ST. PAULS, N.C. A North Carolina widow is out thousands of dollars after a kitchen remodeling job went bad, and shes not the first person this happened to.

WTVD-TV reported that the man who was supposed to do the job and has been behind bars for doing this to homeowners before.

Kim Britt said she has nowhere to cook or even prepare a meal.

My counter tops have been set up on saw horses, Britt said.

Britt said it all started when she hired Christopher Beard of Precision Flooring and Restoration to redo her kitchen floor.

He came out on Labor Day and started working, removing my floor, Brett said. Then he found water damage. He said he could fix it, so I just let him go ahead with the job.

Britt said she paid Beard close to $3,000 to do the job, but the job kept getting bigger. She said Beard kept adding in more to it by saying he would give her nice cabinets and a design on her flooring.

On top of all the add-ons, Britt said Beard also brought out a plumber, Samuel Twine, to help out with the job. Between Beard and Twine, Britt paid the two men more than $8,000.

Britt says despite the money paid, it was tough to get Beard and Twine on the job. She said there were often days when Beard wouldnt show up work.
