I met Bruce in the late fall of 2016. I thought, that I had done my due diligence, I checked many of his projects first-hand to determine if Bruce was capable of performing the work. Bruce was to order our materials for our custom home back in December of 2016. Bruce requested a sizable deposit for the materials and instructed it would take around 6 weeks for the product to arrive from Maibec. Bruce advised the product was being ordered, through Peacock Lumber. I gave Bruce a very large deposit, so he could order our materials and that, the work would commence shortly after it arrived. In the interim Bruce was to install, the house wrap and strapping. In the interim, we had Bruce, start with the installation of the house wrap and wood strapping, in order to prepare for the siding installation. many weeks past and the house wrap was still not installed and the strapping, that had been installed was done incorrectly. I spoke with Bruce on the matter and He advised, He would fix it and do whatever it takes to make us happy. around this time we were excepting our order to arrive. I checked with Bruce and he advised, it wasn't ready because of the holiday shut-down. several more weeks past, house wrap and strapping still not completed, Bruce and I had a heated discussion and He advised, He no longer wanted to do our project. I requested the invoice or purchase order from Bruce. It wasn't until several days later, that I received a quote, that he forwarded from his supplier Peacock lumber. I called Peacock lumber and they confirmed, our order, in fact, had not been ordered.
I confronted Bruce on the issue, (His response, was that I caught him off the guard. Bruce, then tried to tell me, that, he had a revolving account at Peacock lumber (not sure what that means?). He then told me, he had used our deposit money as part of a down payment on a house. ( I found out much later, this was, in fact, another made up story). you can contact Peacock lumber at 905 725-4744
