Structure Home Builders LLC

In the beginning, everything seemed to be going well and on schedule. Then the house was built too high on the foundation and the troubles began. There were constant over runs in costs and time. It turned out that subcontractors that he used previously would not return as they hadn't been paid and the ones that he was able to convince to work on my house soon found out that that they may or may not be paid. I had subcontractors taping notes to my house asking for payment from me - although Ricky Thomas had already taken the draw from the bank. For example, it took almost two months to get the roof on the house. The roofer that he hired came and sent two laborers to start the roof and left after two days , never to return.. It turned out that Ricky Thomas had not paid the roofer for another job and the roofer came and took materials that I had paid for as payment. This continued with the plumber, cabinetmaker, etc. who took pieces off the house to hold "hostage" for payment. As every promised completion date came and went, it became apparent that I was over my head with this disaster. Ricky Thams took to ignoring my phone calls, missing appointments with me to discuss the hosue, and vacating the premise before I could get to the house. I had to take off work and drive to the other house that he was working on and "catch" him. He blamed everything on the subcontractors. Eventually, I fired him and had to complete the house myself over a period of a year and a half. I was not able to get the subcontractors back into the house to fix their poor workmanship as they had not been fully paid and would put a lien on my house - as if it were my fault that they hadn't been paid. Ricky Thomas comes off as a likeable and trustworthy person, but he is a terrible builder.
