Affordable Home Repairs-Sam Cannella Do not hire this contractor. His work is good but his personality is very unprofessional. He belittled me, made me feel stupid and incompetent, complained about everything, only worked 3-4 hours a day and overcharged. An example of his personality . His van leaks oil. He asked me to lay down cardboard in my driveway so his van did not leak oil on the driveway- which was thoughtful. However, one day I did not put the cardboard exactly right. He got of his van and hit his fist twice on the side of his van. It was not my responsibility as a customer to provide cardboard for the van. He should have brought the cardboard with him and put in the spot he wanted. He complained I did not have beverages on hand for him. Not my responsibility to provide beverage to contractors. Told me that he was using his tools to complete my projects. Every contractor I have hired has always provided their own tools. That is part of the job. Not sure why he even made the comment. He also told said and I quote Well knowing you, you do not care how things look. First of all that is not a comment you make to a customer. Second, I would not be trying to fixing up the house if I did not care how things looked. Sam is honest and supplied me with his tax number. He agreed to replace the ceiling fan he had installed (because it was wobbly) with a ceiling light. I told him I would pay for the light if he would install for free. When I l left a text message (because I wanted in writing) to state I had purchased the light and I wanted to confirm I was not going to be charged. Sam replied (actual statement) Why do you feel the need to remind me on things?? Do you think I just started yesterday? Being a single lady, I have used contractors for over 20 years and have never had a problem with one until Sam. My other contractors always treated me with respect; in fact, several of them have become friends. I am nervous about posting this review that Sam will vandalize the outside of my house. If I have any damage, he will be the first one I suspect.

Doors (Interior) Installation and Replacement
Worst experience ever with an Angi.com "Professional", highly-rated 4.2 star contractor; who, not only failed to install a new interior door, but caused excessive damage to the door frame, moulding, drywall and paint. Getting Angi.com to resolve this disaster is an ongoing nightmare.

Took longer than estimated. Complained about everything.
Response from

"The house was filthy! The bathroom was without a doubt one of the dirtiest I've ever seen. Wanted to throw up. Never properly prepared for my arrival. And they knew about it well in advance. That's why it took longer and therefore why the complaints. How could people live like this?"

Sam worked hard to make sure the project was completed properly. He always arrived on time/early and cleaned up each day. He was reasonably priced and his communication was excellent.

Sam provided a fabulous finished laundry room for us. He always cleaned up the area when he was done working for the day which we thought was great.
