SALT LAKE CITY —
“[Goodrich] insists that he is licensed and insured,” Sandoval said. No contractor license for Goodrich is found in the online state database, dopl.utah.gov. A spokeswoman for the Division of Professional Licensing confirmed Goodrich has no license. Sandoval had answered Goodrich’s online advertisement. Sandoval said Goodrich was in a hurry to get the job done. Sandoval offered to hire an assistant and go to work.Then on July 21, a Friday, payday, Goodrich sent Sandoval texts with excuses for why he could not deliver a check. Goodrich said he was busy in Utah County. When Sandoval got in touch with Goodrich again on Saturday afternoon, Goodrich wrote back that his bank was closed.
He has paid Goodrich $9,500 plus the $3,000 and expenses to Sandoval, but the job isn’t finished yet, the homeowner said.
