The first time I hired him was in 2009. I thought he did a good job, although he was a bit expensive. He seemed professional at the time so I hired him a few more times. And that's when things got bad.
The more and more I hired him, the worse and worse his behavior became: He cursed all the time using words like "fu**", "a**hole", and "motherfu****" and whatever else he could use. I actually had to ask him to stop cursing, to which he seemed to get offended and then kept right on cursing even more.
What does it say about a company when a paying customer actually has to ask him to stop cursing and then he doesn't? It shows how little they respect me as a person/ customer and how rude, vulgar, unprofessional and inappropriate they are.
Because of this behavior, I've stopped hiring this company.
Also the work he did for me in 2009 has fallen apart (it fell apart about 2-3 years after he did it) and I've had to hire and pay somebody else to fix Roval's work. So in the end, RoVal wasn't as great as I thought he was.
I definitely will not hire him again. (The last time I hired him, he told me he always gets "screwed" in the end-- but now I think he gets "screwed" because he gives such poor service to his clients and repeat customers.) I just don't get it. Why would he treat a paying customer (who's hired him repeatedly) in such a bad way? Of course, I'm not going to keep hiring someone if he is this disrespectful and rude and does poor work.
So I found another company instead.
UPDATE: got a message from this company implying that I was the problem. This is another red flag for me-- if someone behaves rudely, inappropriately, unprofessionally, and speaks in a vulgar manner and refuses to take any responsibility for his behavior and doesn't even apologize, (but instead blames a client for leaving a review), that is also a warning sign.
I'm not sure how he treats his other customers, but I wasn't very impressed by his demeanor towards me, especially by the end. Why should I pay for rudeness, vulgarity, and unprofessional behavior?
(On top of that I received a nasty message from a "Mary F." about my review. She's left a glowing 5-star review for this company (which has been filtered) and sent me a harassing message for being honest-- again, not a good sign.) read more
