Troumbly Contracting, LLC
02-12-18
To whom it may concern:
I should have read all the reviews on this company from consumers rather than trust Home Advisors!! In fact, this review is of Troumbly and Home Advisors....CONSUMERS BEWARE!!! Troumbly Contracting LLC has a "license #" listed on the Home Advisor's website. Red Flag #1: Troumbly was late for our scheduled appointment- which he blamed on Home Advisor's not relaying the message to him. Home Advisor's stated that Troumbly was the one who set the time/date. Red Flag #2: I asked Troumbly if he had a MN Contractor's License, what is contractor's 's LICENSE number was to verify it online with the MN Dept. of Commerce, and if he had liability insurance. Troumbly stated "Yes I have a MN License. I can't remember the number. And yes I have liability insurance. I just gave the information to Home Advisor's." LIES! Red Flag #3: I called the MN State Licensing Department to make sure I was looking up the name of this business correctly. Yes- I was. Troumbly is not LICENSED. He is REGISTERED. His COMPANY is not REGISTERED. He is REGISTERED as an individual. The MN Licensing department stated he has his paperwork done incorrectly and needs to register as an LLC to do business as he is doing. Furthermore, she stated that a contractor needs to be LICENSED if they are providing contracting services in more than one construction area- which she noted by reviews on Home Advisors' website that he was!! RED Flag #4: Troumbly NEVER did email, text, or call with any quote or information after he left my house. My theory -- he knows he is falsely advertising his services and had nothing but more lies to tell. Red Flag #5: A gentleman called about a week later stating he was from Home Advisors' and asking me how my meeting with Troumbly went. I told him everything outlined above. Guess what? He hung up. I called the number back and it was a regular voicemail - stating an individual's name not Home Advisors'. Home Advisors' has no one working for them by that name. In the interest of allowing that person to change his ways-- I suggest you not do favors for your friend and check up on his potential customers to see if they believed his bed of lies. Yep- you guessed it.
