"This contractor was assigned by American Home Shield to address my washing machine shaking during the spin cycle. Donny with Lake Area Appliance Service came out and informed me that this is a common issue that happens over time due to normal wear and tear. He said (word for word) that the tub had become unbalanced due to it warping from years of use and that once that happens, it just gets worse and worse from the weight of any clothes being added. I have this conversation recorded for 3 reasons. The first is that I had a very uncomfortable interaction with another contractor AHS sent out for a completely separate issue and I was home alone. The second is because I read reviews for this contractor before they showed up and not a single review was positive. Just about all of them reported them lying about the true issue, causing AHS to deny the claim and I was nervous I would be another victim of this (and unfortunately, I was). I even expressed this concern to AHS and asked for a different contractor and they said this one was the only one in the area… in Dallas, TX… sure. The third reason was because I’m not as mechanically knowledgeable as my husband and knew it’d be easier to just play back the recording vs attempting to repeat what the contractor said. All that to say, I have this man recorded telling me the complete opposite of what he told AHS. He told them that it was not normal wear and tear (my washer is over 10 years old) and that it was unbalanced due to overloading it (it’s just me and my husband and we barely fill it halfway each wash). When AHS called them to confirm my allegations, Rhonda hung up on them. This company is disgraceful, dishonest, and I truly don’t even understand what they have to gain from this. I’ve begun the steps in taking this “business” to small claims court as this is absolutely unacceptable and it’s clear they do this all the time. Thankfully I have concrete proof to back my claims."

"I set out a point by point Project Plan, agreed that I would supply and pay for all materials, reviewed the project plan with Willard and we agreed on a price. Although he said it may be as much as 2K more, I was prepared to deal with this when we got to the end of the agreed upon price. I paid over half the total amount up front as I trusted Willard having hired him for small jobs before. My family and I were leaving on vacation just after the first 1/2 week of work. Willard told me that he had to go see his sister, but his crew would be working while he was gone. We returned and nothing but the bathroom demo had been done. Willard returned and shortly thereafter started wanting more money. I was not happy with this and found out he had spent all the advance money I had given him and was now unable to pay the sub-contractors required to complete this work. His subcontractor showed up at my home to do the new shower I had scoped. At my home, we had this work, fixing 2 soffets and painting them, removing an old gas heater, capping off and fixing the tiles, refinishing the attic, hanging a new garage (interior steel) door, fixing a broken cabinet in my bathroom and re-sheet rocking a panel of wall in my bedroom that had been ruined by the prior owners. In that week, his tile guy built out my shower and it was lovely. The glass doors were not in when he was done so he said he would do this himself. One of Willards guys did the soffet work and painted and it also was done well. In the attic they used a leaf blower to move the insulation around to be able to lay the boarding. There was an argument over how this should be done which I would not get involved in. They finished the attic. The insulation was not put back in place or under the boarding, so now the hallway under this area is hot as all heck during the summer. My husband is going to have to go back and take out the boards put the insultation under them and then reattach the boarding. Willard hung the steel door, but had not cut out the area in the door frame to install the deadbolt. They went back to my other house as it was critical and way behind schedule. His tile guy wanted me to pay him directly, which I did as Willard had no money to do so and had told him I would pay him. So for all the work I listed to be done at my house. The door still has no deadbolt installed, the wall in my bedroom and the drawer in my bath were not done, the glass enclosure is in my garage in a box, Back to the other house: Willard had me meet him at Home Depot one morning to rent the stripper to refinish the wood floors and we had a heated discussion as he was still talking about not having money, and I told him he would just wind up working other jobs and doing mine when he had time, if he didn't leave me completely in the lurch and I was not happy with that. At that time we were already at the second deadline he had given me and the only things done were the demo'd bathroom, the plumbing for the shower and tub install (which I had to pay the plumber directly to accomplish), the interior painting (again which I had to pay the guy directly to get done), carpentry work on the outside of the house (which was and is still not painted), 3 steel interior doors hung (done and working), All fixtures in the house which I had purchased new (still in boxes), the countertop in the kitchen (still waiting), installing the toilets, vanities, mirrors, etc in the bathrooms (still in demo condition on both counts). AFter yet more weeks and weeks of this ****, I told him ENOUGH, i"m done. I called the locksmith and changed the locks. Funny thing, all those days he said he would go to my house and never worked, or showed up late. He showed up early to make sure he could get his tools out of the house. I will never, ever hire Willard for anything again!"
