We hired Joe to remodel our basement. We agreed on specifics and signed a contract. After a couple of months into the project, he stopped showing up. We would have to chase him down or text him repeatedly to get any sort of response. Each time was a new excuse and a new reason he couldn’t be here. He took our second installment of money and we have not seen any of it reflected in the project. He essentially took our money and stopped showing up. We tried to confront him about our issues, and more excuses were made. Please don’t hire him. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else. In this economy, someone taking thousands of dollars from you is not something to be taken lightly. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this guy.

We hired Joe to build a deck for us. He was quick to give us a quote and get the contract signed, and the job was supposed to take three weeks. We paid him 50% upfront for materials and labor, but that’s when things started going downhill.
His schedule was all over the place — he’d show up for maybe 3 hours a day, one or two days a week. Deadlines kept getting missed, and every time we asked about it, there was a new excuse. At one point he even said that deadlines “don’t mean anything” to him.
We later found out he didn’t actually use the upfront payment to buy materials — we had to cover that ourselves out of the last payment. The quote also included debris removal and fixing the siding, but he never did either of those things. After FIVE MONTHS of constant pushing, he finally finished the deck, but left all the garbage behind and never came back to fix the siding.
The deck itself looks fine, but the experience was a nightmare. Be careful if you decide to hire him — I definitely wouldn’t do it again.
