    I have been doing business with Mainstay Builders since Jan 2022, they built a pole barn and deck for me. July 20, 2022 I signed a contract for a fence and to have my front entry fixed, total cost $13,000. I was asked for a $7000. deposit which I paid, the check was cashed the same day. This was the usual way all work was done, I pay a deposit, pay the remainder when the job is finished. I was told the work would start when they got materials. I checked 2 weeks later and was told everything was ordered, work should be started by the end of August. I have been talking to the foreman who hadn’t given me any trouble. I have been in contact with the foreman every week, always getting some story about lack of help, other jobs taking longer than expected, but always being told my materials are in, just waiting on manpower. Last Friday (10-21-22) the foreman calls, tells me Mainstay is out of business, I need to get a lawyer to get my money back. I have made SEVERAL attempts to contact Mainstay by phone and texts, I’m getting NO response and at this point I don’t know WHAT to do. If they aren’t going to do the work, I want my money back.
