David Pant – All Around Handy-Man

One star is more than David Pant should receive. My patio roof needed to be replaced. A friend of mine recommended David Pant. I asked David Pant if he had a contractor’s license and insurance? He stated that he did NOT have a contractor’s license but he did have insurance. (My husband, having been a roofing contractor for over 40 years and I myself having had a Painting and Maintenance company was pretty sure the part about having insurance was not completely truthful.) After I agreed to David Pant’s somewhat written estimate he hired my friend with a verbal agreement of ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ on what I had agreed to pay for labor. The first couple of days were great. David Pant, his teenage son and my friend arrived on the day agreed upon with all the materials. The old roof was torn off, MOST of the new plywood was installed, MOST of the remaining prep work was completed and they began installing the new shingles. That was the last I heard from David Pant. My friend, feeling bad about David Pant not returning and not answering phone calls did a lot of extra work by himself. I then found out, through my friend’s wife, that David Pant had NOT paid my friend the amount agreed upon. David Pant told my friend, that he’d had extra unexpected expenses. His truck had broken down, he had to pay his son, and other problems. None of these were my friend’s problem and none of these expenses should have come out of my friend’s agreed upon share of the labor. I am now stuck with an incomplete patio roof that WILL leak into the shed should it rain any time soon. I left David Pant several messages letting him know that I was going to write a review on «Yelp» but since he never answered I have to assume he doesn’t care what kind of review he receives.
