Ted Steele Home Improvements

I hired this person in May 2016. Asked for $5000 deposit which I gave. A few weeks later asked for $5000 for material. And a few weeks after that said he misjudged and needed another $5000. He very rarely showed up for a 6 or 8 hour day. Sometimes not at all then one day never showed up for days. No contact no message. Had his work estimated at $7000. He walked away with $8000. Hired a lawyer. Can't do nothing. He owns nothing. Please do not hire this person.
