    I fired him for not following the contract nor code and still not finishing the job many, many months after the contract said he would. Neighbors told me after the first two weeks he started only showing up, at most, 2 days a week. He painted the concrete patio bright blue. I did not tell him to paint it and I wanted to keep the concrete natural. He told me it was damaged but failed to prove. To support the kitchen floor he did one vertical 2x4. Now once I get it fixed by someone else, it is going to crack the tile he installed. He painted a fireplace with non-heat resistant paint. He told me it was the same paint they use on grills. He was supposed to replace the gutters but he only painted the old ones. Now they are falling off. He did not properly install the carpet. He piecemealed together pieces of carpet. The seams are terrible. The carpet is now peeling up. There are spots of paint and rust on the carpet. Did not file for the required permits before the job started. Was supposed to install frosted glass. Instead installed plastic when he was supposed to install frosted glass. It is now broken. Installed broken sections of granite for the countertop. Said there was already an access under the house for an addition. There is not. I constantly asked for pictures to confirm information, did not supply. Dishonest.

    Warren and his team were wonderful. The estimate for my bathroom was very reasonable and the work was done ahead of time. They were neat, friendly, on time, courteous, a fantastic group of people!! The work done was top end. My bathroom looks beautiful! They were meticulous in all the work they did and did indeed pay attention to fine details. I have already recommended them to friends and family and would definitely use ABL again!

    Warren and his team were efficient, professional, and polite. They did exactly what they said they'd do, did it quickly and very well at a fair price, and left the place cleaner than it was when they arrived. We would not hesitate to call on A Better Look again in the future, and definitely recommend them to others.
