Summary of Dispute

I paid Lucas $5700.00 to replace my old deck. He should have started work Memorial Day Weekend - Sunday and Monday when it did not rain. He did not show up and did not respond when asked why he did not come. He did come June 2nd and June 8. June 2nd he forgot his saw - lost 2 plus hrs. Removed old floor boards and railings and put down new floor boards. June 8th he came with his daughter. He picked up old flooring and railings for their bonfire and put up 6 old, rotting posts - stating they would be covered with new railing system. I asked him if deck would be done by July 4th - he said yes. That did not happen. Ghosted me entire month of July. On August 3rd I sent him a message "Another month has passed and my deck is nowhere finished. Not acceptable. Return my money and material receipts or finish the deck by August 15th. No More excuses" He did not respond.

Summary of Transaction Venue's Actions

He has excuse after excuse when he decides to cover his absence. He does not communicate with you. He does not respond to questions. Only response was September 12, 2025 after I posted on his Facebook page a photo of the unsafe condition he left my deck in. Then he wanted to 'talk' 'argue' and threaten. I want my money back minus the cost of Trex boards he put down with receipt for cost of same. He should only be paid Apprentice Level Carpenter wage for 12 hours of work, at best. He should not be paid for breaks, phone calls and off site ''snacks' with his daughter.
