Custom Concrete Solutions

SCAM!!!!! FRAUD!!!! DO NOT TRUST THIS INDIVIDUAL!!!!! Buyer beware on the above subject posting and contractor. This guy in a scam. He does not complete his work and has an endless list of excuses. This guys name is Jared Parfrey and operates under a unregistered company called Custom Concrete Solutions. He lists the company as located in Charleston and shows a 109 East Bay Street address which is a residential property on Rainbow Row in Historic Charleston. This company is unlisted with all local municipalities, unlicensed with the City if Charleston Business License Department and no records with the Secretary of State in South Carolina. He has no record/license with SC LLR (Licensing division) for specialty contractor work. I personally pulled a Police Report and Personal Record on this guy and he has multiple hits in multiple states for drug possession (marijuana, cocaine) and multiple hits for fraudulent contractor activity and unlicensed contractor work. I have personally filed a police report for fraud, unlicensed contractor and impersonation. I have additionally filed a civil suit against this individual.

Jared from Custom Concrete Solutions came to our home on Aug 8th and quoted us $850 to pour a 10' x 19' patio. He requested 50% up front as a deposit, which we paid in check and he cashed the next day. The next day, he came to our house, and ripped up the grass and started to frame the patio area. It started to rain so he left, which is understandable. It rained the next 2 -3 days so he couldn't finish, which we understood. Then several days went by and we couldn't reach him. Finally he called back and said he was going on vacation for the next week and would finish after his vacation. Which we accepted. Two days after he was suppose to return from vacation, we hadn't heard from him and called him to see when he could finish the job. The grass is starting to grow back at this point. He set up 5 different appointments over the course of the next 2 -3 weeks and he said he would be at our house that day to complete the project and never showed. We would call him each time he didnt show and he wouldn't return our call for days. When he finally would text us back days later, he said he was sick and then would set up a new appointment which he would never show up for. It has been 6 weeks and he has never come back to our house to finish the job. The frame now needs to be re-done because it has warped due to 6 weeks of on and off rain. He claims now he is sick and doesn't know when he can finish. We have hired someone new to complete the job and will give a review of their work next week when it is completed. We have requested our money back from Jared but don't know if we will get it. He might really be sick but it has been terrible communication from the beginning, ignoring us for days at a time, when he has $425 of our money. But if he couldn't finish the job, he should have been honorable and said that from the beginning and we would have been willing to pay him a few hundred for his time. I would never use him or recommend him to anyone. *** Update - this guy is a scammer who has taken money from many people for jobs he never completed and had no intention of completing. He is an unlicensed fake contractor who will steal your money. We are currently filing small claims and a police report along with several other parties he has scammed.
