Macadam-Forbes Construction And/or Joe Weaster took our money ($46,780.05) and walked off the job. Joe Weaster and Macadam-Forbes refused to pay his sub-contractors. Cedar Park Texas

PLEASE SEE THE REBUTTAL I WROTE ABOUT MACADAM-FORBES CONSTRUCTION.

THIS HOMEOWNER IS NOTHING MORE THAT A LIAR.

MR kirkpatrick lied..its just that simple. he filed 3 complaints with various agencies in austin, all 3 were thrown out.  He then tried to file criminal charges, that was thrown out of court and all charges dropped.

he got $46,780.05 worth of work and $46,780.05 worth of a brand new kitchen, living room floor, painting, sheetrock repairs, termite damage repairs and much, much more.

what Mr kirkpatrick is unwilling to admit is that he falsified photos (showing work that was substandard) that was not in my contract.  stating i would do work that was not part of the original contract. showing damage that was done to the house prior to my starting the project on sections of the home that were not part of my contract.  he fails to state he would not pay for the extras.  he refused to seek another place to live during construction (he stated they would move during construction) which made my job that much harder.  damaged funiture he stated that we did was done by his dog prior to my starting the job or either done when his dog sleep on it when it was in the garage...

when he wanted for me to pay for a change order that he requested for the countertop and i refused he got mad and threw me off the job.  what he didnt know was that i had already pulled my people off the job until he paid for the outstanding extras that were due.

he lied from the day that i would not return until the day we showed up in court.

and then he was confronted with having to produce evidence to support his alligations, he realized he could lie no more.  the case was dropped as were all charges.  and Mr kirkpatrick is left with just the fact that he paid more money fo file the charges and he is still a lying vindictive homeowner.

every dispute that has ever occured between myself and a homeowner has been succesfully resolved..except this one

i have completed thousands of remodeling projects since i started this business in 1992.  the vast majority have turned out wonderful, ive had some complaints as does any contractor that has been in the business as long as i have, they all were resolved.  but i have never been called a thief.  that is just a LIE
