Mr Craftsman

I got 5 bids on my whole house renovation, Mr. Craftsman came in the most expensive. We chose Mr. Craftsman because of his convincing sales pitch. Mr. Craftsman exacts words were he was more expensive than everybody else, he does high-quality work and any little extras he won't charge for, he said he won't Nickle and Dime us. At the end of his sales pitch, he said he does not ask for money upfront. We chose him based on what he said. It turned out every chance he got to Nickle and Dime us he did, the only part of that conversation that was true was he did not ask for money upfront. Certain aspects of the renovation were subpar to mediocre at best. The attached pictures are of some of the shoddy work the painters and other "craftsmen" did. They neglected to wipe certain areas before they painted. In one picture they painted over dust particles, there are patches they repaired that they painted over without wiping clean. The painters also epoxied the garage floor, the attempt they made was absolutely atrocious, it had to be redone by someone else. In another picture, you can see the cement missing in spots under the floor tile by the door. The finishes to the Custom Built Bbq Island that they made are nonexistent. I had them install a new electric panel. Within the first couple of days of hiring them, I handed them a whole house surge protector to install and after the panel was put in I was told there was no room. The Panel they put in was too small for the size of the house. I had electrical breakers trip constantly so I hired an Electrician to redo the panel at an extra cost of $2280. The list of things goes on and on of what he did wrong and his arrogance was unbelievable The communication between us was absolutely terrible, he so arrogantly told us he does not have a degree in communication. I would never rehire or recommend Mr. Craftsman to anyone. I have hired many contractors over the years and this has been the worst experience ever. I got to know some of his subcontractor's first and last names from working on my house and from emails and phone calls. What disturbs me the most and I find it very unethical when he gives himself a FIVE STAR REVIEW and a couple of his subcontractors write 5 STAR REVIEWS on his google webpage. If I had known that at the beginning I would have never hired him.
