Way To Fix It

I hired Way To Fix It (Wayne) to complete a remodel job at my house. The work was to be paid for through a 203k loan through my mortgage. I bought the house on March 2^nd, and I received an estimate from Wayne in Jan/​Feb ’15 for work to be done. The mortgage company sent him a check for a 50% deposit of the estimate in early March. Wayne completed a couple of the smaller items that he was scheduled to do per the mortgage. However after doing that, he completely disappeared. He stopped answering my phone calls and text messages. On the rare occasion that I was able to speak with him, he kept coming up with excuses as to why he had to delay starting the remainder of the remodel job at my house. Since the mortgage only allowed me 6 months to complete all the work, I feared the Wayne was not going to complete it. Thus I fired Wayne and asked for the unused portion of my initial 50% deposit back. As of today I have not heard back from him or received my money back. I fear that I will need to pursue legal remedies to get this matter cleared up. Wayne has been a nightmare from the beginning and I highly recommend people do not use him. Besides the fact that he has provided horrible customer service, he also stole my money and has provided me with much heartache.
