Northeast Metals Northeast Metal Deposit money stolen, no show for roof installation and no return calls Laconia New Hampshire

Jonathan Taylor owner of Northeast Metals in Laconia New Hampshire breached of our verbal contract and commitment dates regarding the installation of a metal roof to our house. His refusal to return our phone calls emails, and text messages in keeping with our verbal contract (including a written contract in our possession to be signed) put us in a position to terminate the installation with Jon at Northeast Metals.

The roofing project was agreed to be completed on the 3rd or 4th weekend of September 2013 (the 4th weekend being the rain date). Those dates came and went with a no show and no further contact with us. Jonathan was supposed to commit to order/deliver materials once he received our deposit check in the amount of $1,666.00 and to also obtain a permit. Neither happened.

Northeast Metals failure to be on the worksite by the allotted time left us with an exposed roof only to be covered with a large tarp.  We had to react quickly and as a result, all materials expense and installation/labor for the roofing underlayment was completed by me with the help of family and friends. This was agreed to be Northeast Metals responsibility as stated in our written contract. 

I started to get bad feelings about Jon, when after the third time we asked him for the references he said he would send us. Beware! Apparently, he doesn't have good references to share. He comes across as a very nice guy talking about family and coaching football. Again beware. Three addresses show up under his name when you Google it and we don't know yet, if the business address is legit either.

We, expect a full refund in the amount of $1,666.00 for breach of contract and services not rendered. To this date, we have not heard from Jon. Our last contact with him was on September 17th when he told me he was going to take final measurements of the roof. He disappeared after that.
