I wasn't sure why he didn't continue the work for the day until he stated, "I am going to take this piece of trim with me so I can practice, I cut this piece to short". That was my first hint that he was over his head. I paid $35.00 for that one piece of trim and I decided I wasn't going to let him put up the trim when he came back.
A week later the glass shelves were being placed back into the medicine cabinet, when it started to fall out of the wall. It turned out that it was only being held in by one screw that was placed on an angle. The other three screws were not screwed into the framing, only into dry wall. Todd had to have known that there was a problem or he wouldn't have put the 4th screw in on an angle. I had to pull out the cabinet and install myself.
The storm door came in, I notified him it was in. I spoke to him about the medicine cabinet falling out, the incorrectly cut trim and that I didn't wish him to put the trim on, he agreed about the trim and apoligized about the cabinet. I expected him to come back and at least install the storm door and I would pay him for those hours. He set-up a date to come and called prior, to say he couldn't show, set-up a second date and did the same. The third date he just never showed and could not get him to respond to my calls.
Turned out the 2nd strom door had to go back, because it was incorrectly sized. When the 3rd door came in and was installed by Lowe's, it was exactly the same size door that was shipped the 1st time and attemped install by Todd. There was nothing wrong with the door, he just didn't cut the framing and was installing it on the outside of the house and not in the doorway.
All that time and money wasted. Since than, I've only been able to contact him by email. I proposed that he return just $60.00 of my $200.00. $20.00 over paid and $20.00 just for the sake of him getting out of my hair. He did write back to say he didn't have the money, but he would not forget us and would return the $60.00. Well I've sent more emails and have gotten no reply. In January, I will proceed to take him to small claims court for all my money.
Overall: Todd was a pleasure to work, asked alot of questions, but again this particular job I felt was outside of his comfort zone.
Price was very reasonable. He was clear about what he planned on doing and took care to make sure the work was done to my satisfaction.
The clean up afterwards was thorough; nothing was left behind.
He told me that he stood behind his work for four years. (I, of course, can't - and hope not to - test that at the moment.)
