I contacted a gentleman who did repairs on my roof. He worked for a company called Storm Service Solutions in Cortland, Ohio when he did my roof. I texted him and asked him if he did bathroom repairs, he said yes. He came to my house and told me it would cost $1,250 (cash only) to repair what needed to be fixed. After a few more text messages asking how he could guarantee that he would come back to do the work once I gave him half down (the other half due upon completion of the work). He said he would give me a written contract and a receipt for the money I gave him. This all happened from 2 p.m to 6 p.m Friday, March 13, 2020. I agreed to have him do the work through a text message for him to do the work. I told him I would have half the money on Saturday morning. At 8 a.m. on saturday morning I texted him to postpone the repairs, because the county I live in closed all schools due to the coronavirus. I told him I wanted to wait and see if my job was secure. He said in text, I could not cancel because he already special ordered the materials. I asked him to cancel the order he said no. He showed up to my house and him and my husband got into a yelling match. My husband told him to leave the property. They guy called the police and said my husband verally assulted him. Then a few hours later I received another text telling me that if I did not pay the $403.26 for the materials he ordered he would file a lien against my home for $5,500 which includes interest, legal fees, breach of contract, and verbal assault. I told him there is no breach of contract because I never signed a contract and never gave him any money. He then texted that because I agreed to have him do the work through a text message, that was the contract. Furthermore, he said not to contact him again unless it was to make payment arrangements for the $403.26 to be paid in full for the materials. Can he do this???? Everything was done through text messages!
