HB Contracting (Harold Bishop) Stay Dry Roofing (Carolinas) Harold Bishop Fake estimate and deposit for roofing and plumbing and disappeared. Myrtle Beach South Carolina
Harold Bishop, AKA Stay Dry Roofing and HB Construction out of Greenville, SC gave us 2 estimates after being referred by a realtor's client. He noted he was very busy and in order to get on the list, would require a $1900.00 for both roofing repair and plumbing repair.
He was repeatedly contacted and only rarely called back to set a date, only to not show up. This repeated over 6 times over the 2 months. He never called to cancel and never answered direct calls.
He lied and noted he was licensed; and we checked with the state and BBB and he was not licensed.
Requests for refund have been left unanswered. He was sweet talking/ quick on the excuse list; such as truck breaking down, being unexpectedly out of town and said he had a stroke. He did come to the house with his son and could have called any of the times to cancel.
As a physician, I questioned his symptoms and he did not seem to have the right answers for a stroke. He just said, "I was stupid in not taking my blood pressure medicine!" When I finally spoke to him he said he was "not right in the head" and "my medication is not working properly" nor did have his wife or kid call.
He is a con man, so please don't fall victim to his talents. He did note he works in Virginia, NC and South Carolina.
