Payment was declined to make any further payment, stating that any miscalculation was the Contractor’s responsibility.

Complaint Summary: • Keystone Remodeling and Restoration was paid for work that included installation of a fully functional shower. • The shower continues to leak and is not functional. • The Contractor has allegedly refused to complete necessary repairs unless an additional $800.00—an amount disputed by the Customer—is paid. • The Customer believes this constitutes an attempt to collect funds not owed and is effectively being “held hostage” for payment. • The Contractor has not provided requested billing documentation from Lowe’s for materials purchased.

Not provided requested receipts or proof of material purchases from Lowe’s. 4.
