For two years, we have been trying to get Jim Washington (a.k.a. American Pole Barn) to either put up our building or refund our money ( $ 17,000 ). The building was paid for in full, and Mr. Washington agreed to start construction in two weeks. We haven't recieved anything! He does not return phone calls or make any effort to put this right. We reported this to the Ohio Attorney Generals office. They were very familiar with him , as this seems to be his common practice, however, they have refused to do anything about this crook. We just recieved a notice in the mail that this dirtbag is filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy, so I guess the money is gone, with little hope for recovery. Meanwhile, he'll be out stealing from other people in no time.This guy is a true lowlife... BE AWARE!

Due diligence
AUTHOR: Pole Barn Guru - (United States of America)

Before even calling a potential contractor to make an inquiry - check out their website (no website is usually a sign of potential problems), what is their BBB rating (again, if the BBB does not know who they are, or they have a poor rating, we forewarned)? Verify they are registered to do business in your state and that (if required) their contractor registration is current.
Before you sign a contract with a contractor - have him provide a copy of his contractor's registration, a certificate of liability insurance, copy of written warranty, three written references and the names and phone numbers for his accountant, banker, as well as lumber, truss, door and steel supplier.
Call all of the professional references, how long have they done business with the contractor? Does he pay promptly, have they had issues with him?
And do not pay a builder in full for a constructed building at time of order. Some common sense, can save a plethora of grief.
