Hired to do a small addition (less than 800 sq feet) back in November 2023. He has yet to finish. Although he has been completely paid in full. The work he has done - I’m actually embarrassed to show people it’s so bad. We are now having to pay someone else to redo his work and to finish the addition.
Several steps of the construction- his workers did not complete the work as per the agreement and had to be re done. When connecting the water to the new addition - they cut our main water line resulting in being with water for the entire day.
Anyone needing construction work done. PLEASE DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN OR HIS COMPANY.
