Review We hired Donald to remodel our bathroom for an in-law suite. This involved installing a glass shower, vanity, shower bench, a linen closet, and painting the adjacent bedroom. The job was abandoned after 3 weeks, although the deadline he promised us was 2 weeks (we would have accepted a month). As soon as 2/3rds of payment was collected for what he claimed was 2/3rds of the work, the job was abandoned (tools and supplies untouched). We were forced to chase him for responses. It was one excuse after the other (hurt knee, family emergency, “sidetracked/overwhelmed.” After the fourth no-show, we decided to terminate our business relationship. His team is comprised of his family members. From this experience, we learned the importance of incorporating a deadline into a contract. It is important to note that he told us he also works for SEARS installations. Donald knew that our parents were relying on the work to be done by the end of September in order to move in, but now we have to find someone else to finish the job.

Wise General Contractors should be out of business soon. You can't run a business the way this lying ignoramus runs his and be successful. DO NOT HIRE!
Description of Work: We were looking for someone to build a deck out back. We had an appt. for an estimate on Thurs. after work and he never showed up and never called. When I called him he said he did not have his paperwork with our phone number. That's crap... he had our phone number in his phone! We agreed to try again for today, Friday at 4:30. My husband left work early in order to be here in time, and again, this guy did not show up and again, he did not call. I would never hire someone so totally unreliable. He is a liar and ignorant and completely undependable. I really do not think anyone should trust work on their home to this guy!

We felt he did an excellent job and his estimate was fair and accurate. A matter of fact, when Don arrived to work on the back bedrom, he realized the job did not require as much as he estimated and he adjusted the cost down to a fair price. For us this was good and meant he was an honest man. He arrived on time, his entire team were professional and cleaned up at the end of each day. His team took three days to complete the work. Like with any contractor you are watching and protecting your investments. What I did notice was that they got along well, knew what their jobs were and did it well. It was a pleasure having them in our home.
Description of Work: Don repaired the 2nd floor rear bedrm ceiling, which water damage required replacement of a 5x6 section. He sheet-rocked, spackled, taped and primed the repair. For the middle room (which is 10x13) he removed and replaced the ceiling, taped, spackled and primed the installation. We also had crown molding installed. He expanded the exisiting closet and installed folding door. To complete the job, Don also relocated the light fixture and electical outlet.
