept saying " wait till I'm done you will love it" I am ashamed to show my neighbors, and will be undoing most of it and paying someone to redo most of it. I have learned that going to court is a waste of time, people like that will just stiff you in the end, even if you win. He threatened a lien, I payed him to stop work and never come back. His workmen have been showing up at my house asking for money .
