Steve's Contracting

I hired Steve's Contracting to renovate the main floor of a rental. Steve talked a good game, but when it came to working it was the exact opposite. He started the job late, never once showed up before 9:30AM, was generally gone by 3:00PM, very often with a two hour lunch. Then he wouldn't show up for a few days. What was supposed to be a 7 day job turned into one month, leaving my tenants with no water for a couple of days.

When he was supposed to come back, he never showed. I had to hire another contractor to finish the work, for which Steve was supposed to reimburse me. Needless to say, I never saw the money. I have since found out that he took thousands of dollars from someone else.
