I have read Jared's defending comment about my review just now. Jared lied, this man has asked me to send some images and i sent quite a few immediately and actually they are quite clear images of the small part of the brick wall damage. I called him after sending him the images and right away he said it was c$5,500 and I asked him how come. It was a lie when he said he quoted for "C$5,000" He said because it was 10 foot long! and I said "no", it was merely 4 to 5 foot long or so! He lied about me quoting for C$2,500 from another tradesman, the other tradesman asked for C$3,000! I read my previous review i made for him and he lied!!! He was not just gouging for money from any vulnerable customer like me but also tried to defend himself by lying and would hope I would take down this 1 star review. (1) The other tradesman quoted for C$3,000! (2) Jared quoted for c$5,500 right away on the phone and I asked him why. He said because it was 10 foot long (from the images I sent!! ) and I right away said "no" it is NOT10 foot long! (3) He lied again, he even told me from the images that it was slanting AND I SHOULD re-enforce and for C$10,000! No, he lied again, I NEVER asked him to re-enforce the whole wall because it is good and not slanting, very little slanting and from another person's judgement. Anyone who can catch his lie and he would lie and gouge if he can, again! JUST BE AWARE! (4) Again, from the conversation on the phone he said that he would come to have a look the next day and he did not show up and I waited for him for quite a while and I called him and he said instead of apologizing, HE SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE MANY CUSTOMERS AND HE DID NOT NEED TO SEE ME. There was no empathy and I said my time was as valuable and he needed to respect. He called later to apologize on the phone BUT ONLY WHEN I PUT UP MY 1 STAR REVIEW. HE CALLED was not because he was sincerely apologizing but he would wish that I took down his 1 star review! EVERYONE has to read these reviews from Yelp and Google. HE DEFENDED LATER, LIED AND HE WOULD STILL GOUGE! (5) He said I was rude and I said he was just not rude, but also someone who gouges and will lie again! If he lied on the Yelp review and on Google review to try to defend himself (ALL CUSTOMERS, read and be aware). This man without showing remorse or guilt OTHER than now HE LIED AND SO in order to take away his unprofessionalism, guilt and unremorsefullness, someone like him would take advantage and gouge for more. Just warnings! Always pay attention and remember what he would do if he says that he would deliver and than not! Always compare some other professionals with their rates and would not let anyone to let you believe just on the sent images that I sent to him and he tried to gouge and take advantage. read more
