DO NOT HIRE PATRICK REED/PRO ELITE HANDYMAN SERVICES!!! I have more to come on this very detailed situation, but I saw him posting this morning and I want to save someone else from destroying their home and wasting their money! We bought a BRAND NEW HOME... paid him $9000 up front... he only did $4000 worth of work before throwing a temper tantrum and thank God he did... because he didn't have a chance to destroy anything else. HE IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL AND HIRES PEOPLE OFF THE STREET! When we returned home, we found cigarette butts all over our garage (inside) and yard. He also had a half smoked cigarette butt on a wooden crate that was forgotten about!!! Major fire hazard! They had been using saws inside of our garage so we had saw dust and drywall dust EVERYWHERE, ALL OVER OUR BELONGINGS!!! We are in the process of a move so many things were indoor belongings, bedding, family photos etc... They also did not vacuum out the drywall as they worked so our house is full of drywall dust EVERYWHERE and will have to pay to have everything cleaned and vents professionally cleaned. We now are having to pay another contractor thousands to get the home back to what it was. He refuses to itemize jobs... he refuses to refund our $5,000 of which he did not do any work for. (He says because we signed a contract which we did not) I told him he could even keep the $4,000 for destroying our home and just refund us the $5,000 and get out of our lives. He refuses. He argues that our opinion of what 'looks good' is different than his opinion and he 'doesn't think it looks that bad'. They ate upstairs and we had food crumbs everywhere in the laundry room. We had him add some pvc trim outside and there was no bevel/angle cut... very poor craftsmanship. This guy is not a professional at all!! The walls are bubbled out, he has no idea what he's doing!!! To think he was going to do $26,000 worth of work for us... makes me sick to my stomach to think of the damage he would have caused!! I don't like to badmouth people but this guy is a piece of work!! Please DO NOT RUIN YOUR HOME!! BEWARE!! Do your own research and look him up! I've had multiple people reach out to me telling me that he scammed them in the past and very sad situations like ours. We are now getting a lawsuit together against him. Wish I could post photos here of the damage he caused. read more
