Extremely frustrated and disgruntled customer

The owner of Nile Blue Projects came with much enthusiasm to erect a patio roof at our home. After paying a 70% deposit and another sum of money for outsourced services, he planted 5 poles. He absconded with our money and left us with these 5 poles sticking out of the ground for months until we had to find a new contractor. He promised several times over to refund the money, but we haven't seen a cent. Please be EXTREMELY careful of Nile Blue Projects.
