    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

    His resolution is nothing but lies. I never approved and overages except a **** verbally which is why I agreed to ***** in charges. It was write at *****. When he discussed extra plumbing he told me it would be under that amount which there was no extra plumbing he moved the locations of the sink and shower and attached new plumbing there it would be impossible to do less with his decision to redesign the layout. He also left the previous sink drain open allowing toxic fumes into my house and a lot of my previous flooring in crawlspace to attract bugs. He also did not insulated plumbing or connect drain correctly to shower. My new contractor recommends complete start over from the bad workmanship. That combined with his very violent, theft, breaking and entering and gun violence history until a few years ago made me not want to accept his offers. He did not want to give a refund which is what the **** was it was for the supplies and labor for other bathroom he never began that I prepaid for. It was actually more but I took off the **** I allowed him to go over. I was even allowing him to not finish the first bathroom it still has lots of work he removed my heater and thermostat without permission claimed he would replace he did not. He removed all outlets and one for no reason in room next to bathroom that is not a master bedroom like he keeps claiming. He never put in exhaust or replaced light or added speaker. He never finished the drywall putty or paint. Lots of plumbing was loose and shower is not sealed correctly my new contractor has to essentially start over. None of this probably even matters he changed the name of his company to brass legacy general contractors so no one will even look up his reviews. He has a pattern of doing this to customers. I am now taking him to court to *** him. He refused to ever complete contracts to term it said rest due upon completion I caved once and wouldn't again and he refused to honor the contract then spent half a day trying to come up with solutions 2 of his I accepted but he backed out but now I don't want him to ever come in my house he threatened violence twice. Both solutions was doing work instead of refund.
