I really waited a while before I wrote this review to give Gage the opportunity to do the right thing. Initially, he was very responsive and gave a fair price to do work for us. The work was done satisfactorily, however, there was a miscommunication between him, me, and my husband, and one item wasn't finished. I take part of the blame for that, however, he put railings up on exterior stairs, and instead of cutting the posts and trimming them out, he left them high and unfinished. I had given him a picture of exactly what I wanted, and we even discussed it, and instead, he just asked my husband if they looked OK, and my husband, who really wasn't part of the whole aesthetics discussion, said they looked okay. Now, they had been calling me and videoing me on everything, and why they didn't do it on this, is beyond me. Not a huge deal, and he finished about a half a day early, and he got paid for the job, I called him right away, and he definitely agreed that there was a miscommunication and he was sorry that he left the railing unfinished. I think it would probably be about 45 minutes worth of work altogether at most. I know it's a bit of a trek for him to come to where we have our place, so I had asked him for two other estimates, and I said get back to me on the other estimate and then when you do that for us if it's OK, could you please just finish the other job. So he agreed to that, and he promised he would come that Saturday. He did not come when he promised, and then he stopped communicating with me. I finally was able to reach him, and I'm very nice during all of these transactions. I'm always very understanding. He said he was having some personal issues with a relative, so I totally understood. He promised me he would come that Monday. We drove an hour and a half to meet and pay him, and he never showed up. I texted him several more times and called him. Crickets. I asked him to please let us know if he was going to do the job or we would make other arrangements and to just please let me know. I don't care what kind of schedule you have or what kind of an emergency you have, but when you have a business, just take the time to write a cursory text to a customer and say, "I can't make it when I said I would,." He continued to string us along, and we lost valuable time trying to hire another contractor. If you can get him to come out and do a small job, he's fine. I would not rely on him to come back. Really a disappointment. :( read more
