Dishonest unprofessional bobcat service
Unprofessional. Asked for the money up front. Promised me work is to be done. He didn't finish the work. Charged for 4 hours left in 2.5 hours without any notice. Left jobsite for 10 minutes and he was gone. His son is a young kid with no experience on machine. Ripped me off and blamed it on a dentist appointment when I called him. waste of money. I'm a contractor and I wouldn't recommend him or use him again. Stay away and be careful of this guy Henry. Worse service ever. Please take my advice don't give him any business. Lazy and looks like he has a drinking problem.

This review is being taken seriously but as a professional who has been in business over 25 years I find it disturbing. First of all the 4 hours plus a float charge is the minimum for most jobs, this was discussed and approved by you prior to us showing up on site. As a contractor yourself you know about minimum charges and the practice of asking for the money up front – it is a hard fact but some people are not honest and find a reason not to be there at the end of the job, therefore payment is not forthcoming.
Secondly, the scope of the job was to spread top soil on area’s that were already graded by someone else, this was complete and before you left to get cigarette’s you seemed good with the job done. Additional garbage removal or re-arrangement of it on the property was not discussed prior and therefore not part of the agreement.
Thirdly, I take pride in the work Henry’s Bobcat Service Inc. performs, this includes the work of my son who has gained experience over the last three years, spreading top soil is one of the jobs you need less experience. As you know I was there at the end of the job when you were not (we were there at least 20 minutes not 10 after you left), the job was complete and there was no reason (even if I did have a dentist appointment) for us not to leave. Lazy is not in my vocabulary and I would stand up in a court of law against you for stating I am Lazy and looks like I have a drinking problem. I run a business 24/7 and cannot do this drunk – by the way I seldom consume alcohol.
