BEWARE!!! Do not accept work from Selina Moore!!!!! She took Mr Clay to court today and he was made to pay her the $75.00 back HOWEVER the complaint was for not building the gate for her deck. Mr. Clay had receipts and documents of time spent on other work for her but that was ignored because they focused on the gate. He was never paid for his time and expense of the things he did do. I think this is a crime. This man tried to fix a door for her, spent a couple hours trying to find the right materials for her at Lowes, talked to them at Lowes about a Barn Door she wants installed, spent his own gas money on two separate occasions, bought materials to make the gate and then took them back, and still had to pay her the entire 75 back. I guess his time is not as valuable as hers. I believe in our justice system but sometimes it really lets people down.

Mr. Clay is a reputable man. He has done work for me and will continue to do work for me despite the slander suit put on by Selina Moore. I will encourage Mr. Clay to file a slander suit and ask for payment for services rendered. Its not about the money but the principle.

Selina Moore, you should be ashamed.

So according to the Elements of the "crime" for failing to work after paid, you state you aren't happy with the work etc and that he broke he door he "put in". That charge is for a scam such as taking money and NEVER returning to work EVER. You will be charged on your court date for filing fraudulent statements in order to obtain a criminal charge. Just making sure you know that. One post you stated "the magistrate thinks different".... Magistrates only issue charges based on the eronious statements that you feed them. You think everyone here is telling you wrong BUT, you will see that YOUR callous behavior will get yourself caught in the JUSTICE system. And lastly, you aren't the only one who can utilize CAPITALIZATION in sentences.

Sounds like you are a bonfide psychopath, out to damage the name of someone due to you being scorned by a man somewhere deep in your past, so now, all men are your enemy.

Sincerely, not a preacher, not a bojangles consumer, and not someone who is a long lost relative of a 90 year old that was too lazy to assist the poor lady to the bathroom. But rather someone who knows who you are and all about the scornful ways that you savagely publicly humiliate the men who turn you down.

And just to post script, I don't guess you realize the gratitude this community has to Mr Clay and the ones who stood by him while his sons servered in wars overseas (one of which almost died yet returned for several other tours of duty with the Marine Corps), for your very right to callously attack his demeanor and family name as you have. I'm guessing that you'll be voting for Hillary (Killary) Clinton. And yes, I am a neighbor.... One of the many that closed my door in your face.

What you will hear is the sound of nothing as the case is continued month after month after month after month until one or the other gets tired of it, runs out of lawyer money, or croaks.

Unfortunately, this is what can happen but I am willing to advocate for myself & others at the risk of being mocked.

I have mutiple private messages from folks not wanting to get involved in fear of this exact response .
I will not betray their confidence. So to those of you who have shared your NEGATIVE experences r/t CLAY'S HOME REPAIR, keep them coming ! I beleive you because I am a VICTIM, too !

We expected a honest days work for a honest pay . . not only was this business incapable of providing the service advertised ( home repair ) but the owner flat out STOLE from many of us, not showing any intent to start or complete the work paid for ! A known fact I have heard repeatedly from my neighbors. & people who know of this business !

There are details many are not aware of. Thank you for your interest.

March the 11th @ 9a, court room # 4 you will be able to hear the evidence & outcome.

"Everything I have said here is true ! People are coming out of the wood work"


I have no experience with the individual in question or you and can't speak to the character of anyone involved. With that being said, the only post I see on here painting the business in a negative light is you. According to your postings, he's out there doing a lot of work and leaving a lot of folks unhappy, but you're the only one offering up complaints.

I'd hang on to all of that proof if I were you and get contact information from all of those people that emerged from the woodwork. You're making some pretty hefty negative claims regarding both an individual and a business in which you emphatically state that you can prove. You may very well need that proof if the individual decides to mount a counter suit (or a suit in general) for libel and slander, which they would probably be wise to do if they had any possible grounds to do so given the circumstances.


"The $75 was for material to start a small gate to go across my porch. He signed a receipt. I have talked with 2 of his neighbors & they comfirmed his DECEITFUL & DISHONEST practices ! ! But no one wants to get involved"


It was my understanding from reading your initial posting that the $75 was for materials and the only work that you had mentioned at that time was the door. If he was attempting to install the door, I'd have to assume that he had the materials on hand to do so. Also, if you have a receipt that he signed, wouldn't logic suggest that this is an indication that the materials in question were in fact purchased?


Personally, I'd have to question the validity of the claims stated by you and your underlying motivation as your postings seem to have the specific intent of harming the individual's business and personal reputation- especially given the claims that you have apparently managed to find a plethora of individuals that have had work (unsatisfactorily) completed by the dude. I mean, it's not like you were asking for information on how to get in touch with the dude. You were essentially stating a complaint and asking other people to offer negative complaints. You didn't ask the folks herein to relay their respective experiences, but their complaints specifically. Also, the information that you have provided seems like it may be a little contradictory (e.g. complaining that you gave him a deposit for materials and have a signed receipt for the materials).

Yet another confirmation on the DECIETFUL business PRACTICES of CLAY'S HOME REPAIR ! This time a local minister . . he said, " I thought he had gotten straightened out ".

CLAY'S HOME REPAIR has removed the sign from his front yard. CHEATING your neighbors is not nice !

I talked with another neighbor & he said, " Oh, that's what he does . . when somebody is on him he'll take it down for awhile & then after he thinks they forgot he puts it back out . . l o l ".

His SCAM is pretty routine ! ! He has LIED & CHEATED our neighbors for too long ! !

The Wilkes Co. Sheriff Dept. is looking for him now to serve the criminal complaint paper on him.
If you have seen this man please do the right thing & turn him in.

Court is March 11th @ 9 am , court room # 4. File : 16 CR 050290

To all of you who have been SCAMMED, CHEATED & LIED to by CLAY'S HOME REPAIR . . this is your chance to have some justice.

$75 is reasonable for a deposit to do a simple, small project ( a little gate to go across my porch ). The balance was to be paid in full upon completion. The inside closet door was a different project.

CLAY'S HOME REPAIR on New Hope Rd., in Purlear is NOT an HONORABLE business & has a known REPUTATION of being DECEITFUL in the community. I found out a little to late. Hopefully he will change his practices now that he has been exposed.

The door he broke ( busted the bottom out ) was a 6 panel bi-fold closet door from Lowes, approx. $60. It was a new door & it was already painted. I have all my receipts. All he had to do was put the hardware on & it in place. INCOMPETENT is the word that comes to mind !

U saying that you gave him $75 up front to buy the door and materials?

For those of you who have supported my endeavors to bring CLAY'S HOME REPAIRS on New Hope Rd in Purlear to justice for his DECEITFUL business practices , we have a court date of March 11th @ 9 am.

I have filed a report with the Better Business Bureau & WBTV ' On Your Side '. I also spoke with some of our neighbors at Bojangle's in Millers Creek. One in the crowd stated he is known for CHEATING & LYING to our neighbors for years, TAKING MONEY & NOT RETURNING to do the work ! ! It is a known fact that CLAY CHEATED a lady in her 90's ! ! ( verified by her family ). This lady's daughter thanked me for standing up to him .
He preys on older, simple country people . . . some of little means that struggle to meet their needs. CLAY'S HOME REPAIR does not care who he HURTS ! !

Thank you all again for the continued support !

Just be careful who you hire for these type jobs. Make sure you check out references. Cheapest isn't always better. It's amazing how some people can take advantage of others. Just remember What goes around comes around. I do not know this person or their business but I personally know others who have been duped the same way by someone else in the county.

I really hate to see people getting taken great advantage of especially when the person does not deserve air to breathe. Money is hard enough to come by and people like him are out stealing it away from innocent people who just want a simple or a large job done complete and honest. I hope that he has his day in the court system and finally guilty people are shown they will be dealt with. This man has quite the reputation to be sneaky and could not tell the truth if his life depended on it. Maybe the courts can bring him down once and for all. I do happen to know that there are many people in Wilkes county have been burned by him and very badly. I would hope that they come forward and reveal what he has done to them and maybe get some justice for all of his illegal gains.
