I hired Mike Van Arkel of Can Do It Handyman Services to do additional projects after he completed one project for me. He itemized the requested services on his form and we agreed on the cost of each service. I paid him a deposit of $600.00 on the total of $1900.00. He completed two small projects from the list totaling $175.00. He just started the third when he left suddenly, saying his kid was sick and he would be back Monday.
That was four weeks ago. Repeated phone calls resulted in him admitting he was "working another job" (twice, in two different towns) and would be back to me "soon". Eventually, I asked for the balance of my $425.00 deposit returned. He has promised to come by with a check several times but never does. He says with each follow-up phone call that he "doesn't have the money" and offers yet another day to come by with the refund.
