Widow's Helper

Hired Craig to do deck repair and deck painting. It was so incredibly bad that I had to stop him and fire him before he could do anymore damage. He literally cut deck board too short and cut another small piece and tried to fill it in. He used a reciprocating saw to cut off posts, they were jagged and not even flat and then he used deck boards which are rounded on the edges to build a ledge around the bench. Wha, What? round to square edge butted up together. unbelievable! He was supposed to level some stairs and he just propped a spare piece of wood under the wrong side and made it worse. Cut stairs planks too short and just left it that way. Oh, he used 2x6 deck planks for the ledge when he was supposed to use 2x8s and then just used a reciprocating saw to cut diagonally the post section that was supposed to be covered by the ledge and of course it was jagged and a butch job. I literally had to tear out everything he did and redo it. Avoid at all cost!! Paid him $500 to just leave

It went great! He was on time and did what he was supposed to do. He worked efficiently and I would recommend him to others.

Overall, he did a good job. It was a hard job, he had to take the cabinets off the wall and move them further up in order to install a microwave over a stove. He was on-time and arrived at the scheduled date. I would recommend him.

I called on Friday, and Craig agreed to come on Monday. I described the problem, and we agreed on a price. He called an hour before the appointment to tell me he was held up on another job and he would be half an hour late. That was OK with me. He called again to say he was on the way. He got to work immediately. He showed me the finished job, and it looked great.

Craig was on time and did a good job.  He is also scheduled to do other repairs for me around the home.

We were told it would take 3 days to complete the project. It actually took closer to 10 days. After which drywall was hung incorrectly and crooked. Nothing was sanded down. Used incorrect material to case the window. Door frame material was not cut or measured correctly. He attempted to (sloppily) glue wood door frame  pieces together (which clearly did not fit). We had to pay anther contracted to re-do the sloppy work that was done. I have never in my life ever written a negative review of anything. The work performed was poor and sloppy, I couldn't let anyone else waste their hard earned money on such poor work. I would NEVER recommend Widow's helper to anyone!

It went great. Craig was punctual and professional and got everything done right ans in a timely manner.
