The day of thanksgiving a few days after they "finished" the job, it started raining. Water started gushing in the house and all down the walls. My mother called their emergency line and they refused to come out because of the holiday, and said they would come out the next day. They never did and water was still coming in the house, so my mom had to call a repair service to come out to stop the water which was another claim to her insurance. Then daech and bauer wanted to be paid for the completion of their work and wouldn't pay for the emergency contractor that my mother had to pay to come out to fix the roof. they forced my mother to pay for the job and still to this day haven't reimbursed my mother or her insurance company for work they refused to repair.

When Tony and a couple of his workers came out to give us a quote, they looked at all the work that we wanted to be done, and quickly gave us a quote for about 3K less than another company had quoted us. It seemed like a great deal at the time, so we said ok. The work to be done was to smooth out the heavy texturing in the living room and dining room, skim a couple small hallways and a couple small walls in the kitchen, fill in three 10" holes from lights in the bedroom ceilings, fill in large holes from two bathroom cabinets, fill in holes from the bathroom lights, plaster over a small hole under the mailbox slot, and repair a damaged cove molding. I said that I would remove the small cabinets in the bathrooms, and remove the wallpaper paste that was in the bathrooms before they worked in there. We all agreed on everything and they left. Tony said that they would start the work in the living room the next day, so that night I removed the baseboards so that the new plaster could go all the way to the floor. When I came home that night I found out that all of the work was done that day, not only the living/dining room. At the time it was a pleasant surprise, until I noticed that they had plastered over the wallpaper paste in the bathrooms. When there were getting ready to leave it was later, and getting dark outside. Since so many lights were removed in so many rooms it was hard to see the issues with the work. They asked if there was anything else to be done, and since I didn't notice anything at the time, they left. The next day we started looking around the house, and started noticing several issues. The plaster in the living room was "pasted" onto the walls, so the electrical sockets are now sunk into the walls, not at the level they should be. The bottom edge was also very jagged, and there were sections that were so high that even after the baseboards would of been re-installed there would be 1" gaps in the plaster. In the hallways where the walls were skimmed the baseboards were never removed, and the plaster was covering them, so if they were ever removed it would crack the plaster and it would be uneven. The plaster over the mailbox hole and the cove molding was also cracked. I called Tony, and he sent a couple guys out that did all the work I pointed out to them. We were happy with the work at the time, but then again, it was dark outside again and we couldn't really see that well. About a week and a half later we were going to start painting all the walls. We saw that there were uneven spots in the plaster, random small holes all over the place, and spots of raised-up, excess plaster. We didn't want to deal with having any more workers in our house, so we spent about 30 man-hours sanding and scraping the walls to get the to the point we wanted. When we were getting ready to paint the cove molding, my wife saw that it didn't have a sand finish on it, like the rest of the molding did. When the cove molding was repaired for the second time, I was told that the finish comes from the paint, and not to worry about it. I didn't know any better, but my wife did, and she was the one who had pointed it out to me. I had gotten a few calls from Irish Construction over the previous week asking to put a review here on Angie's List. I didn't really want to, because I wasn't very satisfied with the final work, and we finished all the scraping and sanding ourselves. My wife had called so that someone could come out and put the finish on the molding, but the morning the work was supposed to be done, I received a call from the secretary saying that they would have to reschedule because Tony was caught up with another job. I called the day after that to find out when we could reschedule, and was told to call Tonys cell phone. When I called him about it, and he realized that he would be coming out to my house for the third time, he got upset. I told him that I wasn't happy with the work, but all I wanted was to get the sand finish on the molding and be done with it. When he asked me about why I hadn't put a review on here I told him it was because we had to put in so much work ourselves to finish the job, that he wouldn't like the review. He then began YELLING at me, saying that he has over twenty years of experience in construction, and that I didn't know what I was talking about. He also said that he gave me a great deal, so I should be happy that so much work was done. I then said that I didn't think that the quality of the work was worth the $5000 we paid. We went back and forth for about 5 minutes, until he ended by saying that he would be there in a few days to finish the work, and then he hung up on me. At this point I was very upset, so I tried calling him back several times. After the third or fourth time I left a message saying that I didn't want him in my house, and that I would get another company to finish what he started. I also told him that he would finally get the honest review he was looking for. After I had time to cool off I called him back. I'm guessing Tony listened to the message and knew that he didn't want an honest review online, because he said he would have a couple guys out to put the finish on. A couple days later, Tony called me and said that his "best two guys" were coming to work on the molding, for the third time. By the time I got home from work it was late, so I didn't even look at it until the next morning. What I saw that morning was terrible. The sand finish wasn't even the same texture as the rest of the molding, and there were 1/2" deep gouges in the molding and ceiling. I was furious, but waited until I had time to cool off to call, so that I wouldn't just start yelling. When I called I got a hold of the secretary, who said that Tony was gone for Thanksgiving until the 4th of December, but that she would pass my message along when he returned. I knew that we wouldn't be doing any work over the holiday either, so I said that was fine. On the third of December, I called to make sure that the message was passed along. I was told to call Tonys cell because he had returned the previous night, but because of my busy schedule, I just asked if he could call me back and leave a message on when someone would be out to fix the molding for the fourth time. Today, on the Forth of December, 2013, I received the following email: Tony would like me to tell you that it will cost $450.00 per day to come back to your house to do work that was not in your contract. Tony did the job $3,000 cheaper than your other bids. As it stands he made very little profit from this job. Thanks,Margaret I replied, saying that the cove molding was in the contract, and that we wanted someone to come out again because the work was done so poorly, but that we will be using another company to finish the work. To sum it all up, Irish Construction has been to our house three times to fix their work, and wants $450/day to come out for a fourth time fix what should of been done the second trip out. The prep work that was done all over the house was terrible. The cleaning that was done after the work was also terrible. I would only ever hire them to do work that doesn't need any prep, and that is impossible to mess up. Tony, the owner, has no professionalism. Even after all the calls and pictures I have emailed him about the work, he has only ever been to our house once, on the day he gave us the quote.

The had a great personality and they went above and beyond, to ensure they did a good job. They cleaned all of our rooms and they even got the graphite (from the door hinges) under the doors, out of the carpets. We have tried to remove the graphite stains ourselves, but we were never successful. Carpet Care Experts were the first and only cleaners to successfully get the stain out. We appreciated the care they took in cleaning the baseboards in each room, which is a service other carpet cleaners don't do.

Initially we were told the job was small enough and it probably would be done before Christmas. In the end it waited until after the holiday. This was OK. Justin, who delegates the local jobs came by and verified our shingle color and looked over the work order that needed to be done. (I had called to see where we were in the job line up).

"We had ABS window cleaning out to clean our windows. They were initially very responsive and kind. They came out at 3:30pm to do our entire house which I thought was interesting because I have had window cleaning before and it took them all day. I asked if they would do the windowsills and clean them up as well. They told me it would be extra and I said that would be fine. I asked when they initially called if they would bring a vacuum and they said “yes we do”. They got to the house and started cleaning. Within 30 min of them being there they were asking how we would be paying which I thought was weird as they just started and unprofessional at the bare minimum. They then cleaned for another 30 min and asked if it looked good. I took them to a window and asked if they could get these cobwebs out and he said “oh ya he’s gonna get them”. They left 10 min later asked if everything looked good. I didn’t think to go look as they said they would do it and I said yes which was my fault. They left and after looking around they never did the window as cobwebs were still in multiple windows and nothing had been vaccumed bc they had never brought a vacuum. I asked if they could come back by and they said they never heard me to do that window and was never shown, however were willing to come back. We scheduled for today at 3 pm for them to come back. They never showed up and never communicated. We had to call them and they made an excuse as to they were busy. We had an appt arranged and they said they then had to come tomorrow. All in all after 1 hour of cleaning and not ever getting anything cleaned to a 500 dollar standard they left cobwebs and dust in all my windowsills and streaks on the windows. 1 hour and 500 dollars for that and the unprofessional behavior is not worth your time or money. I have attached pictures for proof."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts
Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it’s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn’t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.
To hang Christmas lights outside without nails, consider using alternatives like adhesive hooks, gutter clips, or even hot glue. These options allow you to secure lights to various surfaces without causing damage to your roof or siding. Be sure to clean and prepare the surface before applying these alternatives for better adhesion.
An affordable Christmas light bulb testing and replacement tool can make the job easier. But you can most likely make all necessary repairs yourself using common toolbox items if you’d rather avoid purchasing another gadget.
There aren’t many alternative methods to hanging Christmas lights on fascia without using clips. But if you don’t have fascia clips to hang your Christmas lights, you can use clothespins in a pinch. To do this, hold the strand of lights in place and clip it in place with the clothespin. Using nails or staples is never a good idea, as they can damage your fascia.
Yes, you can try removing and replacing each individual light bulb one at a time until you find the problem bulb—just be prepared for it to take a while. The bulb tester is worth the investment if you don’t have a lot of extra time to spare or need to test several strands of lights.
