It is all great if:
- you don't mind CONSTANT smoking
- you don't mind a person with a record being in your home
- you don't mind long absences (sometimes weeks)
- you don't mind short work hours
- you don't mind your job being left in limbo while he goes to do something he deems more profitable
- you don't mind listening to his music (loudly)
- you don't mind him being in or around your home shirtless
- you don't mind listening to him complain
- you don't mind him totally in your business
First, the positive. If you have a small project (hang a TV on a wall) this service provider may be ok. But be sure your project can be finished in one day and BEWARE the comments below.
Big Negatives: Seven months after starting the project Mr. Parker walked off the job, unfinished. I had to hire other painters to finish the work and to re-do some of the work because of the horrible quality. See photo of paint job on front door below. It bubbled and peeled. Mr. Parker saw the bubbled paint every time he showed up to work for weeks and weeks, and never corrected it. Just walked off the job.
I had to spend hundreds of dollars to have the paint removed and a new paintjob put on the door.
Mr. Parker is very unprofessional. He will walk inside your home, without warning or invitation, {when his work for that day is outdoors).
READ THIS: Perhaps most disturbing is the fact that Mr. Parker found an old tag for our dog, with our old address on it. He used GOOGLE Maps or GOOGLE Earth to look up the old address and reviewed an aerial view of the property (and street view) and then asked us questions about the property! This is both unprofessional and creepy. Reading a dog's old tag, and looking up the prior residence. Seriously?
Also be advised that Mr. Parker considers one or more large condominium complexes to be his bread and butter, so if they call with a bunch of TVs to hang or light fixtures or fans to replace he will do that work preferentially to whatever you may have hired him to do. As far as I know, Mr. Parker does not have an electrical license, so I wonder if a commercial (for rent) condominium complex manager should be hiring Mr. Parker to do electrical work. Seems to me if there was ever an electrical shock or fire, the condominium manager would have big legal problems for using a person without an electrical license to do the work. This assumes Mr. Parker does not have an electrical license, which I believe to be true.
Mr. Parker made no effort to make the work right, he did not finish the job, and the last draw he took on the job was partially for materials, but he returned the materials and kept the cash (as he walked off the job).
By next week the other painters I have hired to finish the job and correct the shoddy work, will be done. At that point I will know the extent of my damages. I will be seeking those damages from Mr. Parker.
I am also aware that Mr. Parker likes to respond to negative posts about him on Angie's List (one of the many things he liked to and quot;chatand quot; about when he should have been working). I will be more than happy to respond to any such retort from Mr. Parker.
In a nutshell: Not recommended, unless you want a TV hung on the wall and then be very careful.
"[member name removed] was a pleasure to work for. [member name removed] knew what she wanted ahead of her 3 bedroom condo renovation. She had tile, paint, airstone, appliances, light fixtures, ceiling fans purchased. I accompanied her to purchase cabinets with the correct measurements , to install. I picked up water heater, and dishwasher and installed them.She trusted me to receive her major appliances, and furniture as she lives out of state. She also asked me to hold her keys in case she needed me to help her with any thing else. Again, she was a pleasure to work for."
