Pyramid Custom Masonry

I have no idea where to start. I only gave this company one star, because «no stars» and «negative stars» isn’t an option.
I saw the owner «Morris» working on my neighbor’s driveway and asked him to come by and work on my mother’s walkway. He made it seem like it wasn’t a problem and negotiated the contract with my mother throughout the week. He even drove to Miami Beach (from WPB) to get the initial deposit. He said that it would be a one week project and we took him at his word.
Needless to say, the whole week, he barely showed up. Would come to the house at about 12 – 12:30 in the afternoon, and leave by 2 – 2:30. I don’t know what part of that work schedule validates the initial deposit he needed, especially considering we were buying the additional materials (dirt and soil). I asked my mother to ask him if he had another job because he wasn’t showing up and working an appropriate schedule, and he said «no.» He wouldn’t call her. He wouldn’t tell her if/​when he was coming by. Nothing. My mother said he needed to communicate better because she just needed to know what was going on. The next day, he knocked on the door and proceeded to tell me that he did, in fact, have another job. (so basically, he lied to my mother.)
My two neighbors saw him working on the house and asked him to work on theirs. He started BOTH OF THEIR PROJECTS and STILL hasn’t finished mine. Then I realized that as long as he appeared like he was working, then he could get paid from everyone. The one week project has since turned into a month long project. And since then, it has rained, so the dirt that was supposed to covered has washed into our backyard. The dirt we paid for, by the way.
We finally got in a professional and have had all the shortcuts and shoddy work pointed out to us. Also, the «workers» that he claims to have are just guys he picks up at Home Depot (one of them told us) and he will continue to tell you «my phone died» «my truck died» «I’ll be there Saturday» and his favorite «I got you» whenever you voice any concerns about the lack of progress.
And this isn’t even the full story. He brought his child by on a Saturday. I don’t know what kind of full day’s work I can expect from you when you have your son here, just staring and walking along the site. Also, he asked my neighbors to write their checks out to «cash.» Then lost the check. He comes to the site without the proper tools and then asked my neighbor to borrow his ladder, which he then stole and my neighbor had to call the police. Morris then lied about having the ladder in his truck and when my neighbor called him out on it, finally confessed he took the ladder to another job site.
I hope this has spared someone the grief of using this company. And I KNOW he paid someone for that website, because it looks professional, but what actually happens is you get your money stolen and no work done.
Hand written contracts. No copies. Never answers phone calls. I am THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED!
DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
Also. if you Google maps that address, it is an apartment complex. He also isn’t registered in SunBiz and has a complaint on the Better Business Bureau website. I just wish I had something to use in court so he can be sued. I wish I could upload pictures so you could actually see what was done (or not done)
