Bowman Construction & Home Improvements

Unfortunately, no work has ever been done for us by Mr. Bowman. In early August 2012, he accepted and immediately cashed a check for the purchase of fencing material (which was not to be ordered until the permit was obtained). Shortly thereafter he called to let us know he had already ordered the material and was awaiting our notification that the permit was ready. Following a delay in getting the permit, we contacted Mr. Bowman and he said he would be starting the job shortly. In spite of numerous attempts to contact him via telephone and email, we heard nothing from Mr. Bowman until a few weeks ago - 10 months after he was to have done the work. In the intervening period, we filed a complaint with the magistrate and took time off from our jobs to be present at the hearing which he did not even bother to attend. A judgement was made against him on May 14, 2013 for the amount of the downpayment as well as magistrate fees. When Mr. Bowman finally did reach out to us via email in August 2012, he claimed to have no knowledge of the judgement against him, and said he wanted to "make it right". The first contact indicated that the fence material was sold or otherwise unavailable. After we informed him that we wanted our money to be returned, he suggested that we cancel the contract we have pending with another fencing company and allow him to do the work as the fencing had somehow miraculously materialized. We have declined his offer to do the work and have heard nothing else from him. Now we must pursue other avenues to try to collect the judgement awarded to us by the court.
