My mother is 84 and has mobility issues. The stairs leading from her back door needed replacing. I am out of state and helping my mom arrange a contractor.
After a meeting with my mother, and clear explanations of what we needed and her mobility issues, we got a quote from Cam at Careful Cut.
After a few days of working on the project, Cam told my mother the work was done. Being a trusting person, my mom paid him.
The work was not done. There was a large gap between the house and the railing (unlike the railing that was replaced) which was a major safety hazard for an elderly person. See picture. The railing that was there was splintery and not sanded. He also missed a number of spots when painting.
We contacted him and asked him to complete the work. At first he said he would "see what he could do about the railing and that the door was in the way". Note that the door was only in the way because he forgot to account for door opening when building the steps.
When, a few days later, we asked him again when he could finish the job , he sent a rude message then ghosted us.
We had to hire someone else to finish the work. Do not hire Cam at careful cut carpentry read more
