Complaint Review: Terry Wayne

Terry Ray Wayne is an unscrupulous, unlicensed outdoor patio, fireplace, outdoor kitchen, fire pit pergola contactor operating in the upstate of South Carolina and around the Charlotte, NC region.  He has many current and past judgements against him for shoddy and unstarted or unfinished jobs in which he was paid close to entirity or a sizable deposit.

He takes a deposit from people after offering an unbelivable low price on a job. Often runs specials on the local Craigslist. He makes you sign a contract then either starts your job but doesnt finish, never starts your job or does a small amount of work and never comes back.  His contract states that he will keep 25% of deposit if you cancel.  He will make it impossible to work with him due to not finding subs, making an appointment and not keeping it, delaying projects do to weather or car break down etc.  You will have to take him to court to get the moeny back.  Many people who won judgements against him never saw their money--he has declared bankruptcy 2 times and has a lengthy criminal and civil record. This is public information that you should look into. 

Some jobs he started had to be compltely re-done from quality professionals at an additional expense because the workmanship was so poor.  Other people have had liens put on their homes after he failed to pay subs and suppliers or after a contract is broken. At least on customer paid him for a grill he never got.  If you look at his judgements, the money is several thousands of dollars still UNPAID. 

When things get too hot for him, he changes his company name.  Do your research.

Apparently he does finish some jobs and plasters them all over his facebook page.  You should note that these are recent jobs.  We suspect that he lowballs those as well and keeps deposits from the unformtuate others to help pad the other projects or to turn any profit. But who knows?  As long as there is one customer (there have been several for years) who he is taking advantage of, that is one too many.
