BEWARE!!!!! Todd took 115.000$ from us and ran! We got a text from him one morning that our basement is to much for him and he will not continue with it. So we were left with framing, drywall and a subfloor for 115.000$ .... even signed a contract!

Hello Yvonne. It has been awhile. Just checked the Homestars site and thought I would respond. I will try to make short and sweet ad possible but still tell the true story. You have failed to mention about the nearly $20k in electrical that was completed, the $12k in completed plumbing, the broken out floors and underground plumbing and then repairs to concrete floors, central vacuum supplied and installed, the marble tiles throughout the laundry room and bar area ($8k), framing (you mentioned), drywall installed and finished throughout ready for paint (with arched walls and several bulkheads and even the recessed walls for the custom built 8' fish tank at bottom of stairwell and also the theatre room bulkheads with a huge amount of wiring rough-in done for custom strip lighting and also the several speakers installed in bulkheads), gas for the $10k new fireplace installed, new garden door, custom walk-in floor level trough shower with niches and custom trough style shower head, and the list goes on and on and on. Your project was something right out of a magazine. Would have been a beautiful finished piece of art. Unfortunately, you fail to mention that I gave you and your husband an up-dated invoice that had nearly $60k outstanding and owing to current date. He gave me $10k and said he was trying to come up with some more and would let me know asap. We contined working for another 10-12 days and then asked how the monies were coming along. He said he would let me know asap. Personally, I was worried as I am not a huge company that can finance projects for a long time. I simply told Jeff that I would need to hold off on any further work being done until we straightened out some money issues. Again, we are not talking pennies and Jeff was also being laid off his job at the time and was starting a new job with substantially less pay (his words). Also, I pay all my workers and sub-trades on a weekly base so I collect funds as we proceed so to pay them. All trades and workers were paid 100% in full, even though I am still at a loss of nearly $25k out of pocket on your project. Hopefully things got better for you and Jeff and were able to complete your dream basement.
