  Business response

  Responding to the complaint  of  **************************  on july 27th I was called by ************************* and was asked if I could help him with a few repairs to an outside shed.             

  He accompanied me to ********** and I suggested what would be needed to accomplish what he was trying to do. It was a set schedule on when he wanted me to come and help perform work which was only Thursday, Friday and Saturday the other days he had to work so I agreed to help him on those days and advised him that I had a few projects going on before starting, he stated he understood what I do.  We had no contract in place because this is my uncle by him being my mother's brother. I gave him a rough estimate of the labor cost of everything he wanted done. Of which was only a rough estimate of labor chargers not of the work that was done. Every process was photographed and documented  before and after. In his complaint he stated that on september 4th I came by which was correct after I called him and knocked on the front door which also has a camera which he doesn't speak about and (anglela *******)  was home but never answered. So i retrieved tools that were owned by me and only after i called his phone.He called and said he didn't hear me call which he does wear a hearing aid so it may have been difficult for him, but a message was left but he did acknowledge that i called but he didn't hear it. In the statement he also stated i became hostile which i can't recall but after a phone conversation he wanted to stop work and i told him i didn't have a problem with it.  In his statement he is asking for $4,800 of money that was never paid because he only paid for work that was done. I never charged him for work that wasn't done! He also stated he filed a police report but nothing was stolen. He also stated that i never returned on september 3, 2022 those were the days he had the electrical come by so we agreed to hold off until he finished his work because the electrical i called couldn't make it due to personal issues which i did let him know. At the conclusion he only paid for work that was done never prepaid for work in advance and there wasn't a contract of work written thru Blast away painting llc only a rough estimate of labor for what he wanted done. Being that he knows the type of work I do he wanted me to help him not do the job in a whole.
