One star is given bc I have to, not bc he is that good... This guy is not qualified in any way shape or form to work in homes. I continuously gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking he was having a rough time with his business partner abandoning him or whatever his excuse was-HUGE lapse of judgment on my part. He took months to do a job that he could have done in 2 weeks. One week all he did was show up and take a measurement and leave. Another he came and dropped off Sheetrock and never came back the rest of the week. He had more excuses than anyone I've ever met: two blown tires, one he even sent a picture of a car with silver rims when his are black. His kids have been sick. He's been sick his kids had COVID, fall break, no sitter etc. His grandpa was hurt. His dad was hurt. His buddy was busy so he had no help. It went on and fucking on. When we finally got word our appliances were going to be delivered we tried to get him to speed up his work. Nope. Worked 2 days that week and then his gramps was sick so he had to keep watch. I asked if he'd be done with my pantry by the end of the next week and he said yes...he wasn't even close. Finally we had someone else come to help re-route a water line and that's when we were told go get a second opinon on the work. I'd been trusting this dude's process and thinking he'd pull it together in the end but no. His drywall was different thicknesses, his cuts were jagged and shitty. He had my kitchen ceiling rigged together in some hodgepodge way that started drooping in one day. When we were told our ceiling might fall in on our kid and that the electrical was shit too, I finally had enough. I texted Jesse and gave him a shot to fix his work and instead he defended it and then the coward blocked me, he didn't complete any of the work he was hired to do, considering he had one last step on my kid's bathroom tile to do, said he needed to let the tile cure, I guess he just fucken forgot bc he never did do that. I don't know. He was paid to do the trash removal from our demo and he dragged it almost to the alley behind my house (not allowed but ok whatever) and instead he just left it in a pile in the back yard, wood and walls with old nails stabbing out were left right at the base or our daughter's tree swing. Thanks asshat. Way to get the kid involved in the mess. My kids could have done better than he did by watching YouTube. Hell, my biggest regret is that I didn't just do that myself. And to make it worse, he seems to think that bc he set his own fee low and then took 3 months to do a 2 week job that he has earned the money he should be returning to me. So if you meet this guy, run. He drives a white Nissan with black rims. He's not a contractor no matter what he says.
Jesse Hinton, if you don't want bad reviews to follow you around town you should really consider returning the money we asked for and not trying to lie and say you felt owed that amount. What you think you should be paid after working for 3 months and what we agreed on prior to you taking 3 months and never finishing the job are not the same.
Thankfully we had another actual crew come in and do it right so we can put this mess behind us. Until then, I'll make sure I tell as many people as possible to watch out for Jesse. His dad Jesse. His brother Jesse. It's like they're all frauds and I'm the idiot who tried to trust in a charity case because I felt like he needed a win. He doesn't. read more
