I mentioned briefly our situation with our sod in a previous post, but thought I would focus on it to get a little advice. In late April, we contacted someone about putting sod in for us. He came to the house, gave us a great estimate and said he would be back by the following week to tear out our weeds and install the sod after we gave him a deposit.
...Well, here we are in late June with no sod. After countless phone calls, all of which were friendly and still willing to have the job done, and a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, we are left $275 in the hole. Up until this point we've been lucky with the contractors we've hired to help us around the house and aren't quite sure what to do. I know small claims court is probably our best option, but is it likely we'll even get our money back? Heck, I'd even take the sod installation at this point (even though it's a little past prime weather to get it done), I just don't want to lose out on that money. Any other bloggers have something similar happen? I'm resisting the urge to put him on blast all over the internet, since he's choosing to still advertise. Grrr.

Small claims and posting his 411 online are your only options. Or a Home Improvement voodoo doll.....wait. Don't steal that idea, I just figured out how I'm going to make my first million.
Especially if he still advertising you at least need to out him on the internet so others don't suffer the same and taking him to small claims is the best and pretty much only option.
