This guy is a nightmare. We hired Jason to build a screened in porch. He was slow, incompetent, changed plans midstream, was financially unstable, and completely dishonest.
1. Slow. The porch was to be completed by May 31st. As a courtesy we extended the deadline to June, then July, Aug, Sept, Oct, etc. Eventually we fired Jason for non-completion in November.
2. Incompetent. We had to hire a second contractor to correct Jason's errors. Among other issues, the ceiling leaked every time it rained. Jason tried three times to correct it but was never successful. Jason placed a rain gutter directly over an electrical outlet he had the electrician install. Who does that? There are too many errors and not enough space to mention them all.
3. Did not follow plans. The plans we originally discussed were not followed and no explanation was given for the changes. We came home to the porch ceiling being pitched directly into an existing wall of the house. It was supposed to be pitched away from the house. We still don't understand why anyone would direct water to an existing structure instead of away from it. Again, we had to hire another contractor to fix the problem.
4. Financially unstable. Halfway through the project Jason's insurance was cancelled for non-payment. Also, a member of crew called us at home and asked us to give him money. Jason told them he didn't have enough money to make payroll.
5. Dishonest. Jason sent us a text saying the project was done. He said he would call the inspector and that he expected payment immediately afterword. Fortunately we took it upon ourselves to meet with the inspector who then told us there were very serious reasons the porch would not pass inspection. Jason outright lied and told us the project was done and that the inspector gave him a phenomenal review. read more
