Mr. Super Plumber, Construction, Restoration & Utilities

I would run swiftly in the other direction if you are considering using this company! Save yourself the headache.
Contracted Mr. Super Plumber (Maurice Walton), on Thursday, December 10 to do a very simple install and exchanging out of pipes and rough-​in in the basement before concrete was poured. I hesitantly gave him a 40% upfront and he also asked for another 10% when the job began. Regrettably, I did this and this is where the nightmare began. I know the job was simple because we hired a plumber afterwards who did the job in a half of day with a complete crew. Hindsight is always ²⁰⁄₂₀!
He showed up the following Tuesday with one worker that did not speak english (called him «his helper») and was completely unprepared to do what we had contracted him to do. He spent most of that first day talking and making excuses about why he could only work 4 hours the first day instead of 8.
Two days later his helper, Walter showed up to our house saying that he has not been paid by Maurice and that Mr. Super Plumber owed him $ 240 for two days of work. He indicated that Mr. Walton was not returning his phone calls either.
He said that he was tired from having to respond to an emergency at a woman’s house the day before. He asked me if it was ok for him to leave early after the first day because he was tired and that he was ahead of schedule. The work that he did on the 1^st day could have been done in one hour with a skilled crew.
Day 2 and 3 were much of the same, he showed up late, left early, left the jobsite on multiple occasions for «product runs», and had tons of excuses why a one day job had turned into 5. Maurice also communicated to me that my presence on the job site (the house that I own) made him nervous and asked me to trust him and that «good work takes time».
This was just another ploy and pressure tactic for him to avoid doing what he said that he would do. Aside from all of these other issues, Mr. Super Plumber was just unprofessional. There was zero urgency to do what he communicated at the time that he said we was going to do it. These were signs that I missed.
The entire time that he was on site he kept reminding me of how much money I was saving by using him and how «he wasn’t charing me more» for things that he began to see that he did not anticipate. I regret that I did not follow my first instinct when I met him and went elsewhere.
To date he has received $ 3700 dollars from me and on the following Monday when he promised he was going to get the job done has disappeared and is not answering my phone calls or that of our general contractor. He told me that $ 2700 were for materials and all he bought was $ 100 worth of PVC pipe at best which are still left on site.
I intend to file a police report as well because of this money that was stolen from me. To date he has not returned the deposit that we gave him and stated on the phone in our last conversation that he does not intend to.
I would run swiftly in the other direction if you are considering using this company or guy. I can not say this strongly enough!

Never showed up for a scheduled appointment. Also their voice mail says calls will be returned within 15 minutes. It took two days.
