Sofos Construction

Just over a year ago ,I gave MrBuono and Sofosconstruction , a deposit check for $5000.00. This was a quarter of the cost of the project. At this point I have nothing but drawings that aren’t even permitted or sealed. A year later. Completely useless. I’ve been told ‘we’ were waiting on permitting . There’s been no permit application applied for, the City of Tampa has provided me with proof. I requested my deposit back. MrBuono refused. I’ve obviously been ‘dooped’. Somehow Sofos is ‘entitled’ to my deposit..? . This guy assumes zero responsibility for any of his dealings and is constantly shifting blame. At this point it’s not about my money but being sure he/they don’t get anyone else.
