We were terribly unhappy. He never finished the job then made up invoices for fake amounts such as hundreds of dollars to measure a door. He never returns calls, never shows up on time - if he shows up at all. He yells, he is difficult. The work is decent, not the best I have seen but it's OK. Thing is, he is the most difficult person I have ever encountered. When you remodel you don't want stress. He does noting but upset and agitate. Run, don't walk
Description of Work: Basic remodeling when we moved in. Painting, plaster, floors, electric.

Avoid! He is a smooth talker at first and you will think it is all going to work out. In the beginning the work was decent - not amazing but sufficient. He thinks he is some kind of artist and uses the word "sophisticated" a lot but it is unclear what is so sophisticated about what he does. He was extremely hard to work with. He would never, EVER answer his phone. It would take days to get him to return a call -- days and days. Emails would go unanswered sometimes forever. The excuses and excuses would flow by the ton. Everything is a shrieking drama with him and it's impossible to talk to him without him ranting and raving. He was late to EVERY SINGLE meeting we ever had, sometimes several hours. Often he would not show at all. He has all the characteristics of things that people say they cannot stand about contractors but with him, in our opinion, they are so bad they cannot be overlooked. In the end he never finished the job, kept our deposits and refused to return them, changed prices when we were backed into a corner. We still have at least 15+ things that are unfinished and he still has our money. I would never, ever, ever recommend him - even to an enemy. Run and don't look back.
Description of Work: He painted and did basic remodeling for a new Co-op
