John Clark Home services formally Budget Home Services was contracted to build a sound proof walk in 8x10 server rack room and a wall closet with folding doors, some light electrical work, move a fan, add a light fixture, install two window A/C units. Also he was to clear out the space of desks, work benches, etc and haul trash off. The contract stipulated estimated completion 5 business days from 8/9/2012 Work commenced on 8/9/2012 1 1/4 days to remove the trash which he billed me separately even though it is listed in the original contract, the remainder of the second day was bringing the materials in. And the workers were gone for three days after that. I accepted the second billing since it included dumping fees, to date I still do not have the requested receipt for the dumping fees.

On 8/22/2012 I had to call John and release him from service, his workers did not show for work for the third time, and for the third time he claims the doors were coming he claimed they were with the workers who were arrested over the weekend for some minor violation.

On 8/22/2012 he claims they were being primed. Well I went and purchased the doors straight from Home Depot, so ordering and priming was not needed or was a lie. Which I heard bunches of lies during the process, including the Home depot would not deliver from the home depot close to my location, on and on the lies went.

I paid John $1,250.00 for 1/2 down and then two draws of 300.00 each for a total of $1,850.00 resulting in only a portion of the job being done but I paid him separately for the trash hauling in the amount of $160.00. The framing work was questionable and the only supplies purchase and delivered were for the framing and sheet rock process.

He should have paid one employee for 37 hours and another employee for 10 hours my estimate for labor and material on the contract was $835.00 so a refund of $1000.00 is what I expect. According to John now for the third time again claims he is taking materials back for a refund and figuring out what he thinks I should receive in a refund, this was on 8/28/2012 phone call. During this call I demanded and expected the refund payment by 8/31/2012.

On 9/10/2012 I received a threatening email from John saying he was turning me in to the City of Houston, & my HOA. To date he still has not mentioned the amount that he thinks I am entitled to.

He is a liar, is unreliable, and a cheat.
