This is a one man outfit. The owner, Tim, is a bit off center and not a great communicator. I spoke with him on the phone about a small area of peeling paint around my tub drain. I explained that the clawfoot tub was on my back patio since my bathroom was being retiled and remodeled. He gave me a reasonable quote, sounded like he knew what he was talking about so I set up a day to come by. He came by my Land Park home at 5pm to do the repair and as the evening went by, he brought out a 60 watt lamp to work with since it was getting dark. That was a bad sign. During the repair he asked me if I saw any other chips in the tub he could repair "while I'm here". Although it was difficult to see since it was getting dark & his lighting was so amateur, I found 6 little chips in the tub. He started repairing those chips, bragging how color matching was his specialty. This was a time consuming 4 hour process and he left at 9pm, with my $450 check in his pocket. His phone quote was $200 but he charged (never telling me upfront) me an additional $250 for the 6 chips he repaired. I have no problem paying for repairs, but I think most of us like to be told upfront. Overall, not a bad gig for him, over $100/hour with minimal materials used. For that money, I expected some really nice results since I could have got the entire tub done by Miracle Method for a little over $1K. The next morning I went outside with natural light and the 6 chip repairs were obviously a shade off and the sanding process was uneven, leaving 6 little visually off-color bumps in the tub. I called the guy back the next day and explained the problem. He bellyached a little about how he'll have to come back at his own expense and how this should have been done inside in the first place... Uh, oh well, whatever, just come back and fix your work....He told me to contact him after the tub was installed inside. A couple weeks later, I text him that the tub was installed. No response...I text again the next business day...crickets. I call and leave a message. Nada. I decide to use another phone to call him and sure enough, he picks up. He tells me he's busy but he'll get back to me the following week. The following week he texts me saying he'll be over the following day either "late morning or the afternoon". Well that sure narrows things down I thought. I text him back stating that I'll be home at 1. The next day he texts me at noon while I'm away from home in class and asks if I can be home at 12:30. I again text him and tell him again that no, I'd be home at 1 (as I had already told him the night before). So after class, I get home at 12:50 and now wait for him. He texts me "IT is after 1"...I have no f...g idea what he means by this so I text him that I've been at home since 12:50 and am waiting. No reply....I then call him and he picks up. He angrily tells me that he's been waiting 45 minutes for me, I look outside, nobody there. I'm thinking he went to the wrong address or has me confused with someone else so I asked when he knocked on my door. He said he never did. I asked if he rang my bell. He said he didn't. Asked if he called me. He answers "No". So basically he's calling me a lia. I asked him how in the world could he determine whether I was home if he didn't knock, ring or call....and why would I "pretend" not to be home?? At that point I was fuming and so incensed by this guy that I told him not to bother finishing the job. I'll live with his mediocre work as my reminder to myself to use companies that have quality controls and provide solid customer service. I've now read several of his reviews and see the pattern of poor people skills and dodgy customer communication he has had with others. I would recommend using a consistently reliable company with solid customer service like Miracle Method to anyone needing tub or sink refinishing. I've learned my lesson. read more
