Lodge Logs / Mowery Scandinavian Concepts / Mowery Contracting - building a log home
I hired Andrew Shane Mowery, a representative of Lodge Logs, to build a turn-key log home for me in West Virginia. He left the job half-way through and refused to finish it. He filed for bankruptcy when I brought a lawsuit against him. I had to hire contractors to basically undo all of his mistakes. The foundation he claimed was inspected prior to building...

We had hired Lonny Betnesky from HNG concrete to do some concrete work this summer and trusted him fully as he is quite a sweet talker. This ad was posted on craigslist- however this ad has been removed since. On his facebook page under Lonny Betnesky his work is very attractive so please do not be carried away. He did such a shabby job and infact made a...

Do not hire Lonny Betnesky for your job. He's been fired from three concrete companies for being a fraud and doing poor quality work. Burnaby Paving was one of them. He's a good con artist. He convinced me he knew what he was doing and managed to swindle money out of me by promising quick and quality work that was dragged out and pressing us for money...

Similar to other complaints, I too have unresolved issues. We purchased our home and were given false information. After closing, we followed up on the issue and they said it would be resolved in the Spring since the issue was relating to the outside of the home. We patiently waited until Spring. They then decided to ignore all of our requests. Finally...

I used this company for a minor plumbing issue, replacing a shower diverter, for which they overcharged, including a shady a $5 "gasoline fee." They wouldn't provide a cost estimate upfront, but rather pull the age old trick of "well, it depends, maybe we have to replace the whole system for a thousand dollars, etc." Upon leaving an unsatisfactory review on...

Thomas Barron is a thief. Do not hire this man. Do not think a contract will afford you any protection. It won't. He has no permanent address, owns no property in his name, he is judgment proof. So when he steals your money, and he will, you have no recourse to recoup it. BEST PROTECTION - STAY AWAY! This man has complaints on dozens of sites, even cheater...
