Business ProfileforTropic Renovations

I signed the agreement on October 5, 2021. Work began on November 22, 2021. I previously used Tropic Renovation for a bathroom remodel and was happy with the result. On a second project for exterior painting, it was the opposite experience. The owner, Jeff Lexvold, handled the second project personally. He made several, unwanted advances to the point I was uncomfortable with him at my home. Had I known he would be doing the work personally, I would have refused after the first incident. He was dishonest and his work was so shoddy it all had to be redone. I terminated the contract less than half way through and despite his claims that he wasn't trying to "screw me" - in every interpretation of those words - that was exactly his intent. He attempted to get me to reimburse him for paint included in the estimate, cut corners and did less than promised in the quote, used my supplies without my permission and never communicated when he would be working on the project which he promised would be done in a week but was less than half done after 2. After I complained, I was refunded $955 of the $3,950 paid. It is the sexual harassment I endured that bothers me the most. At first, he merely complimented me and stared in a way that made me uncomfortable. When he came for the estimate, I asked him why he was looking at me that way and he stated, "You are more beautiful than I remember." He brought me a bottle of wine and chocolate. The next day when he picked up my $1,000 deposit, he brought more wine and chocolate. I asked him not to do that again. I felt he wanted me to invite him in and he knew my husband was out of town. When he came on November 22nd - at 9:30 making me late for work, I handed him the first installment of $2,950 and asked if he needed anything else from me before I left. He stated, "That is a dangerous question. How about I give you back the check." which I believe was a request for work for sexual favors. it was an awful experience
