Her husband died at the age of 43 (very suddenly) and he used to do everything. After he died, she got a flier on the door advertising a window washing service for a set price and hired the guy to do just that (which he still has never done). After she hired him for that he offered to do many more things around the house that really needed to be done, such as fixing up their yard and various other small jobs. Then he started offering to do such things as "renovate" her bathrooms, which desperately need work... Unfortunately, she didn't write up or sign any kind of contract outlining work, quality of materials, etc...but I've seen the quality of work the guy has done and he's ripping her off. I can tell he has no experience or skill whatsoever concerning most of the stuff he's agreed to do. Also, she has paid him for jobs that, to date, have not been done. Does she have any kind of legal recourse? I can provide more details if needed, please email me, I really want to help her.
