He showed up at 10, he worked until 12, and then he said he needed money to buy materials, then he said he would be back the following morning at seven, so I said **you can go get materials and come right back, it is only 12 o clock** and he said **oh no it is too far what s wrong do you want me to work till dark?** So I paid him for two hours of work and let him go. For at least half an hour he was on the phone, and my house is 20 minutes from a very famous home appliance store. If you want more details, I will be happy to supply them!

"Before I started work for miss f I told her I get 50% down and the rest upon completion she did not want to pay, so we agreed to do one project at a time first horse training circle $500 through packed ground I dug 56 foot trench 1 1/2' x1 1/2' to replace broken wood from dirt packed agents I was never on phone other than music and the H D was only allowing 6 people at a time in store due to vireos. The time I showed up was agreed upon and the time worked was 3 hr from exp i new time at H/D would be just as long I tried to explain 45 minutes to store 11/2 hr getting in store time back set up cords saws compressor we would be pressing."

He started working on my house a year ago to replace the roof, While he was here he said he could paint my house, and it took a year to get everything done, and it's still not done. He replaced my front porch. I had him install indoor outdoor carpet on the porch, he said he found the carpet for .65 cents a foot, I went on the internet, and I found the carpet for .45 cents, and I told him about it. I gave him the money 1,500 a month to pay for all of the projects. This included everything. He did the porch all he had to do is the stoop, then he said that he can't do it, and I had to finish it. After I paid the contractor he said that he did not have the money for the materials to complete the all of the repairs. He would tell me that he would show up, and would not come until a month later.
Response from Carpenter Rob Young

"the original agreement was 5000$ for the roof to be torn off and replaced and 5000$ for the exterior of the house itself to be scraped and painted. he was not able to pay me in full so i allowed him to pay me in payments of 1500$ a month. i told him that with 1500$ a month our crew be able to work for 3 days out of every month so that i can work on other paying projects in between. as far as the porch and stoop go, we threw in the work for 150$ since we were doing all the work on the rest of his house, that includes tear off, designing and building custom hand rails, leveling, and carpeting, he chose the cheapest carpet and we had a hard time getting the carpet to stick on old concrete, we told him putting the carpet on the stoop would not work because it would be a tripping hazard and we cannot insure that. he then told us that he would finish it himself with rubber cement."

Buyer beware this service provider. The price was reasonable, he was friendly at first, asked for half up front (red flag). He attempted to make the garage door agree with the new trim he installed, but the door would not go all the way down for two weeks; he said it should settle. When he was called back to fix the garage door and plug a 3 inch hole he left in the trim he said he could not find a piece of board short enough so he left it open; mice got behind the trim so he caulked the hole!! He fixed the garage door by sliding it back 3/4 inch. For the next few weeks we had to close the garage door from inside while holding the track in place, as the track was no longer stable and kept turning, making the sensors not meet. He was asked to come again and fix it but he did not bother to show at the time he promised so we called him, then he was late. He said a screw fell out and he didn't think it was needed so he left it out. When he finally arrived he put the screw back in and it was fixed. I do not recommend his services, as he seemed to do more damage than repair. You get what you pay for.

He's caring,on time ..very hard worker and doesn't waste time, and if another problem arises while working that he finds he fixes it for you but asks you first. I have lots more projects I am calling him for I'm just making my list.

Not very professional.Braggs more than he can deliver. Does not really have a system for his work. Requires money up-front prior to completion of the job.
Response from Carpenter Rob Young

"As I have done for 32 year we receive a down and the rest upon completion Mr. M. to purchase all materials and he did not put any effort into that left it all in the air and flue back to and he failed to purchase the correct material even with list we made together in Mr M s absence his real estate agent made inspection and we received final payment."

We bought a home 3 years ago with repairs being needed and hired this company to do some carpenter work and exterior painting , I was stupid enough to pay this guy before the job was finished , he said they would be back to finish the job and left a bunch of their stuff in the front yard , after a month went by the homeowners association told me I needed to get the stuff out of the front yard , so I called him and he said they would be back out asap so they came out and grabbed their stuff and left a bunch of scrap all through the yard , I still run across stuff in the yard that they left behind, they did not finish painting my front door and did ever fix the side of the house where I had a tree cut off the house , also I worked out to have my deck stained because he didn't have to cut into the house for the tree which was in the original bid , and left my deck untreated and now I am having to pressure wash it and stain it myself , I called him 3 different times to come finish it up and still no show after 2 years , I WOULDN'T HIRE THEM TO PICK UP DOG CRAP , because they probably couldn't even do that right.

Rob Young is a contractor/carpenter, he does home remodel, installs granite counter tops and does all kinds of home repair. He replaced some rotted wood across the front of my house. Did an awesome job. He also repaired my gate and repaired a carpet seam. He is licensed and insured and very reasonable with his prices. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Young did a great job of repair/replacing the broken pipe joint that was causing a lot of water leaking in my yard near the water meter. He arrived on time, explained and showed me what needed to be done, and completed the job within the quoted price. I was very pleased and will be hiring him again.

Installed base boards, reframed door, cleaned gutters and did some sealing around a solar panel on the roof. All work done professionally and at date and time agreed to. Would recommend.
