We hired Mo from Ecological Living to complete a significant home addition and renovation. The project involved constructing a large garage, game room, bedroom, and bathroom, as well as converting our old garage into a utility room, bedroom, and two bathrooms. This was a complex job, expanding our home from 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
Unfortunately, our experience with Mo was highly disappointing. Key issues included:
Slow Progress and Missed Deadlines: The project took far longer than anticipated, causing considerable frustration and disruption.
Unjustified Charges: Mo repeatedly billed us for services we did not request, raising concerns about the transparency of his invoicing practices.
Unprofessional Behavior: Mo was extremely pushy and rude about payment deadlines, showing little regard for open communication or professionalism.
Fraudulent Invoicing: A particularly troubling incident involved Mo submitting a modified flooring invoice, inflating costs to increase his take-home pay. Despite giving him an opportunity to rectify this, he remained rude, uncooperative, and difficult to engage unless he needed something from us.
While the craftsmanship was largely acceptable, significant errors were made in critical areas, including the foundation, which are costly and inconvenient to address.
Overall, the project was both over budget and plagued by unnecessary delays. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Mo or Ecological Living to anyone. I strongly urge potential clients to avoid working with him, as his practices raise serious ethical and professional concerns. read more
