“I’m devastated. I’m devastated,” said Billy Terry, who owns Terry’s Handyman Service. “What rights do I have?”

Terry said Charlene Glover hired him to build her a wheelchair ramp, lay the floor all over the house, and make other upgrades, but he said things were quickly turning south.

“I get a call next and it was her son, Johnny Glover. He told me he was also a contractor and I charged his mom too much to do this job so he would do part of it, ”Terry said.

Terry said he was going to close a project and then find it was rolled back, so he started taking pictures of his work. In one photo, three boards are attached to Glover’s house. The boards are missing in our video, which was recorded after Terry’s last day at work.

“I told Ms. Glover what was going on. She started pointing out things that I needed to fix. I said I won’t keep fixing this stuff, ”Terry said.

Terry also said Glover wrote him a check for $ 9,000 – not the nearly $ 13,000 she claimed. And he said he gave her the check back. Glover said that’s not true.
