I hired Barry to do a plumbing job, I fell sick with Covid. he called me after starting the job working on it for 2 days. as soon as he called me I texted him immediately after and I told him I was at Urgent care. He said he was near my home. mind you he came anyway saying he was already near me. I told him I would call him as soon as I leave urgent care, a hour went by. Barry called me and asked what's going? before I got the chance to call him back while seeing the Doctor. I said I'm at the doctors, mind you i'm SICK!!! he said he would wait around for a few. while at urgent care they did not accept my insurance after sitting there for over 2 hours, so I went to another one where they could not take me until three. so I went home got back in the bed until my appointment and the last thing I was thinking about was calling him due to the fact I already told him I'm SICK!! Then I receive a text asking can he get paid for the work that he already did. which was not discussed. I said when the job is done he will get paid in full. He was being scetchy as if me being sick was a que that I wasn't going to pay him. Let's not forget in the meantime I have a ceiling that was completely removed in my lower bathroom. a big cut out hole in the wall in my master bed room and the toilet taken up in the masters bedroom . so not sure how me getting sick was a indication as if he was not going to get paid. So then I told him if he would like to come the next day I'll stay in my room and have a mask on he could come to finish the job. Barry then proceeded to say he is booked and cannot come until the following week as if he was trying not to give me any options since He could not work on the job that day even though I also said he could come the next day. So fast forward they came back checked to make sure there was no leak and he still seen it was a leak and told me he would be back in a couple of days. that was December 10th. and I haven't heard anything from him. I texted him to find out why he abandoned the job, he read the message and never texted back. seems as if he was trying to get paid so he didn't have to come back to complete the job that he started because he asked several times for payment of a half completed job, so as it stands today. I have to find someone to put the ceiling dry wall back up, put my toilet back in and replace the entire drywall in the masters bedroom since the cut out was so huge that it's just best to replace the entire area rather patch it up. I noticed he kept trying to get paid for what was done and that told me then he wasn't going to come back to complete the job. I sent Barry a text letting him know if I had known he was going to abandon the project I would never have worked with him and he left me with a bigger project than what he started with. Be careful , he is a talker and I honestly don't think he knows how to do drywall if you can't do something Then why tear up my home if you didn't know what you was doing and knew you was not willing to complete the job. I told Barry this is not a good look for his Business or his name. It shows he read the message but refused to give me an answer as to why .I do not recommend using him. he may just skip out on the job before it is complete especially if he can get money up front and leave you with more damage than what you started with. Use at own risk. , I wish we could add pictures to show what was done to my home by the hands of this company. read more
