Dominic Monaghan had some landscaping done at his place by a guy he thought was qualified to do the job — but turned out to be far from it … this according to a new lawsuit.
The “Lord of the Rings” and “Lost” star just filed suit against Bruce De Luis, who Monaghan says presented himself as a contractor last year and agreed to do some work on his L.A. property — installing steps and a stone patio, as well as general landscaping.
Monaghan claims he shelled out a total of $53,840 for the job, but eventually came to find a bunch of defects and a substandard end product. He says he got a new estimate from a licensed contractor for the repairs, which came out to about $21,000.
When he went back to De Luis — who Monaghan claims didn’t have a contractor’s license to begin with — the actor says the guy told him to get lost … refusing to reimburse him for the alleged sloppy work.
Monaghan’s asking a judge to force De Luis to fork over his original expenses and other damages.
