Dude wants 18k for the project okay but he can’t start on time and then complains about still not getting paid.
The mom may have been unaware but the contractor was a scammer.
18k with no contract. Can’t take these people seriously.
These ppl obviously got money to spend.
I know, for these college educated rich people to do this without a contract, and a contractor to set up without a contract, never ends well at all.
I wouldn't do something for $100 without a contract but 18k 😭
@@glitter_and_spice1589 😂😂💀
Why do people hire a contractor without a literal contract? It’s in the name.
😂😂
Good one….and so true!
This guy just didn't want to do the job because it wasn't well organized, and that was due to HIS neglect. I think he just got overwhelmed and said screw it i'm not doing the job, but he has no one to blame but himself
Omg listening to the plaintiff was exhausting… just spit it out 🤦🏽♀️
🤣🤣 Doug @ the end ‼️ “exit is on the left. “
The plaintiff got a hairdo in the early 90s, and said, “this is gonna be my look for the rest of my life.”
Many such cases
Hilarious
😂😂😂😂
So true....I doubt she's changed her style in 30 years....
😂😂😂
Hey Guys the judge comes from a contractor family. 🤭🤭🤣🤣
Can someone explain the joke I don’t get if
She is. What is so funny? 🧐
Yeah, I thought I heard that… she’s the daughter of a contractor. 🤦🏻
The joke is that she always brings it up when ever there’s a contractor is involved 😂
Side note this woman’s outfit, hair, and makeup looks like she just time warped from 1996 lol
that's generous. She's giving me more 80s!
I love it! 🤘🏿
Probably her same hair from the 90’s.
I thought I was back in the 90’s
Let's do the time warp again!!!
This mother was suppose to be in charge of her grown daughter and son in law house 🤔. She has no clue what she is doing, even I know you should get a contract and how much to put down. She doesn’t know how to take charge of something like this,she’s clueless. $18,000 with no contract seriously🫣🤔. Even if he didn’t have her sign a contract even small projects have proper contracts.
I’m surprised the grown children didn’t organize this 🤦🏽♀️ most other adults have to
I am OBSESSED with Doug LOL he is too funny!
He said there were red flags, but all the red flags were against him, I think she got really lucky because he would probably have botched the whole thing. No contract, doesn't buy the materials, doesn't start on time, changes the basics and breaches the contract again and again...
Hammer? He hardly knew her 😂😅😂
😊😅😂😂😂😅😊
He's a CONtractor.
Good one
too many young lone wolf contractors who take on jobs that are bigger than they can handle so they find a way out AFTER they collect some up front money . but i do think the demo work he started to do was still worth some money , like 500 bucks because the pictures showed quite a bit of demo that he had done .
💯
Is Judge Milian from a Contractor family? 😆
Yes father and brother I think she said before
Yes she is , she talks about it all the time on the show .
I'm not sure. I haven't heard her constantly repeat it almost every show! 😂
Went over their heads. Lol
@@lindseyyoung9149 Bless, I think so. It's cute when people answer literally 😇
She should have used an experienced contractor with a contract.
Exactly. If I was spending this kind of money, I would use a contractor that provides me with a contract. That's just ridiculous. We're not talking about a few hundred dollars this is thousands.
And, god forbid, a licensed professional?! I'm no expert but both plumbing AND Electrical are no small deals...
He needs a license!
Especially with that kind of money
The defendant wasn't taking any more salt on the wound from Doug.
The exit’s on his left.
For all of his jobs to be “roughly 18K” he sure don’t know what the hell he is doing
Doug is the GOAT. I want to see a “Curb Your Enthusiasm”-type show with him as the lead.
That’s a low bar. He just repeats what everyone already knows.
That could be interesting. 🙂
Why is a 25 yo couple unable to handle their own household renovations?
Because she's in charge, and it's probably hey property..
Cause mommy’s payin 💪🏼
Cause she’s paying and in all likelihood it’s a wedding “gift”
Because mommy is paying for it 😂😂😂
Why didn't she get other estimates 🤔
That would make too much sense
She probably picked the cheapest option honestly
The way that woman has the exact haircut my mother had from 1997-2001.
My mother passed away in 2007 and was 38 years old and she had this style. Buy, it was shorter and she crimped the longer hair and curled the top haha.
Plaintiff's rockin the og Karen hair.
How ironic that the word “Contract” is literally in the contractors name.
He's shady, but must be doing well enough that he can afford to walk away from a big ticket project. And the plaintiff didn't do her daughter any favors, lol. She initially came across as being knowledgable and well informed, but that went out the window when she started talking. No contract? She should have insisted, or stopped right there.
And why would she (or the defendant) think it it would be best for her to buy the materials? So much room for error!
There was a huge shake-up in the contracting world at the start of the pandemic. A lot of the older contractors who were making big money weren't retiring prior to the pandemic which meant there was a blockage in advancement so if you were an apprentice, you'd continue to be one for years it there were fewer positions available and the market was crowded. Once covid happened, a lot of the older people who were making the money retired but the people under them didn't have the proper experience on running a business and the people under them didn't have experience as a foreman, and the people under them-you get the idea. So suddenly the whole industry was suddenly shifting up and since people were spending more time in their homes due to lockdowns which had people wanting to renovate and improve their living spaces with paint, flooring, cabinets, etc. That meant a lot of new contractors and construction workers were starting their business but without any of the experience they should have in a market flooded that they could charge high prices. It's why the defendant didn't have a contract or know the basics about running the business on credit; he just knew how to do the labor. It's kind of a fascinating study in labor.
Damn that’s a good point I wouldn’t have thought of it that way
Plaintiff is shady also, no contract and just feed the defendant money and nothing to account for it on her side, no contract. WOW!
You’d think she’s would walk away after no contract 😂😂😂😂
Him walking away was probably going back to work for his boss were he gained the so called experience lol
Maybe the defendant could talk to the Judge about how to make contracts for construction. That might help him with his business.
I learn so much from watching these videos ❤ love this judge 😊
I own a pitbull.....chillllleeeee we sssso educated ova here! No dog parks 😂😂😂
90s QUEEN my lord lol I love it
Video is from 90's soooo
When will the judge be humble enough to admit being related to contractors doesn't make you an expert in building a dang thang. I get using your own experience as knowledge but constantly referring to her family members being contractors doesn't mean you have absorbed or gained the knowledge and comprehension of the job itself and what it takes!
What was she wrong about in the video? The Home Depot account situation? Or the fact a Contractor should have.. I dunno... a contract?
Maybe she listened & paid attention to what was going on around her. She lived at home until mid-late 20's.
18k just for labor?? That’s insane
Doug is funny asf. 🤣🤣
This guy says that most of his jobs are around $18,000 in labor cost only and yeah, he doesn’t contracts. The guy is either a liar or he’s trying. This guy is either a liar or trying to cheat his taxes or both.
Too arrogant!
He's just a liar. He is trying to make himself look good. He has no license, doesn't even provide contracts, probably doesn't even have insurance. He's shady AF.
French Bulldogs and Boston Terriers would not be mistaken if you know your breeds.
Something is off with the defendant
Those bangs though.....
She won ..now she can use the money to get rid of that 80's hair cut
Defendant sounds exactly like Billy Bob Thornton
Guy is a liar
I love the question at the end of the show
Doug is so petty 😂
If mom is the liason the newlyweds are so screwed 😞
Honestly, think the defendant was very high
Good judgement
That was his first big job lol 😂
USE LICENSED PROFESSIONALS and get a friggin CONTRACT!!
I took a contractor's accounting class in college that was given by a former contractor. He said the hard and fast rule about money 🤑 is that you, the contractor, take a third of the money up front for supplies and maybe some early wages; another third at the halfway point; the final third + any cost overruns (providing you don't renegotiate as you go along) when it's finished. I'm really shocked that more of them don't follow that simple and effective "rule."
His lip color is better than the Judge and Plaintiff 😂😂😂
I’ve had my fair share of lousy contractors!! Unfortunately here in Maine,only electricians and plumbers are required to have licenses.
that man was a scammer
Yes she is from a contractors family.
she still stole a lot of labor from the contractor. he didn't handle it well, but she wasn't paying what she should.
Is she mansplaining to him why you need a contract? I know she loves that word but she is no different and I think he knows better now about needing a contract,he was just starting out as he explained so she needs to now explain why a contract is important because she knows better!
Everyone is talking about the plaintiffs hairdo, and i can't get past the defendant's pointy head 😂
Dude try to be awkward with Doug, but Doug had the last laugh 😂😂😂 don't mess with Doug.
30 seconds into this and this lady brought this case to the wrong judge 😂😂😂
Lesson: Whenever you make agreement, make sure you write on a paper said both agreed.
Might sounds funny and childish but it will save you in the court.
They she talks, you'd think she was from a contractor family or something.
The plaintiff STILL has ‘the Rachel’-haircut.
THAT’s a choice!
Mr. Hurrt got hurt 😂
First clean up the demo mess then proceed with plumbing and electrical then have materials handy
man, this is 2022? this lady looks out of the 90's.
They deserve each other. Who hires someone for 18K without a contract..
He isn't naïve; he's a crook.
The young couple (is 25 young?!) need a liaison, but they're hiring somebody to add a bathroom to their house?!
Apparently, having lots of money "trumps" clear thinking.
"PS" I hate when JM and the plaintiff talk over each other! 18K and nothing in writing? Absolutely crazy. He agreed to other jobs because this one was looking nutty! The fact that he's new is no excuse for his avoiding a contract!! (Did he miss the day of class about contracts?) "Mom" could have been a little better on paperwork?! 😂
Doug: You have nothing to say?...GTFOH👉
I dont know where we are in Ohio but I'm in Metro Detroit and a realtor...
And my contractor is GREAT and would never charge that amount of money. That's insane.
The plaintiff's hair and clothes are screaming circa 2003
It's very 1980s 😅 the side part and bangs . We had already moved on to Jennifer Aniston layers in the 90s
So, he's not getting paid for what he did do??? Total BS.
If she could prove that the boston terrier was misrepresented to be a more expensive breed... or that she got a crossbred when she wanted a purebred and they misrepresented... she could get her money back BUT she'd also have to return the puppy to the breeder. She would have to have some kind of proof other than a vet's say so, as that's just an opinion, not solid proof.
When buying a puppy, always ask to see the parents of the puppy so you have a better idea of what it will look like when it grows up! If you want a purebred, do your research on the breeder. Bottom line is... puppies are wonderful even when they aren't purebreds. $100 is a bargain for a puppy!
So he did $5k in work for $1800? How does the judge think that’s fair?
I feel bad for Doug for interactions like this. It's his job to interview them after & get their reaction. Don't blow him off just because you're salty. So awkward.
She hired a Tweaker. And she's so clueless.
I was thinking the same thing 😂
As a gay Black man I hate how peoples court commenters always make trivial/defamatory statements "he's on drugs" Show me a centimeter of proof of that. Now if you have proof of that very private unsourced business lol, then I'll be quiet, but even if he does experiment and is a fiend, that's his business lol. So I"m gonna leave trivial details then smh.
This is exactly what it is. And I knew it from the start. He's all the red flags and she's a dummy with money. Best comment.
@@texasmadehoney1523 How in the hell is it a best comment when it's defamatory/saying he's a tweaker with zero proof, I don't see him twitching or being hyper etc. Yes there have been people on this show who were clearly under the influence, but I don't get that vibe from Defendant. He just seems not bothered/angry. Maybe he smoked a little weed before filming but meh lol.
@@taralen1101 he giving tweaker vibes. It's worse if he don't do drugs cus why is conducting himself that way if not addiction of some kind. But you right, some people are low down without the drugs.
He is soo shady
Did you see the way the plaintiff smiled at the end. She's a little off.
I thought powder disappeared when a lighting struck him.. he’s now contractor 😱
Sounds like both didnt have things written out well and also sounds like they spent all their money on their honey moon to aford the labor!! 😅
Is it normal for judges to disrespect the defendants and the plaintifs? When the judge told her don't just bark out something, I thought that was a bit uncalled for. Am I wrong?
I cannot stand this lady thumping her hand every few seconds ugh
wow, look how many times he uses "there is no contract" as a red flag? -- no accountability at all.
Total 1990's mom hair do. Lol.
This defendant is still a novice, who does an $18K job without a contract? It turned out to be too big a job for one guy to handle.
Newlyweds ... Welcome back! 😂😂
The plaintiffs hair looks just like Judge hair when its longer.
Contractor?!?!? he hardly knew her!
The plaintiff had an evil smirk on her face when JM sided with her
Beware with these type of people 😬
The judge moves like she is Italian. Many Italians speak with their hands 😮😮
Close your eyes and listen…..I hear Billy Bob Thornton !!
I think he undersold himself (labor+materials at 18k) and then thought about it so he tried to change the terms.
I've known and worked for people like the plaintiff, very condescending and self-righteous.
The plaintiff shouldn't be trying to be a general contractor!
I love how Doug and the judge can determine a bad contractor because he made a decision not to do the job after waiting four weeks for money and making a decision. I understand it usually the other way around, but it wasn’t… Oh, I forgot she’s the daughter of a contractor.
She sort of looks like drew Barrymore
Meh
He says he just saw too many red flags. Like what? He says, like there wasn't a contract from the beginning and there was a big delay.......... Which were his doing. Yep. There were red flags all right. About him. And under what circumstance can he walk away from the job and literally keep the money for the materials that he never bought?!? He really believes this is how you treat customers and do business? Buyer beware.
🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽his skill set is only demo. He had know clue how to build a bathroom. 🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽
Is the Judge Latina? And her family in the construction business? 👍
Adopt don’t shop! 🐶 🐾 🏠
Dont use people from NEXTDOOR get real people with reference.
Terrible judgement. This guy is not an effective communicator. He wanted 25% of the labor money as he had already done the demolition. He was labor based which means he needed cashflow. 18K labor only was the agreement. All she needed to do was make partial payments to him. This judge clearly heard they went on a honeymoon for two weeks after payment was requested and when they returned they still refused payment. They went a month with no payment for labor and he already had 3 full days of demo work done. No way this judge came from construction as they would never work for free either. The judge never did any math on anything.
It was too much for him!!!
This kid needs to go back to school and figure out how businesses work. smh
Your Honor, if i could meet anyone in the world, it would be YOU! ❤
