Phil Construction solutions big ****ers

I'm frustrated with the horrific service that I got from the bark team. I got a company by the name of PHIL CONSTRUCTIONS SOLUTIONS who were supposed to redo my roof. The owner of the company came. Owner by the name Philmon Changundega assessed the roof, gave me a quotation. I then deposited R17500 into his business account on the 12th February 2022 and he was meant to start working 2days later being the 14th February 2022. He sent some of his contract worker to come strip my carport and the roof of the house is still left unattended to. I'm so stressed being a mother of 3 boys and pregnant at the same time. My house is a mess when it rains and I've called him numerous times. He used to pick up my calls but not anymore. He had promised to refund me back my money but to this day nothing. I've tried seeking for help through the Bark team but I haven't been helped to this day. I'm frustrated and disgusted by this.

Hi there Phil,
We're very sorry to hear about a poor experience you had with a professional you found on Bark.
The overwhelming majority of customers' experiences on Bark are positive, but we recognise that with such a large volume of jobs being agreed on our platform, problems may arise on very rare occasions.
We do not claim to vet any companies who use our site. Our role is simply to put you in touch with a professional in much the same way the Yellow Pages, Google or an advert in the paper would do. We provide public profiles on every professional and an open review system to allow all prospective customers to carry out their own due diligence before hiring any professionals.
This being said, we do take any reports made against professionals seriously, so please provide details of what has occurred directly to us at ***.
You may wish to consider taking this matter further with your local authority.
We wish you all the best in resolving your issue.
Kind regards,
