The last time I calls a "professional," he proceeded to rip the wires

Hm, why did he do it?

I assume he hoped I'd buy as he proposed.

Just goes to show you that there are crooks and asshats in every
profession. If you get lucky, they out themselves BEFORE you've
signed any commitments or handed over a big wad of cash.

But the big decision I'd see in the above situation is: Do I call
the local Cops and get him arrested for Vandalism, or the Contractor's
State License Board to cash out his Bond for the damages and get his
ticket pulled? Or both?

call him out somewhere else. maybe he'd get a flat or something.
