We believed Joe was the actual contractor, so gave him a downpayment. He's only the "general contractor" so he gets money for doing nothing but lying to us! Anyone wanting to call him, forget it. His phone is not working, and neither is his website. How convenient. I'd really like any info to track him down to get some money back too! Please post anything you have!

TO ANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE WHO HIRED THIS LOSER I FEEL BAD FOR, BUT ANY OF YOU CONTRACTORS OUT THERE WHO HIRED HIM ID SAY YOU DESERVE IT. ITS YOUR NEVER ENDING GOAL TO SAVE MONEY AND MAKE THINGS AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU SO YOU CAN MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE. USUALLY MUCH MORE THAN YOU DESERVE FOR THE LITTLE TO NO WORK YOU ACTUALLY DO. ITS ALSO YOUR FAULT NO CONSTRUCTION WORKER CAN MAKE A DECENT LIVING AROUND HERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM USING CONTRACTORS THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ILLEGAL ALIENS TO GET THINGS DONE AT LITTLE COST WHILE PUTTING WAY TOO MUCH IN THEIR OWN POCKET.

IM NOT DEFENDING HIM YOU ASSWIPE. I JUST BELIEVE ITS YOUR OWN STUPID FAULT FOR USING HIM TO DO ANYTHING. INSTEAD OF JUST TAKING THE CHEAPEST BID YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT SOME REFERENCES FIRST. AND AS IVE SAID BEFORE ITS GETTING REAL HARD FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE A DECENT LIVING IN CONSTRUCTION AROUND HERE BECAUSE OF CHEAPSKATES LIKE YOU WHO HAVE USE PEOPLE LIKE HIM INSTEAD OF LEGITIMATE PEOPLE.

I too have had problems with Joe..... along with many others. He embezzled from his boss in South Dakota - stole his best friend's credit cards and charged thousands of dollars - I think he only got 6 months jail time on the embezzlement charges. He cannot live here in the small town we grew up in - as he has lied to and ripped off about everyone he knows!!

I did not hire Joe for any construction work.... I have been chasing him for child support for over 10 years! I see that you indicated that they are taking Joe's house - how do you know that? Have you found any other assets of his? The state of Iowa does not give me much info on him. I am in South Dakota - and the only info I get is when he has a court date, etc. Let me know if you have any other info!

joe isnt a bad guy he is just lazy so in oreder to get money he uses everyone elses if you have a problem with joe i do not blame you. for i have hated him almost my whole life until i realized that he is just not grown up he is very inmature and does not no when to quit. the last time a saw him was 2 years ago. and the first thing he said to me was, i missed you bud. now people from van meter can say what they want. when i was down there for his wedding he sure had lots of friends there. joe is a well-liked man. he just needs money because he does not know how to get it by himself. i have not talked to him since my b-day. or a month before. but i know he is a kind man, im sorry for everything that he has done to you or your family or you friends. he has moved alot and has had lots of chances to start over. he dosnt know when to quit. he has been this way for a very long time. alot of people know joe as this great person until he does something irresponsible i find it hard to believe that he is not in jail... yet i have not talked to him recently but i plan to for he needs someone that still loves him and understands him more than anyone else

Signed,
His best friend
