Hired Eddie Smith of "Home Solutions" (aka Genesis Construction, A-1 Construction, (eddie Smith) Quality Construction) ,Moulton,  AL from Home Advisor March 2016.  He received over $10,000.00 in checks within 5 weeks of starting the job of painting the house.  He obviously didn't know what he was doing.  My wrought iron railings began rusting through his paint job and money stopped.  Once money stopped, work stopped.  Currently in litigation and many people have been scammed similarly. He is unlicensed, not- bonded, and uninsured and yet will lie to your face and tell you he is all those things. He is a bully and will threaten you, if you want to fire him.  He is not licensed to write contracts with the Alabama Home Builders licensure Board.  **** Unlicensed general contractors in Alabama have NO LEGAL RIGHTS!  Therefore he cannot sue you, but you can sue him!

37 VICTIMS in MULTI-COUNTY SCAM!!

AUTHOR: DeborahE - (United States)

POSTED: Thursday, January 23, 2020

 1. Edward (Eddie) Ray Smith and his computer-savvy wife (and business partner) Cheryl Lynn Smith, have now wracked up 37 VICTIMS since I first met Eddie Smith aka Ray Smith in 2016. (Current date = 1-23-20)

2. The numerous aliases of their business names are carefully researched to appear as legitimate "Moulton branches" of successful businesses.

3. They ARE NOT the "Moulton-branch of Dreamwork Construction, Huntsville, AL nor Genesis Construction, Hartselle, AL

4. This business has had a BBB rating of "F" SINCE 9-27-16.

5. I have a notarized AFFIDAVIT from the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board dated 12-31-19 stating, "Eddie Ray Smith is not and has never been licensed" by their board.

6. The above statement is CRITICAL because any "unlicensed contractor" in the State of Alabama writing a contract for $10,000.00 single and/or aggregate is guilty of a CLASS A MISDEMEANOR.

7. Eddie and his wife DO NOT have LICENSES to do work, they are NOT BONDED, and they are NOT INSURED.

8. Any contract made with an "unlicensed contractor' in Alabama (at any price) is UNENFORCEABLE for non-completion.

9. An "unlicensed contractor" in Alabama may NOT SUE you for non-completion of contract.

10. Remember: "37 VICTIMS" noted since 2016!!! Deborah E Sargent MD 256-656-6473 drknockout@gmail.com

Update: Scammer Continues His Trek Across North Alabama...

AUTHOR: Deborah - (United States)

POSTED: Saturday, April 07, 2018

Hired Eddie (Edward Ray Drake) Smith of "Home Solutions" (aka Genesis Construction, A-1 Construction, (Eddie Smith) Quality Construction, Dream Work Construction) ,Moulton,  AL from Home Advisor March 2016.  

 

He received over $10,000.00 in checks within 5 weeks of starting the job of painting the house.  (The contract was for $12,000. 

 

He obviously didn't know what he was doing.  My wrought iron railings began rusting through his paint job and money stopped.  Once money stopped, work stopped.  Currently in litigation and many people have been scammed similarly.

 

He is unlicensed, not- bonded, and uninsured and yet will lie to your face and tell you he is all those things. He is a bully and will threaten you, if you want to fire him.  

 

He is not licensed to write contracts with the Alabama Home Builders licensure Board for over $10k and yet I met four (4) people on Jan. 2017 with contracts over $10k and one (1) with a contract over $50k!!!). There are several more listed on the BBB since then!!

 

**** Unlicensed general contractors in Alabama have NO LEGAL RIGHTS!  Therefore he cannot sue you, BUT you can sue him!     

 

PS...Now it is April, 2018 and he continues to scam and abuse the legal system.  He has been reported to Alabama Home Builder's Licensure Board numerous times for writing ILLEGAL CONTRACTS.  Also reported to Police for Theft of Property and Home Repair Fraud. 

 

He has changed his name again and currently using Ray Smith and Dream Work Construction,  Moulton, Al.  He continues to switch addresses (yet BOTH addresses are for the SAME house). He "Borrows" (= pretends he is the "Moulton branch") other company"s good names and ratings (he is NOT Genesis Construction LLC of Hartselle, AL. NOR Dream Work Construction in Huntsville.   

 

People assume that because he has a "256" area code that he is LOCAL (hence victims in Morgan, Franklin, Madison, Limestone, Lauderdale in addition to Lawrence County, AL.   He has an F rating on the BBB.  (which has been there since 9/26/16!!!)

 

This guy is FEARLESS. he knows MOST people don't want to admit they have been scammed NOR report it... 

 

He knows the legal system is SLOW, especially in Lawrence County, AL.  **(If you are fortunate to file in another county you will be surprised the difference in the ability to get "justice"). 

 

He has been sued multiple times and he just keeps filing bankruptcy and moves on to the next victim. (I personally have a list of 16 victims (and met 8 (eight) of them personally one day in January 2017).  And the list just keeps getting bigger.   (He needs to be stopped).
