I am writing this letter to inform all potential clients to beware of Michael Anthony William’s owner of Project Restore & More LLC.
I own a professional business finance consulting business where I assist business owners to obtain business financing for their company. Mr. Williams was referred to me by a colleague to assist with funding for his company. During my interaction over the phone with Mr. Williams he learned that I had some work that I was working on obtaining quotes for my personal home. Mr. Williams stated that since I was helping him obtain funding for his business that he would work to give me a good offer for the renovations.
I thus invited Mr. Williams to my home to show him what I wanted to do in my basement and main living area. He took some pictures and wanted to take a few days to run some numbers. On his next visit to my home, I told him that I wanted to begin the work in my basement which included painting, installing projector and speakers in theatre room, and bathroom remodel. Mr. Williams constant words were that since I was doing his loans for him that he would work with me.
I informed Mr. Williams that I still needed the numbers to prepare the budget for the work. His first number came in at $11,500 for the entire basement. I thanked him for the offer and informed him that I needed to think about it and discuss it with my wife. He responded by saying “you know what, since you are helping me with my business and you just purchased your home, I am going to look out for you. I will do the whole thing for $4500. To myself I am thinking how he just shaved off that much money so fast in his head. I hesitated and said, “wow that is a great price!” He went over the details and stated that basically he was doing it and the $4500 covered the cost of materials.
Now, the second time he came to my home it was March 10th, 2021, and later that evening he sent me a text at 11:06pm that said, “I have another proposition for you…Like I said I really appreciate everything you are doing for me. If you can get everything done for my loans, I will do everything we discuss for the basement for NOTHING!!!!!” Now after seeing that I paused and said to myself something is not right. Nevertheless, I called him the next day to inform him that I could not allow him or anyone else to come into my home and work for free. However, if he could honor the $4500 price for the basement then we had a deal.
Over the next few weeks, we worked on coming up with a custom color that was going in the main floor area. Then on April 2, 2021, I received another text from Michael that said, “I forgot to tell, I got a shipment of granite came in this week…I’m going to do your kitchen countertops for free (housewarming gift). He said again, “I really appreciate what you are doing for me and my wife.” In the coming days he brought over samples of granite for the kitchen as well as samples of flooring and tile for the basement bathroom.
On May 1st Mr. Williams sent me a text message and informed me that he emailed me an invoice, then on Sunday, he called me to inform me that he will need $4500 deposit to get started on the work. He stated that the deposit was for him to get the materials and supplies to do the renovations that we discussed. On Monday May 3rd Michael showed up with a painter and we briefly discussed what was going to take place. I informed him that my son was on my business account and that he would get the $4500 check around noon for the deposit. Later that day I was able to review the invoice that was emailed to me only to realize that it was for $25,445!!!
