Description of Work: I worked with the owner, Gary Hart, over a 2 year period beginning in 2009. I consulted with him for a complete backyard remodel project. He referred me to his friend, an architect, to have plans drawn up. This cost me approx. $1000. Due to the economy and his health problems, the project was delayed. We picked up the project again in January 2011. It took him over 2 months to send me a revised estimate. When he finally sent the revised estimate, it was accompanied by a contract. He called me 2 days later, on a Monday, and wanted to start work on Wednesday or Thursday of the same week. I told him that we had some concerns with the contract, especially the payment schedule that was based on weekly payments instead of on percentage of work completed. He told me that if we did not sign the contract and start work that week, he would have to start another project in the meantime. I said that was okay because we did not want to be rushed into signing a contract we were not comfortable with and also, none of the materials, appliances or fixtures had been ordered at that point so we did not want to be stuck paying by the week while we were waiting for materials, etc. to come in. He said the next project would be at least 4 weeks. After 3 weeks, I called him to check on the status of his other project and to let him know that we had ordered appliances. The next day, I received a short email from him telling me to find another contractor. I am very disappointed in Mr. Hart's lack of professionalism. I invested a lot of time and money into this project based on Hartscape being the General Contractor. After spending 2 years with Mr. Hart and being ready to proceed with the project but for the contract revisions, I am now left having to start from square one again with a new contractor. Mr. Hart knew that we wanted to have this project completed by the end of June and now, because of his unexplained and abrupt departure, that definitely will not happen. I am very skeptical of Mr. Hart's intentions looking back now as he was rushing us to get started and trying to force a contract on us, and then when we wanted to revise the payment schedule to be more fair to us, he dropped us high and dry. I definitely would not recommend this contractor to anyone.
