"I signed a contract with this one man company for a 5 figure bathroom remodel on March 17, 2018. He promised it would be a two to four week job. He also told me he had established "crews" that were the best in the business. When the job finally started after two delays the first two sub contractors showed up and quit before starting because of a dispute they had with him over "money". When I contacted the subs and asked them to return they told me they would be happy to if I could work with them directly but that they would never work with him again. I knew I was in trouble at that point. When he found new subs off of craigslist or Facebook marketplace (not what we agreed to) they finally got most of the job done in about 2 months. But they installed the tile backer board incorrectly and the grout kept breaking up. They came back and took out tile and screwed in the backer board but he had ordered the wrong tile so it did not match the rest of the floor. He has now delivered the wrong tile three times. He will go weeks without returning phone calls and his voice mail box is always full. He will not respond to text messages. His main counter top fabricator has refused to do further work for him but they did do a great job for me. I have been trying to get my defective tile replaced for six months. He has promised time and again to come do it but always has an excuse. A month long custody battle had him "at court" every day causing one delay. Then he left for Disney World and promised to be here to fix it on the Monday he returned. Have not heard from him for two weeks after calling and texting every day. There has been excuses and broken promises for six months. This is a classic "dog ate my homework" situation. Someone else is always to blame. Subsequent to hiring him and during the course of the job he bragged to me and his subcontractors one day that he had a run in with some local policemen over a custody issue and he showed us the altercation on the internet. He is very proud of it. I have attached a link so you can view for yourself and form your own opinion. youtube.com/watch?v=8bHk… Personally, had I seen this before signing the contract, I would have never done so. Seeing this, I decided to see if he had anything else on the internet. I subsequently found this link. givesendgo.com/GFQM In this link he posts that he is homeless and living out of his car and is asking for donations to his business through this religious website. He is a one man operation operating out of his car and has no office. He asked for half of the contract amount up front. Had I known he had posted that he was living in his car I would have never done that. He will promise 24-7 service and will promise to be onsite for the job but that was not our experience. During the tile installation I had someone there for two days who did not speak English and when mistakes were made I had no way to communicate so it just had to be done over correctly the next day. He was also supposed to replace three table tops with the left over material from my counter tops as I purchased an entire sheet. He later told me his fabricator mistakenly threw it away. I contacted the fabricator who told me that was not the case. I used this fabricator for counter tops before and know them to be honest and reliable. You will seen in another review he did the same thing to another customer and blamed the same fabricator. I told Travis I would not post negative reviews if he would just complete the job as promised. It's almost 8 months later and I still have an uncompleted job with faulty workmanship that has to be redone. He is nowhere to be found. I just hope this helps others make an informed decision."

Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can refinish cabinets without wax or orange oil. The refinishing product will work regardless of wax and oil coats, but it might not shine as much. Adding a coat of penetrating oil will bring out the grain in the wood, and the wax will help prevent wear. Also, the protective qualities of wax and oil for hardwood make it a good idea to incorporate into the restoration process.

For a smooth and long-lasting finish, opt for an 100 percent acrylic, semi gloss latex self-leveling paint. There are many brands and types of paint to choose from, so do research before deciding which one is best for your project. Some paints even have qualities that might save you time. For example, some paints have primer so you can skip priming separately and start painting right away. 

If you want to spray paint your cabinets without sanding, you have a few options to rough up the kitchen cabinet surface before priming. First, you can try using mineral spirits and a rough sponge on the cabinet surface to give it some grit for the primer. The second option is to use liquid sandpaper on the cabinet surface so it deglosses the finish and will be ready for primer.

Occasional cleaning with non-abrasive cloths, avoiding excessive moisture, and refinishing touch-ups prolong cabinet life and visual appeal magnified over usage.

If you spill wood refinishing oil, wipe up the liquid quickly without spreading the stain and then use soap and water or a stain remover to get rid of the spot. Since the product is oil based, using a detergent like dish soap or a thinner like mineral spirits will help take out the stain. You may need to repeat this process multiple times to remove the stain.
