J & J HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTOR

On my advice, my girlfriend and her parents contacted Jeff about doing work on their 2 family house in June of 2008. He examined the property and we had to chase him down for a written contract which we did not receive until August of 2008. The contract was signed, a check for $4,000.00 was written and after a few weeks went by we began calling him to ask him the status. He continually assured us he was about to begin, but he never did. Finally in late October, early November, we asked him to simply return the $4,000 so we could hire someone who would do the work. He refused. It is now late March of 2009, he has still not returned a penny or done any of the work. We had to hire someone else - who did the work promptly and at less than half the price he quoted us.
