A "Contract" is a binding legal document, put a lien against his home for amount unpaid, plus 20% for legal fees. Being a so called "contractor" himself, he knows what's coming. Don't allow him to get away with anything.
Bro, he never intended to pay you from day 1. It was 100% a scam. You should sue him for the rest of your money. The job was perfect. Absolutely beautiful
This customer is a complete turd who wasn’t planning on paying you in the first place, your gut feeling about this clown was right! The work you and your crew did is absolutely phenomenal, cheers
I’m a small town accountant. The bulk of my clients are family owned businesses. When I have them for meetings, some of the time is allocated for them to vent to me on the tough year they’ve had. It pains me to see grown ass men cry their eyes out because they can’t keep going. This scammer has a place below the ground reserved when his time comes.
I have done Concrete over 40 years. You did a dam good job. Some people are just jerks until they get punched in the face
Just a little advice... Doing concrete work is tough. But structure your payments as follows 30% up front, 30% when all the form work is done, 30% when the concrete shows up, 10% on final inspection. And 15% labor increase on any change plus extra materials cost multipled by 3. People like him take advantage of honest professionals like you.
You let him get away with it... He never was going to pay the full price for the work. This is why you take a person like this to court
that pour is insane, wish I could afford something like this. This is care and expertise at its finest. If anything, be proud of that solid work.
For those of you wondering it was 40% That's what the customer paid Odelle. I had to scroll through the comments for an hour to finally find it 😂 Great work on a successful job well done minus the stiffing of full payment, and congratulations on a very successful video.
I was a drywall contractor for forty years, and learned really quickly that if you're getting bad vibes from a customer early on its best to run before you're past the point of no return. Hard work deserves respect and full payment.
That concrete turned out perfect. 100% that guy never intended to pay you in full. Customers like this are exactly why I don't touch residential landscape projects any longer.
Never be afraid to sack the customer. If you doubt you are going to get paid, tell the customer to pay up front, if they won't sack them.
Don't let him get away with it. File a lien. Even if he never pays it will follow him for quite some time. You did a fantastic job.
40% is nuts. Please hold that abuser accountable - he owes 100% plus every change order (rebar, rebar chairs, the upcharge on the 4500psi concrete, the oiling the forms, the extra labor for the 4500 psi concrete (and mark up the labor even more for “last minute” change where you had to scramble to find them)). File and perfect your mechanics lien. Take him to court - preferably small claims, if your jurisdiction permits that. With your documentation and videos, I can bet that most judges would side with you right away.
Great work. Efficient and amazing craftsmanship. As an electrician I know your pain of having these kinds of customers. You bend over backwards for people and they have the audacity to pull stunts like this. I’ve learned some clients will never be satisfied with the work no matter how beautiful I make it. Keep up the good work man. You’re making a difference in so many people’s lives. God bless
As a retired construction inspector, your crew worked great. I dealt with the customer and told them I will deal with the contractor. You have to get the right words to deal with them, to make them think they thought out the right solutions. In fact, sometimes they would get less than that, when they would get more if they would let the workers do their jobs.
Nothing better then a homeowner standing behind you telling you how to do your job .
I owned a landscaping company, in our contracts we would add the wording. After signing if the customer wanted to change anything then a new contract would be written up with an added 10% fee.
Great work man seriously came out solid the attention to detail was top of the line.
Had many years in the building industry. Had a couple of customers like this.
