Unreliable. Very convoluted communication. Doesn't respond to emails and texts after handing out…read morebusiness card. Makes commitments to work specific days, and despite several interem confirmation texts and emails from the customer, does not show up on the day scheduled, and does not give prior notice he doesnt plan to come that day. Mr. Spencer Hill's initial response on yelp was quick. My first impression was that he seemed cleancut and ready to do good work. He came over, handed me a card with email and phone number on it and said he was available Thursday and Friday. I said i would like to book him those days. He would give me an estimate. He sent an estimate. I said yes please. He took several days to get back to me, and then said he no longer could honor those days. He offere me monday. Although i had plan to leave the state, I again said yes please. I was only available to be there that week, and i changed my flight so i could meet him Monday. I sent some follow up messages. I sent a confirmation query the day before. He informed me the morning he was supposed to arrive to work that he couldn't come. Another problem is that he arbitrarilly wants to continue communication through the yelp platform, which is really just for finding businesses and sharing feedback. As a cultural norm, people communicate by phone, text and email for regular communication. It's weird to arbitrarilly move communication back to yelp after making phone/email/text contact. It's very odd to expect someone to use yelp like a texing platform on a continued basis. How would a customer even know to look there for ongoing messgaes? I hire a lot of workers and i have never encountered this before. It's especially odd after meeting in person and handing a customer a business card with a phone number and email on it. A business should take in to account what the customary mode of communication is, especially for the client base it serves. In particular, I feel strung along by this business at a very real cost.

When moving to Portland and with no idea on who to contact for some repair jobs, I basically was…read morethrowing a dart at a list of repair companies. I took on a house that had a lot of surprises, mostly leaks in different parts of the house. Over the course of a couple years, they were trying to diagnose the issues, claiming all manner of things that even I, with almost zero experience in this stuff, found perplexing. At one point they said an entire window had to be replaced. I had to wait an entire month for it to be special ordered and delivered, and after tearing out my old window, the guy realized they ordered the WRONG SIZE, and the office put it on the tech to relay the news. Office wouldn't even call me. So I called them and they coerced me into paying for that one and simply adding slats of wood to the sides of the window, obviously because they didn't want to get stuck with useless product. Yes, I should have stood up for myself and made justified demands, but what could I do with a leaky window? And that wasn't even the source of the problem! Turns out NONE of the four or five different techs that came out ever diagnosed the correct source of the leak. And me, with zero knowledge construction was right about the source of the leaks the entire time. Got a father and son team to come in through word of mouth and have not had a single problem since. One of the techs actually fell asleep in the truck on the job. Yes, I have video proof and will upload it if I have to. Bottom of the barrel people working here, that I wouldn't trust with a set of Lincoln Logs. You live and learn. Never forget. Always trust good word of mouth.
