hired a guy to do renovation, he did half way then run liao. really call also he wont pick up.

since not super large amount i also malas to chase him. we didnt pay in full anyway.

i googled his phone number and it leads me to a facebook post where others also have same experience with him, do halfway havent finish then run.

but i want to make sure others dont fall for his trick again. is there like a website like yelp or google review where we can rate contractors?

Is this industry standard for contractor to run away after customer pay the 80% of the job done

Anyone in renovation business can confirm this SOP?

Post his number everywhere.

Better yet, ask someone else to call him, say got big project. Ask him meet at site. Surprise him there and Then force him to refund

In media reports previously, Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan advised the public to hire only licensed contractors to undertake any building or renovation work so that action can be taken against them if they don’t keep up their end of the deal.
