I debated for several days whether to write this review or not, not too keen on writing "negative" reviews, & genuinely liking Randy as a person. However, after reflecting on the job he did for me, how it turned out, & how much he charged me, I feel like I must share my experience.
I had bought one of those 8x6 resin shed kits on Amazon (my first mistake) & hired someone off Craigslist (my second mistake) to put it together, which they royally screwed up, namely the roof. A few pieces were missing, to be fair.
After seeing some great reviews for this guy, I brought him out for an estimate & to see if it was salvageable. Randy assured me it was fixable & quoted me $350 to take the roof off & rebuild it.
I will say that he was always punctual & professional acting. But as I looked out over halfway through the quoted time, he had taken the shed apart, all the way down to the floor. So I checked in, & he assured me that I was gonna have a working, finished shed, though it'd take a couple extra hours.
Fine, I said, I just wanted it done & functional. A couple more hours pass, nearly double the quoted time. And he just gives up, says the best option is to throw a tarp over it & call it done.
It will be fully functional, he says. But it's not. The corners blow up, the doors don't work hardly at all, & the middle sags with any rain. He assured me again & again that I'd have a functional shed, & I really don't.
Randy kept bad-mouthing the previous people who first put it together, talking about professional quality & integrity. But at least the doors worked (though they were on backwards, okay) & it had an actual roof (though there were a few small gaps).
In the end, he ended up billing me for eight hours on a job quoted for four hours & an end result that would've taken two hours (removing roof, flipping the doors, & "installing" the tarp) if he had been honest from the get-go.
With his confidence & good reviews, I trusted that Randy would do right by me (my third mistake). He has not, leaving me with a shed that is less functional & less stable than when he arrived, with nearly $600 less in my bank account.
If Randy had half the integrity he claimed he had, he would have been more aware & upfront. He acted like he did what we agreed on, very quick to send the invoice in the middle of the night.
I have been waiting for him to reach out & apologize. Nothing. I would like a refund of most, if not all, of what I paid him since I'm gonna have to pay to replace the roof he dismantled & did not reassemble. I had hoped we found our new handyman, but not after this mess. read more
