PACHECO GENERAL CARPENTRY

I sign a contract that approximately eight feet of sill plate would be remove and replaced. I told Kenneth Pacheco I could not get another contractor to return my calls. He was going to charge me $3,260.00 to remove eight feet of sill plate . Because his worker only removed four feet six inches of sill plate, I asked him to lower the price which he did by $240.00. I thought he should have lower the price more but he said , I sign the contract for $3,260.00. His worker cut the sill plate out with a sawzall reciprocating saw ,and bang it in and secure it with screws. The amount of work he did was not worth $3,020.00. He told me he would send his mason to my house to skim coat three foundation walls.I asked the worker when he came if he was a mason ,and he told me no. I let him do the work because I sign a contract with Kenneth Pacheco, other wise I would not have let him. His worker did a poor job on my foundation walls. His worker put the bonding agent over the new cement so I have poker dots on my foundation walls ,see photos. He was suppose to put two coats of cement on the foundation walls, he put one. His worker was suppose to sponge finish the walls which he did not. His worker was suppose to do the exterior section of the foundation at the walkway, he only did a quarter of it. I had Kenneth Pacheco come to my house after the work was done, and he did not see anything wrong with the job his worker did. He told me to paint the foundation walls. I paid him, but I wish I had not until he fixed all the problems. I learned my lesson you have to get at least three quotes. I would not recommend this contractor. He charged me $2,980.00 to skim coat two and a quarter foundation walls.

First off, the people are very polite and a pleasure to deal with; very professional and trustworthy. However, I think they have too much overhead and therefore are extremely over-priced (especially for small jobs). They did perform the work that was asked and cleaned up appropriately but, the finished product did not come out as well as I would expect for the price paid. After they were finished, I did have to go in and re-patch some areas of the wall and mantle. One of the pieces of trim they installed on the mantle was cracked as well....I will have fill it in with caulk or whatever before I paint it. Overall satisfied but, will probably look elsewhere for future projects.
