Brendan initially came out and did a nice job on fixing a faucet in my first floor bathroom. I…read morethen had him take a look at a recliner that I needed to have fixed. He said it needed a new motor, which he asked me to pay for up front ($185), which I did. The motor was delayed, which is not uncommon these days. I stopped hearing back from Brendan about a month ago, which was probably 6 weeks after the motor was ordered. I'm left to assume that he just took the $185 that I gave him and moved on. I'm preparing to send Brendan a demand letter, prior to my taking him to small claims court. It's a real shame. I have additional small jobs to do around the house, and was hoping Brendan could be my Handyman going forward. Now I just want my money back.

I had several issues with this contractor. They are extremely sloppy they do not use drop cloths…read moreand i constantly had to clean up after them at night. After installing a new floor, they exposed it to the mud you use to tile a shower,as well as the Red Guard you use to waterproof the shower before tiling. I had to scrub the floor each night they left To get the mud residue and red guard drips up from the new uncovered floor. They also failed to protect a brand new acrylic tub while they were tiling and scratched in several places. I bought a repair kit at Lowe's and was able to buff them out at night after cleaning up the mess they made in the unprotected tub.They totally gutted my bathrooms and they do not own a Shop vac so they had to use our vacuum cleaner. They cleaned the cement out of a bucket and dumped the cement right in our garage which of course I had to clean up. They also started work prior to having a dumpster delivered so our garage was filled with junk for a week and a toilet fell over and smashed into pieces. They also cut tile with a wet saw in my garage instead of out in the grass away from the house. I had to power wash the entire garage and driveway to get up all the caked on dried up tile dust. Again because they don't drop cloth anything, they dripped tile residue all over our laminate floors and steps,as they carried the fresh cut dripping wet tile throughout the house. The contractor also has unusual hours, usually they averaged 4 hours a day 10-2 which drags the job out longer while your house is ripped apart. His proposal did say 5 weeks but I assumed that was 8 hours a day but I was wrong. He is a very good plumber and he did a nice job installing our floors in the bathrooms. The tile lines in one bathroom were good but the tile job in the last shower he did was terrible,he even installed a tile that was chipped and tried to cover it with grout.I am also hiring another contractor to come in and regrout the shower because it is terrible. My biggest complaint is the lack of respect they showed to our house with their sloppy work. I would not recommend them if you value clean, timely work, you will spend a lot of time cleaning up after them.

I hired Ed to refinish and re-stain the floor in my dining room, living room and stairway. Ed…read moreshowed up to my house on 9/9/21 and started sanding the dining room on the first day while his friend Mark worked on the two stair treads. He was watching what Mark was doing when he was there. He was not working on sanding or anything related to it at the time. He told me on Friday that he would be working Saturday 9/11/21 in order to finish sanding the floor. On Saturday he showed up around 9:30am and by 11am he asked if he could leave to go watch a football game. He returned around 3:30pm and rushed around to finish sanding the floor. He was at the house for no more then an hour and a half. During that time he sanded the three aluminum strips between the vinyl and wood floor by the kitchen and bathroom. See attached photos. He also sanded the aluminum strip between the carpet and wood floor at the doorway of the bedroom. I was very worried about having him continue so I called him up and spoke with him on Saturday evening around 6pm. He assured me the floor would look nice and it would be completed in a timely manner. I was very hesitant to proceed but I did. On Monday 9/13 I spoke to him and he was going to finish sanding the floor and replace boards which I had asked him not to do. I told him multiple times I did not want the floor boards replaced until he put a sample of stain on the floor over the existing stains in the floor show through. He told me multiple times without ever applying the new darker stain that they would most defiantly show through. He went against what I requested and pulled the boards out anyway. When I came home he was replacing the red oak boards with white oak. I asked him why and he told me the NHWF association said there could be 5% white oak in a red oak floor. I found out this was a lie. I ended up firing him. When I did he called me an A*hole twice as he was loading up his equipment. In review the boards he cut out were not square and he damaged a perfectly good board with one of his tools by putting a 2-inch slit in it. I reviewed my security camera and noticed on 9/10 he showed up to my place and went inside and walked back outside to read the newspaper in his car for 28 mins before getting to work. He was the cheapest price for floor refinishing, but he lacked quality, professionalism, attention to detail and time management to complete the project. I have since had another contractor over to refinish the floors and he put Bona Driftwood mix on the floor and it has covered most of the stains as I figured it would. If he had just listened to my request he would most likely have finished the project. Hopefully I can save someone the trouble I went through with this review.

My bedroom ceiling was sagging,and cracked along a seam. Broken drywall on one side of the ceiling…read morefan, which bore the weight of the sagging. Alex and Luis were both willing to work on the Easter holiday. When they surveyed the damage; the ceiling appears to be unsalvageable and possibly two panels of drywall needing replacement. One of the guys managed to climb into the crawlspace attic move some insulation that had sunk below the joist level. Subsequently, what made it easier to lift the sagging panels to be flush against the joists, so they can be secured with drywall screws. I am happy that the existing ceiling could be salvaged instead of replaced, which would cost significantly more. Both men worked diligently three consecutive days. The ceiling looks brand new. This was well worth the money I invested. Steve , who is the manager of this service was helpful and knowledgeable when I spoke with him over the phone.
