This guy was hired by our GC when we added a room for my mother in law onto our home. This guy came out and hooked our pool equipment back up to our pool that needed to be moved due to the room addition. The pump leaked after he hooked it up. My husband told him it leaked and his answer was that the leak was not his problem, he was only hired ot hook up the equipment. My husband then questioned him because he was hired by the GC to get it working. I woud like to add that it was working prior to the project. However, after my husband questioned him he thew his hands in the air and said "Oh, your gonna play it like that way." He then yelled at the guy with him to go get an item to repair the leak.
We were going to hire him to move the pool light as well. However, he apologized on one visit that he had been drinking prior to coming to the job. He apologized saying he wasn't planning on coming to do this, but the GC had called him to come over.
We are discussing this with our GC to deal with this as well.
He did admit to my husband since then that when the market went south he could not afford to keep his licenses and insurance up to date. If this is the kind of persont that will work at a minimum with out a license, what kind of integrity does he have to do a good job.Just beware! read more
