By the way the person he found for me came from Cicero and on his day off! Pretty nice.
The worse contracting experience ever! Tim came and looked at the job promptly -- it all went downhill after that. It took a month to get an estimate -- we called several times and got no response; finally we had to go to Tim's office in person to get it. Tim ordered the window glass and again we didn't hear from him. For another month and a half we called, left messages and got no response -- again we had to go to Tim's office to find that the glass had arrived and get him to schedule the installation.
Two men came to do the job - one smelly strongly of alcohol. When we asked then how to explain how they would do the job, they said they weren't sure. We called Tim who defended them, saying they did know what they doing and just were not articulate. He claimed the guy smelling of alcohol had had a hard life but the smell couldn't be alcohol, just garlic. NOT!
They started the job -- saying it would take two hours -- it wound up taking seven! The window was installed immediately and they spent the rest of the time doing the capping. They didn't bring the right equipment - they needed something sturdy to hold the sheet metal cutter, instead they used one shaky plastic garage can and everything keep falling on our brick patio. We suggested they needed saw horses and they left and spent another 45 minutes going to get them.
When they finally finished the capping, they caulked around the joints. Another disaster -- it was so messy, looked like it was done by a two year old! Plus they didn't use a drop cloth and smeared caulk everywhere -- on the side of the house and it all over the bricks. We insisted they repair it and clean up their mess, but it still looks very unprofessional and our bricks will never be the same, white caulk doesn't come off easily.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from Tim's!
