I needed a garage built. I paid the contractor 20k to build it. This was over 2 months ago. He does not answer my calls or texts. When I did get on hold of him he always has an excuse for every time when we to meet or when I ask for my money back. He took my concrete pad out and that is it.
You likely have a claim under Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act. Failing without justifiable cause to complete the work for over 8 weeks is a violation of the act. The contractor is liable for three times the damage that you've suffered, plus reasonable attorney fees. A consumer or real estate attorney would be qualified to file a complaint on your behalf.
