Artisan Plumbing Heating & Contracting

"Hi My name is Chuck Cohen As the customer stated we replaced the soil stack When we were working up in the ceiling I noticed that the flooring under the tub had dropped arproximatky three inches.I explained to the owner what needed to be done and how much it coct. The owner decided to trade up some of the work we were going to do upstairs of the tile and downstairs on the dishwaser agreeing that the owner would set the fixtures, tile and dishwasher and we would redeck the damaged floor. After I left the job the owner approached my worker mike to see if he would the the work on the side that the owner had told me he was going to do. I only found out about this through the helper who was helping mike. Mike and the owner went behind my back and set up a seperate deal for the tile the joist work and the dishwaser hook up. Mikes helper told me this after the job was over . I fired my worker Mike for agreeing to do work on the side behind my back. It turned out that what ever deal the owner worked out with mike was never completed. They had wrote a report giving me a bad rating based on the work Mike was suppose to do behind my back. He also told me the so called engineer he got was his freind. When the owner had declined to do the structual work I had reccomended he get a certified engineer to look at the joistl He also wrote that are plumbing work was very good. He gave me the rest of the reveiw based on my opinion and price which he never hired me to do. The next point I will make is that it was the owner who approched Mike and Mike than did the wrong thing by takeing the work behind my back. I think that that is a very slimeball thing for the owner to do and for my worker Mike to do . Thank God that the helper was there when all of this occured other wise a may not have found out at all what happened. Mike had been with me for a llong time he was a in his 40s with a family I never suspected he would do something like this. After I had fired him I was told he had a personell problems witch caused him to use bad judgement. I usually do not fire some one without a sitdown and another chance but if a person steals of lies I fire them immeaditly. Basicallly the owner just did not want to pend the money to do the job properly. I did everthing I was contracted to do and did it in a timely manner and did a very good job which the owner admits in his complalint. I do not feel as though I should be rated on the work that he hired Mike to so behind my back. Keep in mind when the floor was redecked in the bad area the floor was still out three inches.The only way to get the floor nice is to fix the joist . 'we worked with in lthe owners wishes. Thank you for your time Please consider what I ask about the rating givin on work Mike did on his own Chiuck"
