Recently hired KNL Tree Services (Kevin Durham) to cut down mostly small trees on my property and…read moreremove the brush. Kevin estimated it would take two days, but after five "days" of work he still had not finished and was terminated. The reason it took longer than estimated is the Kevin has unusual definition of a work day which can be as little as four hours. Regardless of the hours worked, Kevin demands payment for a full day and the end of each day. I found that Kevin would disappear for hours claiming he was hauling brush to recycle center 5 miles away. I found Kevin Durham and KNL Tree Service to be very unprofessional and unreliable. If you decide to hire KNL Tree Services, I recommend payment on an hourly basis and then only pay at the very end of the job and be prepared for numerous excuses for not showing without calling.

We needed the outside of our house painted and wanted Kino to do the job…read more He said he would email us the contract/bid, but never did. His son took a picture of our email address on his phone, but nothing written ever came through; hence there was a verbal understanding he would start the job. He did show up to our house and started pressure washing and wanted us to pay $1000 as a retainer and for the pressure washing. We had to type out an agreement for this, as he never did provide anything in writing. After he finished pressure washing, he said he would come back the next day with color samples, but never did. We had to text him when he would bring them by and he put us off by saying he would text us when. Weeks went by, we texted and called and did not hear back from him. The prime season for painting outside was drawing to a close. Then one day, 21 days later, 3 weeks !!!!!! his son (not him) showed up with old cans of paint as color samples. We asked the son what happened and the son replied that Kino lost his phone and was not able to get in touch with us!!! Because we did not hear from him and time was running out, we had to hurry and find someone else to do the job. Kino only worked to pressure wash the house. Another contractor said the pressure washing job would be $500, so really Kino owes us a refund of $500. To us, Kino was a big talker, making many promises, but failed to deliver for us. W.M.

The SHORT: Stay away from this guy, Unprofessional, Rude, Unfinished work, Billed over twice the labor that it actually took, Poor communication. I dont see how he can sustain any kind of business with how he treated us. I feel nobody should go through this and would encourage anyone reading this to choose a different handyman/contractor. The LONG: I reached out to him for a quote to replace some exterior window trim, 30sqft of linoleum, and swap out two exhuast fan motors. Pretty simple. He provided a quote which was for 16 hours, my wife had told him to do worst case scenario and the estimate was hourly so we thought nothing of it. He shows up almost an hour after he said he would on the first day (he said 9am, got there 10am), we discuss work he'll be doing briefly, he mentioned the floor in the bathroom would take less time and save some money if it ends up him just putting it over the existing floor, great. He had left for what i assume was lunch and to pick up some supplies? 2 hours later he returned, and performed a couple more hours of work for a total of about 4 hours at our home on day one. He returns the next day, works for about an hour then goes for another "lunch"/supply run? about an hour and half later he returns, and finishes up the window trim outside which he only had to replace 3 pieces. He was onsite at our home for a total of 3 hours on day 2 and said he was finished. He was only at our house a total of 7 hours, if you include his "lunch/supply" trips that would be a total of around 10 hours, which is overly generous since its a contractors job to know what materials they need and have them when they come onsite, unforseen stuff comes up sure, but to have none of what was needed before the job? He didnt have to replace any MDF in the bathroom as he laid the flooring over the existing. Also i've never paid someone hourly to eat lunch offsite.... I was at work but my wife was home, he demanded the total that was on the estimate of $1343.52 from my wife and she was shocked and mentioned he didnt do 16 hours of work, he says some rude things and tells her there is a big disconnect if she thinks all he did was 7 hours of work.....so being home by herself and being intimidated by a man demanding to be paid before he left, she felt the best route would be pay him so he would leave our home. NOT happy with how that played out. I call him up right after my wife explains what happened, i was shocked as well since he quoted us 16 hours and we had conversations about the bathroom cutting down on labor...so it was understood we only pay for the work he does, why would we pay 16 hours of labor if he was only onsite at our home 7 hours? Also the estimate included materials he didnt need or buy (MDF subfloor). He claimed he doesnt charge hourly but per day since we are in Anacortes and he is in Coupeville, so he charges for drive time and the full day no matter what. REALLY!? This is news to me and was never mentioned NOR did his estimate reflect or state that, it clearly shows QTY. 16 for labor, why would anyone assume he charges an entire day regardless? I told him i was not happy and didnt feel we should be charged the full amount on the original ESTIMATE....After about an hour of talking in circles i was exhausted and trying to be professional and civil, he said he needed to think about it and would get back to me.... I go outside to check his "handy" work....part of the trim didnt get caulked and none of it was painted....I had left paint for him as he asked before I went back to work from lunch. I message him and send him pictures, he claimed there wasnt enough time to paint since the caulking had to dry, he acknowledged the caulking was missed and should have been done...after more back and forth and rude comments by him, i was so done with everything i told him to refund me what he thought was fair and leave it at that, i told him i feel like we got ripped off, he didnt communicate well nor did his billing reflect the actual work he did, he agreed to refund $200.....Fast forward....it took him almost a month to send the check. He included a note saying "find another handyman" and "you get what you pay for"....and on the check he wrote "unrealistic expectations" in the "For" area. WOW, what a piece of work, can you get any less professional or childish? So all in all, we paid him $1143.52 to replace 3 pieces of window trim, glue down 30sqft of linoleum, and swap out 2 exchaust fan motors, which took him 7 hours of actual labor. Not only that, but he didnt caulk the window trim on one side, and didnt paint it. So I had to do that myself.

I instantly relaxed and sank into a chair, knowing I had a whole blissful weekend ahead of me- with no cleaning! No guilt about not doing it, no trying to cram it in around fun activities, no resentment as I scrubbed away another beautiful weekend, no fights with my husband over who-should-do-what, just a clean peaceful house to enjoy. This is seriously some of the best money I have ever spent. I read recently that buying things doesn't make you nearly as happy as hiring services. Let other people make a good living doing the things that you aren't good at or really don't like. I'm so sold on this idea now. I'd rather have a modest house, like ours, and get help keeping it nice, than live in huge one I had to clean myself. We started hiring Mysty just for a deep clean, then upped it to twice a month, then once a week, and then added our small business to her roster, too. So much more happiness! She and her team always do a great job, and the price is reasonable. And I also totally love that the products are green and nontoxic- the commercial products other people use give me headaches, but her stuff actually makes the air seem better! I am trying to think of something negative to add so this review doesn't sound "too good to be true" but I truly can't find a thing to criticize about this service.
