DON'S HOME IMPROVEMENT

Very mixed.  See above story.  Work is  professional, but must stay with him or assist him so he does the right work and uses the right paint.  I would have much more patience if his fees were lower, but he says he is worth $60 to $90 an hour when doing contracting. Since I had such mixed work, we decided to go by the hour instead of the job, WRONG DECISION.  

I wanted to finish off the basement, and replace flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. I may have mold issues.  He says it is OK and just put up moisture barrier and finish it off, I am not sure.  Mold people want $4K, bleaching it took me two hours, will do mold testing with a kit first and am having more estimates.

Due to dog urination in the livingroom (old and much loved dog and Mom starting with dementia) , the wall to wall rugs need to be replaced and probably the subflooring should be replaced to make sure it does not smell.  The one-day flooring places do not do this, so I was hoping he would.  I am not sure if he can, though if he has a  helper, maybe they could keep him on track.  iF YOU WANT TO LEARN AND WORK ALONG SIDE OF HIM AS HIS HELPER, he is a fine man and knowledgeable.  DO NOT HAVE HIM DO MULTIPLE THINGS ALONE, assign one task at a time.

I was outside doing the power washing of the front of the house and walkway, Don walked in the mud, tracked it in the house, and then when I pointed it out on the rug, realizing it was mud from outside, he told me it would clean up.  I also cleaned up after him in the bathroom, from sanding, (the vacuum was right outside the door) and from hanging the towel rack.  UGH!

THE COMPANY WAS EXCELLENT. THEY WERE HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL. THEY ARRIVED ON TIME AND COMPLETED THE PROJECT ON TIME. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO OTHERS.
