STAY AWAY -- You've been warned! I had a leak from my upstairs washer that affected the ceiling downstairs. It wasn't a major issue, but I wanted it handled quickly, so I made a few calls. [Company Name or Person's Name] was the first to call back. I explained the issue, and he gave me a price on the spot. I agreed right away -- no hassle, no negotiation -- and even paid half upfront as requested. That evening, he cut out a small area (about 5x13) and set up a vent fan to dry it out. He told me to let it run for four days, and then he'd come back to do the mold remediation and patch the ceiling.
A week went by, and he changed the day and time three different times, each time blaming traffic or other delays. I had little choice but to wait I still had a hole in my ceiling, and I even took off work one day for an appointment he canceled last minute.Ten days later, he finally came back. I assumed he was finishing the job that day, since that's what he told me earlier. He said he would patch the area, let it dry while he went to lunch, then come back to sand and paint it. I had to step out but left the door unlocked for him. When I returned, the work wasn't done. He said he'd have to come back again to sand and paint something he never mentioned before. By then, I had already paid him in full, so I was at his mercy. He scheduled another appointment for the following week. The day before, he changed the arrival window again. I expressed my frustration, and he told me he usually works with insurance companies and that the price he gave me was already a "favor" -- that it should've cost two to three times more. I told him he should've said that upfront and let me decide, not take the job and then complain later. He claimed 95% of the job was already done (which was false) and offered me an ultimatum: either take a $50 refund or let him come at the new time. I told him to just finish the job -- because no one would complete the work for $50, and he knew that. He eventually came back and finished it, but All trash will go in your trash call every time. Bottom line: The experience was frustrating, unprofessional, and not worth the stress. Stay away -- you've been warned.
