Paid a guy to fix my chimney, I find out a month later all he did was spray paint it and took a picture where the crack wasn't to make it appear he did something. Should I drag him to small claims for $375, he's obviously a psychopath that knows where I live. He could come back some night and do some vandal revenge costing me 10 times that much easily. Then again, he needs to be outed.

The kicker is Better Business Bureau recommended the guy!

My opposite story. Found a chimney sweep on CL. Swept and cleaned just fine. Lady boss says some cracks need fixed. Spent some time talking with her, she’d been in the biz for a long time. No skeezy vibes. Fixed cracks, cleaned exterior brick, repaired the metal cover. Since I was a return customer, she said she’d email the bill. Never heard another peep. Ever. Me vs. them, swung my way that day. P.s. if you have shitty books, you’ll lose in the end.

I've had that happen, I contacted them and paid them, don't want that karma over my head.
