We paid David for plans for a large garage and fairly large addition to our house. Because the projects were pretty significant in size and within a month or so of discussing the project him, we had a death in the family and an estate to manage we were off to a later start paying him then we planned. Initially when there was little to no communication upon paying him, we chalked it up to him being busier now that time had passed. Nonetheless, we modified the scope to focus on the garage first (not too significant as I found one online that I could buy, the online company would just need to modify the building and garage bay door height as we want to park a higher clearance vehicle in the garage). YEARS later we had nothing but a LONG LONG list of excuses as to why he couldn't get the garage plan alone together. After at least 10 emails promising the draft by "the end of the day" over the course of almost a year, I took him to small claims to ask for our $1,000+ deposit to be refunded. The date was continued due to the court being super busy and while we were walking towards the parking lot at the same time, David had the audacity to tell me that we actually owe him more money! Do yourself a huge favor and save your time, energy, and money and find yourself a professional engineer who doesn't sell empty promises. What a nightmare! read more
