Business ProfileforOld Time Masonry

I signed a contract with Old Time Masonary 4/3/22 to complete stonework around my deck for a walkway and sitting area. The cost was $6800 and a 50% deposit was required of $3400 dollars. Wade Hall the owner told me that they would like to get it done about a month later but that there was a possibility it could be moved to the following spring depending on weather conditions. I messaged Wade 5/14/22 and he said, "i'll call you later today bud", but I never heard from him. I was not concerned as Wade has done work at my home before and they did a good job and were very courteous and I know they were busy. I assumed the spring would most likely be when it got done. I contacted Wade 3/23/23 to check in with Wade to see when approximately we might get things done and to let him know the area was cleaned, prepped, and ready. I never got a response. Out of respect I realized he is behind on his work and my project wasn't urgent so I just waited. I contacted Wade again 5/15/23 again to get an idea when this would be completed. No response. I contact Wade again 5/16/23 and 5/17/23 but no answer. Wade has turned his phone off to receiving calls and closed his email account. I also reached out to him on facebook messenger 5/16/23 but no response. At this point I'm assuming that I have been robbed of $3400 which is a significant blow to my family and I. Companies like this should not be allowed to operate as after some research the past couple of days I see that this is a pattern for Wade and he has done this many times. Wade strategically put a po box as his address and has cut off all communication to anyone. I would like a refund if he cannot come and do the job within a week as he has lost my trust and I don't believe that he is coming back.
