Beware of dealing with Eli - Eladio I Delagarza, this man is a professional hustler, liar, and cheat. I told Eli I had a budget of $1,000 labor for a job I was looking to hire him for, he said he wanted $1,700, we ended up agreed on the price of $1,300 labor only, with a deadline of 3 days for the first portion of the electrician project. Eli asked for a contract, which i generated. While on the phone, Eli was very convincing, very smooth talker, "Wants to help people", he's a good person, blah blah blah. Said he would work with me didn't want to burn me or scam me like some people, he said he would do a portion of the job, get a small portion of the payment, and so forth. There was 3 portions of the job, first portion was worth $300-350 labor, the second part was worth $600 labor, and the third part was worth $350 labor, Eli was made aware that permits were pulled and paid for, inspections would be done, prior to issuing payment. This man is RELENTLESS on attempting to RE-n*g and renogiate a deal.

Guy would NOT STOP. Wasted over 3 hours on the phone attempting to PUSH, BULLY, and DEMAND unfair obscenely high payment amounts that he had not earned yet. Eli apparently cannot read a written contract, and has ZERO integrity to STICK to a deal / contract struck. Eli would constantly call me every day for 7-8 days in a row, trying to re-n*g, reneogtiate and change the price and terms of the deal, no work was changed in the contract, only Eli trying to shake me down and squeeze me for more money. Eladio I Delagarza of Beaumont, Texas is a Very DISHONEST person. He TELLS you exactly what you want to hear, squeezes you for money he hasn't earned yet, refuses to show up for work, takes other people's jobs over yours AFTER accepting the contract and demanding partial payment upfront, refuses to honor terms of the deal or refund the money he hasn't earned.

This job  was supposed to be finished within 3 days with inspection on day 4, Eli shows up with other guys/helpers, trying  to pawn the job off on them, they don't want to do the work, Eli tries to be middleman marking up the price 200% for not performing work. Eli wasted about 10 days of my time, lied to me claming he performed work that I have pictures of from a previous contractor completing the work, Eli is just a Professional Hustler and Con Artist.  Don't believe 1 word this man tells you, because he will squeeze and shake you down for more and more every day, won't do work, won't respect deadlines or timeframes, just wants to take your money and run.

Calls you at all hours of the day and night, when HE needs money tries to get you to Zelle him more and more money and wants FULL PAYMENT upfront and ACTIVELY WANTS to AVOID inspections claminig he's never failed a single inspection, and says he's an honorable person he'll come back immediately to correct or fix any work if it wasn't satisfactory but this is a total lie, he won't do the work in the first place.
