KEYSER – A Keyser man claims a contractor he paid more than $5,000 for supplies and to remove and replace a masonry wall never showed up to work on the project or delivered the supplies.
Jeffrey Buser filed a complaint in Mineral Circuit Court against Sam Clark, doing business as S&M Construction.
On Aug. 27, 2018, Buser alleges he hired S&M for the removal and replacement of a damaged masonry retaining wall at his Keyser property. Buser alleges he paid S&M a $500 deposit with no work being started. Buser alleges S&M requested a further payment of $3,450 on Nov. 10, 2018, and $1,200 on Nov. 25 for materials.
According to his complaint, Buser claims S&M has failed to do any work on the property, has not had any materials delivered to the site and that S&M "refuses to communicate" with him, causing him to have to hire another contractor to do the job. He alleges he has demanded a refund but has not been successful.
Buser seeks monetary relief of $5,150 and all other general relief. He is represented by Nelson Michael of Nelson M. Michael LC in Keyser.
