On the positive side, Tim is a skilled craftsman and the stone work on our home came out looking great.
The negatives were two. First, he typically worked partial days, skipped some work days altogether, and several times took a complete week off.
Second, and most disturbing, was the fact that he bid the project at under $7000, but suddenly tried to demand a total of over $10,000 the day the work was finally completed!
So the downgrade in his rating is due to his poor business practices and lack of communication. If you get a bid, ask all types of questions to make sure you and he are thinking along the same lines and there will be NO surprises upon completion. Then continue to ask questions regarding costs and payment through the project. Do NOT assume what he bids is what he will charge in the end! read more
