This review has been on hold only because we had to take this contractor to court due to not supplying our materials or finishing the project that he was contracted to doThis man can really sell himself and sadly we were taken by him He was hired to do the finishing work of our kitchen which included,
Applying a texture on the walls Prime and paint the walls and ceiling Provide and paint wood trim work around the windows, door and flooring Build and install a faux beam separating our kitchen and living area Provide and install our flooringWhen the time came for the contract to be signed he asked for over half in the payment for "the materials" and we gave it to him That was in April and our job was scheduled to start the end of June He had all that time to order not only our flooring, but the paint and the trim, etcof which we now know he only bought the primer and the paint Specific things that we were worried about, were not taken care of, namely nail oxidation from our ceiling He was to use a special primer on that, and never didWe also asked him "when you start a job, do you stay on it" and "how long will this take"? His answers were yes and 3-days We were on a time table so it was very important that this be done on schedule (of course we had a buffer for incidentals)When the job was to start I called confirming the date and he said he was backed up a day and would be a day late When he did show up he patched a few of the holes in the walls and said that the walls were in too bad of shape for "orange peel texture" and that he would need to contact his plasterer and let us know when he could come in and do the job He then told us that it would be 2-weeks before his plasterer "might" be able to come out to our home That was totally unacceptable We ended up hiring our own plasterer to do the job right away so he could complete his part of the contractThe first time he was on the job, we asked him about our flooring and he opted to tell us that Home Depot had sent our materials to another state He said he was working with them and would let us knowEach time after that when we inquired about our flooring he told us a story about how he was working on it and how poorly Home Depot was in providing him answers about it He refused to give us any information regarding the flooring order In attempting to push to get our flooring in, we asked for information to call Home Depot and he refused to provide us with anything that could help We later found out that he never ordered the flooring and ended up purchasing it ourselvesHe showed a total of times to our home over a week period which resulted in him priming the ceiling and walls and painting which was subparWe also had to wash the floors, counters and even our brand new cabinets because he refused to use a drop cloth or even mask off areas Wish we could add pictures of the mess he left us He said he would come back do the finishing touches of the paint work, which he never didIt took us hours of our own time to fix all the mistakes he left behindHe also was going to sand texture spots in our ceiling so it looked uniform and never did that either The last time that he was at our home, he said his employee who did the trim work was going to be there the next day and install everything, that all the trim was painted and ready to go We never saw him or heard from the contractor again The contractor never returned multiple calls, texts or emailsAfter so many failed attempts to get him back to our house to finish the job, and many attempted at getting him to commit to an "end" date, we decided to end our relationship with himWe ended up contacting our local police department on advice of our lawyer to try to get our money back less the cost of the paint He informed the officer that he would refund a portion of our down payment which never happened After several attempts at resolving this situation, we ended up having to hire a lawyer and take him to court to finalize our dealings with himIn essence, this contractor took our money and ran Hind sight taught us many lessons on this job In the end yes our kitchen is completed by the excellence of a master carpenter whom we wanted to hire in the first place, but time constraints didn't allow Everything happens for a reason
