After spending almost a full month on a 7-10 day project (his estimated time frame not mine) Rob was told his services would no longer be needed. After multiple attempts at getting projects finished even providing lists, sticky notes on all issues throughout the home and multiple conversations, he made excuses for his shoddy work. If I asked about why something was done a particular way, he would say my husband directed him to do it that way. If my husband asked him, he would blame me. If we both confronted him, he blamed his helper.
Weeks later and I am still cleaning paint splatters off of my wood floors and furniture. He ruined a pair of my husband's pants with paint and instead of being honest with us about it, he stole them, threw them out and claimed it was his helper that took them because his helper got paint on them. I am still cleaning up paint from the new trim work that he installed and all of my light fixtures from where he did horrible cut in work! I have new doors that are broken and were installed broken. I have nails sticking out of the new trim that he installed that he never countersunk. I have streaks in my ceiling where he tried to get away with a thin layer of paint instead of properly painting the ceiling with two coats or at least a coat of Kilz to cover any water spots from a previous roof leak. I have to hire someone to come in and clean up a patch job that he failed to do properly. I still have nail holes in my trim that I am having to fill and repaint myself. All of these items where things he was paid to do. Not to mention the 10+ hours of painting I did to help him catch up.
He also threatened that if my husband did not pay him the full amount he felt he was due, he would place a lien on our property. He knows that his work was shoddy but he also knew we were trying to sell our property and a lien would have prevented that.
I will be happy to provide photos to anyone that would like to see the "quality" of work that he does. read more
