What can a homeowner do to get their money back.

Ohio

I needed a garage built. I paid the contractor 20k to build it. This was over 2 months ago. He does not answer my calls or texts. When I did get on hold of him he always has an excuse for every time when we to meet or when I ask for my money back. He took my concrete pad out and that is it.

Contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office. They deal with these types of contractors all the time.

You likely have a claim under Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act. Failing without justifiable cause to complete the work for over 8 weeks is a violation of the act. The contractor is liable for three times the damage that you've suffered, plus reasonable attorney fees. A consumer or real estate attorney would be qualified to file a complaint on your behalf.
