Originally the job was quoted at $1,800, but later it was changed to $2,000 because one of the doors was not standard sized. I accepted the new quote. In the beginning everything was done in a professional manner. Mr. Lee and his helper seemed to know their business. At the end of the day the doors were in but none of the finishing work was complete. Mr. Lee asked to be paid in full and said he would return and finish shortly when he was scheduled to do another job in the same area. Because he seemed to be professional to that point I paid him in full and in cash. Big mistake. He never came back. I spoke with him and with his partner several times by phone. He always said he'd be coming to finish the job soon. I'm writing this after waiting for over a year. He's never finished the job. He originally said my house would be easier to heat with the new doors and also wanted to install some windows. But now for the second winter the wind blows through the unfinished doors. The front door is hard to lock because the dead bolt no longer lines up with the hole. The thresholds on two doors are not the right kind and have left the edge of the linoleum exposed. The frame on one door has nails sticking out of it. In general, it seemed that the work was being done by some one who knew what he was doing. The problem was that he just didn't bother to finish the job. He advertised himself as "bonded and insured". If I hadn't paid him in advance there might have been no problem.
