A new addition or renovation can be among homeowners’ largest investments.
The I-Team was contacted by a homeowner who said he has faced months of delays, failed inspections and requests for payment ahead of schedule.
We uncovered that the general contractor he hired has a history of similar complaints and is currently under investigation by the Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board .
“They’ve been telling me they’re gonna come fix it”
“This was supposed to be my man cave,” said Moses Harmon, showing the partially completed addition going up behind his home.
He had hoped to be spending most of his free time there by now.
“On the right side of the room, I was going to pretty much have most of my workout equipment. On the left side of the room, I was going to have my pool table,” Harmon said.
He saved for years from his small landscaping business so he could pay cash.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever taken a step like this,” Harmon said. “So far, I’m out of about $45,000.”
