RAY'S RENOVATIONS

THE QUALITY OF WORK WAS EXCEPTIONAL, HOWEVER, AS THE PROJECT WAS WINDING DOWN, HE ASKED IF WE COULD PAY HIM THE BALANCE OWED AND HE WOULD COME BACK IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK OR TWO TO WRAP THINGS UP. NORMALLY, I WOULD CONSIDER THAT AN ABSURD PROPOSITION, BUT BASED ON THE 3+ WEEKS HE HAD SPENT WORKING ON OUR KITCHEN, WE REALLY THOUGHT WE HAD COME TO KNOW HIM AND HIS CHARACTER QUITE WELL. AS SOON AS WE PAID HIM, POOF! HIS DEPENDABILITY WENT RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW. WE LEFT HIM NUMEROUS MESSAGES IN THE WEEKS THAT FOLLOWED WITH NO RESPONSE AND IN CASE YOU'RE THINKING WE WERE UNREASONABLE OR OVERLY DEMANDING, LET ME ASSURE THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. LONG STORY SHORT, WE NOW HAVE TO HIRE ANOTHER CONTRACTOR TO THE TUNE OF A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FINISH UP THINGS WHICH WERE CLEARLY IN THE ORIGINAL BID. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU NOT TO USE HIM, BUT DO EXERCISE CAUTION. WOULD NOT HIRE HIM AGAIN.

HAD ALL THIS WORK DONE OVER PERIOD OF 2 YRS AND AM VERY PLEASED. HIS HANDIWORK IS EXCELLENT AND PROFESSIONAL AND THE RESULTS STILL LOOK WONDERFUL. A TRUE PRO! HE HAS DONE MANY COMPLETE RENOVATIONS ON HIS OWN PROJECTS. HE IS HARDWORKING AND RELATIVELY FAST AND KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. HE AIMS TO PLEASE. HE IS A SKILLED PAINTER (PERSONAL EXPERIENCE), CARPENTER, PLUMBER, ELECTRICIAN, TILE INSTALLER. GIVE HIM A SHOT, YOU WON'T BE SORRY.
