1

Update by user Jan 02, 2018 William Dillard has added a couple of comments supposedly from other people but he writes all of his comments and referrals himself and will never give a name or number to verify. He says he is licensed with insurance but has neither and can't produce anything to prove different. 1 year ago he worked for Travis Brown as a helper starting from scratch with no experience and Travis caught him using his name to advertice and steal jobs and business from him after he helped him with a place to live and train him for job. He was living in his truck and Travis helped him move in his house and gave him a job and training to get him on his feet and William Dillard showed how much he appreciated by lying ,stealing and cheating Travis Brown. He stole his identity and Travis caught him in the act 4 times before kicking him out of his home. William Dillard came back and stole hundreds of dollars in tools so he could work at Travis's expense. Travis said he found a dozen referrals written by William Dillard with photos of work Travis had done and all in William's handwritting. We still have legal action pending against Dillard after I have grouped with Travis Brown and 5 other people that called Travis in the last year complaining about William Dillard lying ,stealing and cheating them also, He stole over $20,000 from a lady with cancer. Original review posted by user Aug 31, 2017 I met William W Dillard on august 7th. He gave me an estimate on replacing cach units in my house that was being remodeled. He said if I give him $500 for materials deposit he would start today and I gave him a check. He said he would start go buy materials and get permit and start tomorrow. He said he needed to take out my old cach units to turn in for core charge which I knew was a lie but didn't want the old eqipment anyway. He said he would have to tear out ac closet because it was dirty. I said nobody else said that was necessary and I would clean it to keep as is. He wanted to add $350 to replace closet that didn't need to be . He no longer had the lowest bid. I was there the next morning to work on house and his asst was removing old equipment. I called to ask Will when he was coming with new equipment to work. He said he was there already working. I told him I was there and I see rico working but didn't see him. He said oh I am on the way. 1 hour later he showed up and said he needed $1,000 for laboe deposit and he would get permit and equipment and be thru next day August 9th. I gave him $1,000 check reluctantly and reassured he would get permit and equipment and finish job by tomorrow. He guaranteed me finished by tomorrow. He didn't show up Wednesday and only texted me back when I called him where is equipment. He said he was coming but needed $4,500 cash to go buy eqipment that he estimated at $3,000. He said they don't take credit cards or checks which I called and found out to be a nother lie. I asked him if he got permit yet and he said he needed $750 to get permit. The permit cost is $130. He never shoed up wednesday. I called him Thursdau at 1:00 pm and he said he was on the way. I worked until 7:00pm and he never showed. I called him 4 times Friday morning, he never answered my messages or texts. i was working Friday night at 8:15 pm and he shows up with some homeless guy to tear out my ac closet. An unnecessay task meant to pad the bill. He never produced or applied for permit because his ac guy wasn't licenced to do so, he took my old cach units for spare parts. He never had the ability to get a permit or install cach units, he just took my money. He was conning me to give him other jobs in the house that were already taken. he blames Rico his asst for all problems .
