Couillard Drywall

I never ended up using him.  If he couldnt at least keep the appointment to discuss and bid on my job, how am I to expect that he would show up and follow through with the job.
Thank you,

as stated above, the job got done.overall it was a very unpleasant experience, one that will take me some time to forget

It was a very small job and Ron Couillard quoted us $350 for the job.  His work was good but he gave us another bill for $273 that he called extras, which was to move the washer and dryer out and then back inside after the job was done.  He charged us for screwing back the electrical boxes that had to be removed to drywall.  He said he had to put two coats of paint on the drywall and I think one always have to put two coats of paint on the drywall and he charged some more for that which I thought was ridiculous.  It was a whole list of ridiculous things that he did and he charged us extra for those, like cleaning up the mud off the floor when he was done.  The last day he decided to paint the inside of one window sill, that he never mentioned anything about and he also charged us to paint an area of about 12x18 inches, that he noticed in the bathroom, that he threw some skim coat on.  We didn’t ask him to do those, he didn’t tell us or ask us anything about it, and he just went ahead and did it.  I honestly think that he had mud on his thing that he had to get rid off so he threw it on the wall and he said he did that for us.  He came up with a list of things that was so expensive, that we had to pay for.  The original quote was $350 but he charged us $273 for stupid things like moving the appliances back in its original place and stuff like that, that I consider is part of the job.  He told us initially that it was a one-day job, but he ended up being here for five days.  He showed up 11.30 at one day when he was supposed to be here at 8.30, he showed up at noon the next day instead of 8.30, which was ridiculous.  After the job was done, he was saying that he spent more time here than he was supposed to.  My boyfriend wanted to pay him an extra $100 and wanted to get rid of him, so he did.  He paid him the extra $100, and that is it but he really didn’t need to pay him that.  Ron was very upset that he wasn’t given $273, he left and then he came back a couple of days ago and left a note on our car that he paid $23 for a 2x4 and that he will be back for that.  The total ended up being $450 and then he sent another bill for $23 and he was threatening to collect it from us.  I didn’t want him back so we gave him the $23.  The original price was good, but after everything was done, it was outrageous.  He actually did a good job though.  He responded right away whenever we contacted him.

He did some drywall work and painting. I was not satisfied with the work he did. I thought he was very unprofessional. He asked my wife to pay him in cash when I was not at home. The work was shoddy. I can see the seams in the drywall. He did not tape off when he painted so there is paint on the stairwell and barrister.

It could not have gone more smoothly. Ron arrived when he was scheduled and within a few hours, the holes were gone (sheet rocked and plastered). The next day, the work was sanded and we were ready to prime and paint. We will most certainly hire Ron again if we need work in this category.
