CORNERSTONE BUILDERS

. History of Association with Michael: Approximately, 14 years ago Michael installed composite deck flooring; the workmanship and attention to detail as well as the pricing was satisfactory--except that after the job was complete, he said that he underestimated the cost and requested an additional $100. I was pleased with his performance and had no reason to question the additional charge. Through the years I needed some relatively small repairs  on a repeated basis and called upon Michael. Gradually, he was less conscientious about getting back to me and the quality of the work was not always well done. Nevertheless, I continued to call; as a senior citizen, it seemed too much trouble to find someone else .
 
As noted above, when the original request for the framing was made, I asked Michael to take care of some small jobs; e.g., painting the top rail of a deck and two deck stairs. He did so--in late November after heavy rains. Needless to say, the paint was peeling in the Spring. In reviewing this complaint, I recalled that on virtually every occasion when Michael did work for me over the years, he came up short on the estimate; that is, he said that the job cost more than he initially figured. Maybe this was a coincidence. I did not complain to him, because each time I believed what he told me. Fact is, only now have I realized there may be a pattern here.

Overcharged, decent work, painting, so so, cleaned up drywall dust not very well, had to leave early a few days to pick up children.

I never heard from him, and I tried calling to request a follow-up, but he still has not responded. I'm not sure why he would bother to come out to my house if he did not intend to follow up. The work in question was repairing a tile shower, ceiling water damage repair, and some painting, all of which the companies advertises it has capabilities in.
