Barry's Capentry

I hired Barry to remodel my downstairs bathroom and to install ceramic floor tile in two other rooms. I have a signed written contract and paid him half of the total price before beginning the job. He didn't show up for nearly 2 months. He continuously made excuses for not working. Finally he worked for 14 hours over three days then demanded more money. He walked of the job with my house key and left a big mess inside and outside. The PVC pipe he installed is leaking. Nearly 3 months later he refuses to complete the job and return my house key. In addition he used the name and VA plumbers license number of J & L Plumbing located in Falls Church VA on our contract. I've spoken with the owner William Gaskins several times and he admits to hiring Barry a few times but insists that Barry does not work for him and does not have permission to use his companies name or license number. I have given Barry the lowest rating possible. He is aware that I have reported him to the authorities but says he doesn't care and claims he is well protected. I have never met a person with less integrity. Do yourself a huge favor and select another person.
