Posted: Feb. 20, 2024 5:45PMThree Cowichan Valley homeowners say they’re out tens of thousands of dollars each after a contractor didn’t complete renovation work.

Later, Dirom agreed to add on to her initial deposit by an extra $15,000. In March 2022, she had paid Driedger more than $64,000 to complete the job. “He had said there was no way he was coming back to our job site without a permit in place, that he never works without a permit in place,” said Dirom. During the next few months, the Dirom’s deck was compromised, but wanting to complete the job, they began the process of getting a permit for the job.

To date, Dirom says the only work Driedger completed was installing some footing and gravel and removing some of the deck space. In December 2023, Kaiser claims Driedger told him the deposits had been spent on materials and that he could collect the material the following week.
