Hackbarth Drywall

The quality of the work was good. However, the job was way over quoted. We were given an estimate of $1,300 for the job. After the job was completed we totaled 8 hours of labor. When we sat down with Terry to review the bill he claimed that he had 17 hours of labor on our project. When confronted with actual evidence that the labor had only been 8 hours, we were informed that he had to pay his labor a minimum on 8 hours per job. Based on allowing $200 for materials we were being charged an astonishing $143/hour for the labor. When he itemized the labor, he indicated that he was charging us $50 for 17 hours of labor which included the drive time to our property and 2.5 hours of time to pick up the 5 pieces of sheet rock used in this project. Even with the 17 hours, he was unable to justify the expense and added a $300 overhead line which included his van, gas, insurance, accounting, cell phone, about 10 other things AND EVEN THE COST AND TIME ASSOCIATED WITH COMING TO PROVIDE A QUOTE. He refused to admit that he had way over estimated the job and that we should have been charged less. In addition, he refused to put the moldings that he had taken off the wall back on and left them leaning up against the wall in the corner.
