Hired this vendor to perform work here at Howard University. Vendor requested funds to purchase materials because he did not have a line of credit to purchase the materials which is standard practice here at the University. The contract was awarded in April 2014 and on by the end of December 2014 he still was unable to start the project. The contract was terminated and the University asked to be reimbursed for the funds he requested for materials. Not only did he not purchase the materials he asked if he could reimburse the funds in installments. Yes, he spent the funds. It gets better, not only did he spend the funds he stop taking my calls. He only would reply by email because he said each time I called he was in a meeting or too busy to answer. Yet, he would send a half page email. He said and I quote " I am not ignoring you, but due to my schedule, it is best that I communicate by text or email, this is the time of the year when I must pound the pavement constantly and considerately to complete for contracts, ". Now I would think if I owed a customer thousands of dollars I could find time to call them. I recommend if you hire this vendor make sure the work is complete before you pay him or you may be needing lawyers as we do. Good Luck.

DO NOT HIRE THIS UNPROFESSIONAL MAN. His business is a complete FRAUD. He did the roof repairs on my mother's house, someone he claimed to love and care about and did an awful job. He had two incompetent workers do the work and never inspected it. We developed leaks that he simply mopped sealant…

DO NOT HIRE THIS UNPROFESSIONAL MAN. His business is a complete FRAUD. He did the roof repairs on my mother's house, someone he claimed to love and care about and did an awful job. He had two incompetent workers do the work and never inspected it. We developed leaks that he simply mopped sealant on to fix. I had to hire someone else to address the poor work he did because he would not return calls or texts. Stay away from him. We are in the process of litigation against him and his company.
