Dan submitted a bid to replace a small section of damaged wood on the front deck of my condo. The condo was pending sale and time was of the essence. The deck is located over a carport and is covered by a waterproof membrane. Dan stated that he would have a roofer out with him to quote the repair or replacement of the membrane above the wood he was replacing. Dan did not follow through on getting a roofer out to repair or replace the membrane. Instead he cut the membrane open replaced an approximately 2 x 4 section with plywood and then left the job incomplete. When we called multiple times regarding the roofer he had stated would be out he then back tracked and stated "I am not going to retire off of your job." After needing to call other contractors to complete the job that Dan agreed to do I was told that Dan's work was sub-standard. Dan used interior nails on an exterior deck. I was told exterior screws were the proper fasteners. Dan's "work" ultimately had to be torn out and replaced. Dan's low rate of $35 per hour is not a bargain when all is said and done. Dan charged for a total of five (5) hours for this small incomplete project and ultimately cost me both additional time and money.
Description of Work: Deck repair. Job left incomplete. Dan did not follow through on his stated plan to involve a roofer in the repair process. Contractor's we engaged later described Dan's work as poor. Dan's "work" needed to be torn out to be completed properly.
