Larry does good work. He does what he says he will do, and does it in a timely manner. He always gets back to me quickly. He is reliable and that important to me. The prices are reasonable.

WHEN I CALLED LARRY BACK ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT AROSE AFTER HE REMOVED MY EXISTING COUNTER TOPS, HE REFUSED TO RETURN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT AFTER HE DISCONNECTED THE PLUMBING AND REMOVED THE COUNTER TOPS, HE ALSO REMOVED SOME OF MY CABINET FILLER STRIPS AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN THE GRANITE COUNTER TOP INSTALLERS ARRIVED, THEY COULD NOT INSTALL THE COUNTER TOPS AND LEVEL THEM UNTIL THE CABINET FILLER STRIPS WERE REPLACED. NOW MY KITCHEN PLUMBING WAS DISCONNECTED, I HAD NO KITCHEN COUNTER TOPS AND COMPANY WAS COMING OVER IN 2 DAYS FOR CHRISTMAS! I CALLED LARRY TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM AND HE STATED THAT IF HE HAD TO COME BACK AGAIN, HE WOULD BE CHARGING ME 1/2 DAYS LABOR PLUS MATERIALS. WHEN I ASKED WHY IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG JUST TO REPLACE THE FILLER STRIPS (THAT HE HAD REMOVED!), HE THEN STATED HE CHANGED HIS MIND AND WOULD NOT FINISH THE JOB AT ALL! I LATER FOUND SOMEONE WHO RE-INSTALLED THE CABINET FILLER STRIPS FOR $100, BUT LARRY REALLY LET ME DOWN.
Response from BORKOWSKI HOME IMPROVEMENTS
"I was hired separate from all the work I had completed for you & paid in full for to remove your countertops prior to your 1/2" granite countertop install. This job was done & you paid me for it. In taking the old tops off there were buildup strips that came off with the Formica tops, these were left at your home for the top installers to refasten. There were also particleboard buildup strips around your sink that had severe water damage & were thrown in your garbage with your knowledge of all that had been done. Our dispute started when your top installers wouldn't or couldn't put the strips on. You contacted me & agreed you would pay me to do the install & I told you I could install the old & make new for $200 plus material. This is my half-day rate. You stated you thought I should be able to do this in about two hrs or less. I then again mentioned there was a half-day rate & unless you were willing to pay it I wouldn't do the install. Again you argued & at that time I stated, "I choose to no longer work for you or do any other work for you whatsoever." Your beef with me seems to be that you wouldn't agree to my pricing for the strip replacement not that I didn't finish the job. It was not my job to repair any damaged or missing buildup strips. My first contract did not include the removal of your old countertops & yet you have bunched it with the top removal. All your complaints should not of included this you chose not to pay my rate & I suggested you find someone else."
