.... A good professional would have prepped it correctly before he ever started! Honesty, nowdays, does not mean what it used to. "He simply took the money an run" I would get a lawyer and "run after him"!
Amen and Amen. The reason he took it to someone else was because he was not "qualified" to do the work. Thats why he took it to a professional.
...I'd ask him to "right his wrong" and if no satisfaction then I'd invest in a $50 consultation fee and find out how to proceed. Its not just the 100 bucks he's out but all the other damage.In some cases, and I have done this here in S.C., you can do a small claims type deal, and go before a magistrate/judge without costing you an arm and leg. A few years ago it cost me $50. I got satisfaction.
If the guy "gets in your face about it" I'd notify the BBB, a letter to the editor, and anything else I could do... .just for my own satisfaction. I've spent money just to prove a point!! We do not have to put up, or take such crap and its time folks PUSH BACK when wrongfully taken advantage of. I still say the very first sentence in the quote above says it all. My .02....
