‘A nightmare’: Ontario family sleeps in car during botched $58K renovations

Ajay Sood and his family bought their dream home in Oakville this past July, but they say a contractor destroyed their house after refusing to finish the work despite being paid in advance.

“I’m living a nightmare, I’m living a nightmare, and it seems like there is no end,” Sood told CTV News Toronto.

When they bought their home, Sood said they decided to upgrade the kitchen and one of the bathrooms. They found a company to do that work for $27,000.

“Without my knowledge, I came in, and my whole kitchen was gone. I said, ‘Where is my kitchen? What are you doing?'” said Sood.
