We recently discovered that Chris joined Thommoknockers in April 2023 (picture attached). We hired Chris in July 2015 to build a deck for our home in North Oshawa at the time, trusting him enough to pay nearly $5000 upfront. At the time, he wasn't incorporated under MacDonald Construction Group nor affiliated with Thommoknockers. We have email money transfer confirmations and email exchanges as proof of payments and our agreement. Sadly, after receiving our payment, Chris disappeared, leaving us with nothing but partially completed holes in our backyard and absolutely no materials delivered.
As newlyweds and new homeowners, we were particularly vulnerable. Chris ultimately stopped responding to emails and blocked us on his cell phone, leaving us feeling betrayed and helpless. Despite this happening in 2015, the dishonesty and betrayal still impact us. It took considerable effort to trace him, but he had kept the same cell number (picture attached with number on his truck).
We want to warn other homeowners about our experience to prevent others from falling victim to his dishonesty. We will pursue civil litigation (which is likely limited at this point) but more importantly hope this review serves as a cautionary tale for homeowners and perhaps Thommoknockers in making this decision.
