A Corpus Christi woman hired a contractor in June to repave her driveway, front, and rear patio, paying him a down payment of $4,000 down. Nearly 3 months later, the work hasn’t even started.
The Troubleshooters made 2 attempts to contact the contractor, to give him an opportunity to give us his side of this situation, but he has not returned any calls.
All that homeowner Melissa Wolff wants is for the guy she hired to show up and do what he said he would do.
“What about the first time you met him, when he knocked on your door, and you opened the door and you saw him, what about that meeting and the conversation convinced you, that’s the guy? He just seemed very professional and trustworthy. And he was just professional to me,” she said.
Wolff’s talking about Luke Martin, the contractor she hired in June.
The total cost for the driveway, front, and rear patio was $8,000, but Wolff paid Martin $4,000 as a down payment. Martin had told Wolff the job would be done by the end of August – almost 2 months ago.
