All I wanted was a few pictures hung on wall, curtain rod, new shower heads and new weatherstripping around a door. Told him I was renting the house and only wanted new weatherstripping around the door & some WD40 sprayed. He looks at door & tells me this is wrong, that is wrong. I knew this already. He told me he could make some repairs, okay agree. I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST GOING TO DO SOME SMALL REPAIR ON THE DOOR & PUT NEW WEATHERSTRIPPIN. He did all the pictur hnanging, et., the first day. Despite being gone an hour to get his son from school, which I did not mind. What I did mind was after coming back, taking so much time & then charging me what I thought was too much for not doing very much. And does'nt leave til 7pm. Then he comes the following day to work on this door. I step away from the area to let him do his work, trying to be respectful. I finally had to go look because there was so much noise. He had the door completely off the frame! I should have stopped him right then & said I thought you were just going to do some "MINOR REPAIR"?
But I stupidly did not. Works for about 2 hours, then has to leave to get his son again. This time gone for almost 2 hours! Ridiculous! Then when he finishes (after or right around 7pm again) he gives me a paper for the complete charges. He charges me over $100 for "materials" to repair the door. I stewed about it over the whole weekend. Plus the charges to repair the door. I felt it was all just too much. I contacted him , (he had to come & get some things left there anyway, paint). When he came to get the paint, I said I want to discuss these charge. Told him I thought he needed to pay me back at least $200. He said that's not going to happen & which door did he want me to use to leave from? I originally met this person from Angie's List so I contacted them. FINALLY was able to make a complaint through them. BOTTOM LINE - this person does way too much talking . Talk to me entire time as if I knew about home repairs. Maybe why such signals crossed about the door when he made me think it was just going to be small repair. And I end up paying over $700 in repairs. REALLY FELT RIPPED OFF BY HIM AND DID'NT APPRECIATE THAT. WANTED TO TALK ME INTO THIS DOOR "REPAIR" JUST BECAUSE HE WAS IN BETWEEN WORKING ON SOME ENDLESS BUILDING JOB HE HAS GOING ON (said he talked a lot) AND FOUND A WAY TO MAKE A LITTLE EXTRA INCOME THROUGH THIS DOOR WORK. read more
