Chris Haines was recommended to us by a business where we purchased materials for decking. He told us that decking was his specialty. He was extremely responsive when it came to getting the quote to us and starting the job. He arrived on time and seemed anxious to get started. After the first couple of days, he just dropped off his brother and a friend and he left them to handle the job. The work was EXTREMELY BAD. If Chris inspected the work, when they finished, he must've been ok with it. We called him back and pointed out several areas we were not happy with. He walked around with his clipboard taking notes assuring us he would take care of everything. Never saw him again! He wouldn't even accept our phone calls. Not long afterwards, one of his workers was waiting outside. He said that Chris had told him that we didn't pay him so Chris couldn't pay him. I told him that was absolutely not true. So not only did Chris not do right by us he didn't even do right by his own worker. We have since hired someone to correct Chris's mistakes. Not only does he have to redo Chris's work but we also have to re-buy almost all the materials. The drainage system Chris installed under our deck leaks and also has to be redone. All in all I wish we had never hired him. What a waste of time and a huge waste of money! I wanted to write this review earlier after it all happened but I didn't want take the time to write it. Chris had already taken up so much of my time/energy. It was only today that I found out that we were going to have to re-purchase almost all new decking material. Because of Chris's poor work ethic and poor craftsmanship, this job is costing us an extra $3000+ easily. read more
