3rd Generation Sparks Masonry

I contracted with Andy Sparks, owner of 3rd Generation Sparks Masonry, to do two projects for me. Andy said both projects would take 10 weeks total to complete; but it’s now been over a year and neither project is complete. I’ve caught him up in so many lies it’s pathetic. He says he has asked around and has been told “by others” that he bid the jobs too low. Recently, he says to me “You’ve gotten your money’s worth”. I still can’t believe he said that to me! NO, I have not gotten my money’s worth, what I have are two “unfinished” projects. Now, he says he doesn’t have money to pay his workers to finish the jobs he started. So I offered for my son, son-in-law and myself to work weekends with Mr. Sparks to get the projects done, since he says he doesn’t have money to pay his guys to finish the projects, but Mr. Sparks says he needs to rest and have family time on the weekends. Mr. Sparks supposedly has taken a job working for Duke Energy as a Supervisor; but it’s my understanding that he’s still bidding on jobs, through 3rd Generation Sparks Masonry. I’m posting this review because I don’t want others to get taken advantage of like I have been. I know it’s hard to find people to work nowadays and you might be thinking, “maybe 3rd Generation Sparks Masonry is not as bad as this guy is making them out to be.” You’re right, they’re actually worse. I have a lot more stuff I could post about this company and I have everything documented! But, if you are so hard up and decide to give them a try, DON'T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY UP FRONT! If they say they need money for materials to get started, you better pay the vendor direct! DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT give them any money directly until they actually “complete” your project or you’ll be sorry. If I was you, I’d just call someone else! I know I will. What am I’m saying, I have to call someone else in order to get these projects completed..
