This delightful individual now resides in a trailer at 635125 highway 10 Mono, formerly known as the academy for dogs. I don,t want to go into the details at this time because it is currently being investigated. Suffice to say I trusted this character and am now paying the price. Although it might seem odd, I felt sorry for this guy , I have met similar winners like this in the past and I don,t judge people by their past,but it is hard to take when someone like this takes advantage of your trust.Sadly I can only guess that his current clients ( new owners of the academy for dogs) are blissfully unaware what is likely in store for them.

NOT BELLEVILLE'S BOB WOOD CONSTRUCTION!!!

ROBERT WOODS CONSTRUCTION (Sudbury) IS NOT THE SAME AS BOB WOOD CONSTRUCTION (Rossmore / Belleville) Just so people know....this bad Bob appears to be up in Sudbury and should NOT be confused with Bob Wood Construction in Rossmore / Belleville, ON. This is a great, fair and honest company. One bad Bob shouldn't spoil it for the rest of the Bob's :) So call Bob IN ROSSMORE / BELLEVILLE for all your eavestrough, siding, soffit and fascia needs in and around the area. He and his team will treat you great! Thanks so much! Hope everyone gets back what they deserve from Robert Woods in Sudbury!

Robert Woods Construction took my money and never did any work

I paid him a $1000 deposit on a $2000 job, and he showed up a few times but never brought over any supplies. Finally there was a day when a bunch of work was supposed to happen, and he offered his truck to get the concrete necessary for me to do the work. Well, I stupidly gave him another $400 cash to get concrete, and then basically never saw him again. Left me with a crew of people I had organized to be there and no work could be done. From that point on there were multiple times he said he would show up and then never did. I started calling him, to which he obviously screened my calls and refused to answer. I called a couple times from other people, and got through, only to have him say that he is working on it. Needless to say, more than a year later, there is pretty much no chance I will ever see that money. He did give me a hand in labour for one or two days, and brought over a load of gravel with his truck. Needless to say, it was damned expensive gravel. He appears to be a fraud, and it isn't all that surprising that all of the pictures of projects from his website are unfinished.

Non payment

Requested my services then failed to pay after weeks of phone calls. I'm thankful that its not a larger amount like most people have been scammed. There's also a Facebook page Do not Support Robert Woods Construction where people in the town of Whitefish want him out. We attempted numerous times for payment but was constantly lied to with excuse after excuse given. All I want is my money for services rendered and this comment is not made to trash him or the company. After searching Google, I know I will never see my money again because of his history.

Ditto

My son has filed an official complaint with the Ministry of labor for unpaid wages, as well as the ministry environment -unsafe conditions and no training and unsafe working environment etc. Too many too list. Just stating "our" facts and actions and why. If you feel he has done you wrong or has jeopardized your health and safety please contact as well your ministry of labour and ministry of Enviroment and report your complaint ....it is very easy and they have been very supportive and helpful. I personally will not support Mr. Woods work ethics, nor his business. At the end of our days...."Character" is all we have at the end of each day. Stay fair, stay kind towards others and mostly stay TRUTHFUL.

These complaints are hurtful to the one their complaining on and the community.

because they are not backing their story

with their names. The Internet is the reason our standards as a human race

is declining. This man is being prosecuted

without a trial.The Internet is the easiest

way to prosecute someone based on false or misleading information.

Guest

I know first hand what kind of 'character' this man is, he is a deceitful man and a liar. This is not slander, this is my first hand account of dealing with this man. If you are a homeowner looking for a contractor, please look elsewhere as he will take your money as he did mine.

Guest

Hey employee number two what's your name I know of a few people that say nothing of that sort. Robert woods and his "aka" wife are losers and don't belong in this community. They are the true meaning of SCAM ARTIST and I CAN'T TO SEE THEM ROT IN JAIL LIKE THEY DESERVE FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY.

NEXT THIS IS GOING ON FACEBOOK

Good people will know about the scam artist you both are :)

Guest

How can you sit there and talk so big through your little computer. I have also worked for Robert, and I have had nothing but a good experience working for him and cannot say anything negative.

I don't understand how you people can sit there and criticize when some of you haven't even worked for Rob, your listening to the bullsh!t story your kids are giving you. And in regards to a certain employee who made the complaint to the labour board, why don't you tell them about all the product you took from the store without asking and how you refused payment early because you wanted to bank hours. And as regards for the individuals not paid due to poor work ethic, if you would have actually come to work and leave the narcotics and pot at home then maybe things would have been different.

All this community seems to do is start drama, and its sad because you people have no life. Hiding behind a keyboard, lol!

Just simply speaking "facts" NOT opinions. People who are HONEST don't involve government agencies to fight for "justice" against people who are breaking the laws for their own benefit.

This is not gossip, or hear say...it's our own "personal" experience.

And I would like to mention "anonymous"....who is hiding behind their little computers? lol..

I know for a fact at least 3 of the people working there did NOT do drugs,or did NOT do any narcotics. So MR #2 I don't know what makes you so special to get paid and everyone else don't get paid.

Because these people bent over for Rob and all he did is *** on them. This is crazy look at all the people he has done wrong to.. Not just 1 or 2 people. Wake up and look at the big picture him and is girlfriend are scam artists and need to be stopped.

They have hurt way to many people.

And the sad part in this to is they have a little boy watching this all play out. You and them should be ashamed of yourselves for letting this happen!!!

Failure to pay wages in full

This scammer is now running the Panache General Store. He had my son working for him for two and half weeks doing renos. He has not paid him his wages in full and keeps feeding him lines that he is waiting for money from investors. The pay date has come and gone and after multiple calls he has yet to pay my son. Stay away from this guy and think twice before supporting his store located at thee old Panache Lake Hotel. please share with others in Sudbury. It's only when people share this info with others that scammers like this will be stopped.

He owes me $1000 from August. I assisted in finishing the upstairs of that hotel and he is yet to pay me either.

The locals are seeing this crook as a hero for bringing back the hotel but what they do not know is that it was us, the hard workers that have yet to be paid, that have brought it back to life. He has toyed with enough people's money that it is going to *** him in his *** one of these days.

Yes, it's the people of this community with "they're" heart & soul, sweat... and I might add...they're safety that was jeopardized...

that has brought this building back to life. No offence Rob....it was a great ideal and no one is disputing that, this whole community was excited and behind you with your business plan...it's the dishonesty in your business venture that has everyone upset. Even you Rob, would not appreciate putting in hard labour and sweat and not getting paid. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

It's just plain wrong and unfair....hence the upset community. With all this being said, people can always make wrongs, right. It is up to you, Rob, to make a mends with these employees and come good with payment to everyone who has not been rightfully paid. You know the truths out there, you're living it.

No me. It's NEVER too late. But only you, Mr. Rob Woods, can make this decision.

No one else. There comes a time in everyone's life where the road comes to a fork....which way do you want to go....

It's NEVER too late.

Honesty with others and making efforts to change wrong-doings can reveal grace & forgiveness in people. I believe in this whole heartedly.

How is stealing from innocent people helping a community??I think it is time to pack up and get the *** out of whitefish. Ur adventures here are done. This community knows what losers and crooks u r.

U have taken enough from our quiet community Let some one who will make a go out of the penage do it. So it can be a good thing for our community...

Do not work for this man!!!! Scam Artist!!!!

Rob is a scam artist!!! Do not take this man for his word! He hires guys to work for him, pays them only a percentage of their wage every week and racks up a bill in the end that he NEVER PAYS!!! He owes me and my crew over $3000 for working on his Motel in Whitefish. Every chance to reconcile ends up with the same blah blah story "I have no money, I am waiting for more investors to scam", even though there are guys working there finishing it right now! No money eh, Cokie? Feel free to email me: Rob included! spiritualsuicides@***.com

I happen to agree! this guy is nothing but a scam artist!

He needs to be stopped!

He told me and another person at the same time

That he isn't allowed to be with or around anyone under the age of

18,He also isn't paying most of his staff!

And he is renting(taking bookings) for a hotel that isn't done!

This Robert Woods is nothing but a dirt ball! I strongly agree with this other person!do not work for this guy You'll only get messed over..if you don't believe this just search his name and look the hotel name up on facebook!

Read the comments! Also anyone who has kids going to the school behind the hotel and the church memebers might like to know that he plans on making the hotel into a *** house!

Re: Robert Woods has always been up front with me and his workers

and when someone dues work to a sub-standard level and is removed

from the site Due to drinking, Smoking pot, excessive smoke breaks

and popping pills they post comments like this to try blame someone

else for their short comings. Mr. Woods has worked hard to provide

something for the Community of Whitefish. Their are many people who

again blame others for their short comings and post negative comments to make them selves feel better about their lack of performance.

Robert Woods wanted all the workers to take short cuts instead of doing the job right. He didn't care about safety codes, or quality workmanship.

The ones who are proud of their work didn't take that from him and left. Also, he is not paying anyone their well-deserved earned wages. Working 12 hr days for 4 weeks straight and only receiving $250/week (if your lucky)is Slave Labour, and this man (if can call him that) needs to be stopped. He leads the workers on saying he'll have the pay the next week, but it's just his same excuse for the next time.

I say all the workers, there's gotta be 10-15 people by now, should round up for a class action suit. You may not get your money, at least it will show the public and the Labour Board what a scoundrel he really is.

Currently charged with fraud

Mr. Woods has defrauded myself of over 50000 dollars on a construction job we had hired him for in 2009. He is currently in court for these charges. Do not I repeat do not hire this man or company. During the hearings it has come to light that he had defrauded many others in southern ontario. Thus explains why he moved to sudbury shortly after ripping us and others off. Anyone who refutes these facts are complete liars and are likely friends of or paid by Mr. Woods to cover his tracks. He even went as far as to create false company's as suppliers as well as fake phone numbers and have friends answer my calls pretending to be the companies. This man is a professional *** man. Do not trust.

The justice system has prevailed. Mr Woods was found guilty by a jury of his peers.

He has been sentenced and now is up for parole. After almost 9 years of turmoil and worry.

No our worry starts again as he is returning to dufferin county. Please for your own safety and peace of mind do not hire this man for any construction job.

To The Insider. (rob)

You are a lying POS.

We all did good work for you and you scammed us, plain and simple. It took half a day to hang a door because nothing is square! Learn how to read a tape measure before you decide to build a wall!! Common sense.

No one was EVER removed from this job site. We all left because no one was ever paid. You have my number Rob. Tell me to my face that we were doing drugs on the job.

We aren't the ones with the coke habit.

The 24 hours cold, that's what we called it lol. Get a cleanex next time.

Guest

I'm a witness for Robert Woods Construction. The Man who filed this complaint and charges, has lied, changed his contract several

times. I also believe that Mr. Woods is the victim here in this.

The complainant in this case is looking for a fall guy to cover his lies of building a illegal Mother-inlaw suite which is not allowed in his county. Remember this there are two sides to every

story. The truth will come out soon enough. And Mr. Woods will come

out victorious.

False Accusations

Robert woods was hired to do a job and always called to say if he wasn't going to be there. He never took money from this so called single mother, she was not the one who signed the contract and gave him the original monies of $3000.00 it was in fact her Father (Jim Sproule)of Jim's septic Whitefish,Ont. who gave the monies to him, I am witness to all this. He also gave her extras that she never paid for. Most of the time Robert tried to contact April Sproule her cell phone was always off or full. Robert always returned her messages when he could leave it when he got through on her phone. People see what he can do and think he is someone who is loaded and I can tell you all who reads this he is not.Furthermore Miss Sproule didn't even know the name of the company, she has on this complaint Robert Woods Contracting. Please know all facts before making comments or judging the contractor. Miss Sproule has opened herself for a lawsuit from Robert Woods Contracting which is a company that does exist. She now can be held liable through this internet complaint. Thank- You.

Robert Woods Contracting !!! Be Aware

Updated by user Apr 10, 2013

Robert woods has paid me back in full. I wish to have all other complaints removed on my behalf. the complaint that was made earlier was in my opinion

Original review Dec 31, 2012
I hired Robert woods Contracting to do a new renovation in my home I have a signed contract dating back to 2011 I gave this man ROBERT WOODS a deposit of 3,000.00 Dollars of my hard earned money & I'm a single parent so it took me some time to save up for this. Robert woods never showed up & I have been in court with him for two years. I got awarded my monies back with court cost ( because he almost never showed up)... and have yet to see a dime or even a penny... ROBERT WOODS LIVES IN WHITEFISH, ONTARIO. DO NOT GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert woods scammed me I fell for his sob story. I lent him 1800 dollars he wrote a document stating he would pay me back april 5th 2019.

as far as I am concerned he is a petty criminal living off people who believe his b.s he has no empathy or compassion for his victims.

seeing how corrupted the justice system is in Sudbury this will take years. Glen Gaffney Sudbury ONTARIO
