We signed a contract on 01/09/2021 with Stermer Distribution/Dean Stermer to build a tractor barn on our property. The contract defined the price, draw schedule, and completion date within 3 months. The first and largest draw was due at signing. Thru January and February, he continually stalled and made up excuses for delays, even saying that one of his employees had stolen our draw money from him.
After the concrete pad was finally poured in April, he demanded the 2nd draw and disappeared. He did send some workers out in May to begin framing. Framing was never competed, and some of it needs to be torn down because of the poor workmanship. He stopped contacting us or returning our calls. We sent certified letters to him that he never picked up. He finally agreed to meet with us on July 9th, six months after we signed the contract and had nothing to show for it but a pad and a partial, pathetic attempt at framing.
We recorded the entire conversation in which he apologized and said he would pay us back for the incomplete project. He then played his stall game again for about a month, even saying he would have a check to us in before the end of July, which or course never happened. He lies and makes up excuses, anything to delay any legal action and buy himself time.
He has no problem stealing from people. He owes us $95,856 and has made no effort to make good on our contract. Stay far away from Dean Stermer and Stermer Distrubution. He is a thief.
