    Max ** ******* is/was owner, salesperson, and general contractor for Chief Wood Finishing. After receiving a kitchen cabinet refacing quote from Max in Feb 2022, my wife and I hired Max, which included a payment of 50% up front. After a little work was done, and claims that materials were in the shop, I paid Max another 25%. Max claimed he had a cabinet shop with equipment valued at over $1 million. We later found out that his was likely not true, as Max was subcontracting all work. Max was responsive to texts, phone calls, and emails immediately prior to receiving a payment. However after receiving payment, Max was extremely slow at responding to texts, phone calls, and emails, sometimes taking up to a week or more. Max made many commitments to have subcontractors do work on certain days, and almost all commitments were not kept. Subcontractors told us that Max did not pay them, and some were owed a lot of money. We also know of other customers from whom Max took money, and apparently did not complete the work. Max said he was going bankrupt, but verbaly agreed to pay us back what we paid him less the very little amount of work that was done. A day later his phone and email were out of service. Max never paid us back, and we had to hire another company to do almost all the work. Although Max said he was going bankrupt, the Bankruptcy Trustee does not have record of him filing for bankruptcy. Service Alberta said Max should have had a prepaid contractor license, but he did not.
