ALPHA & OMEGA

cont... I had to hire 2 separate plumbers to fix one of the faucets Joaquin installed, and I still have problems with the other 2 faucets. Joaquin installed shelving for bar glasses. He did a poor job and the shelves (with my bar glasses) came crashing down 3 days later. Joaquin put deep scratches in my hardwood floors. He said it could be fixed by hand sanding and reapplying the stain. Joaquin used the old stain and got stain all over the shoe moulding and doors when he applied it. The job was very sloppy- there are swirl marks all over the floor. He told me to file with his insurance company- The insurance company could not honor the claim because his insurance expired. Then we made arrangements for him to pay a floor specialist to make the repairs. It has taken 2 1/2 months to agree upon these terms. Now he will not return my calls or pay the $1500 needed to make the repairs. I'm taking him to small claims court, reporting him to the BBB and Angie's List.
