Get matched with top handymen in Landrum, SC

"at the beginning great very good sales men. once work started the problems began. the sun roof is not wood the roofers did not bring the material that goes under shingles. so they used the same material that they put on house roof. but only patched the sections that where damaged during shingle removal. luckily I work close by and come home for lunch almost every day. If i did not see it I would have never known the poor work that had been done. I complained about the work and was assured the my roof would not leak and was offered additional warranty. I agreed not to have the roof redone. a few days later it rained and I lifted the shingles at the edge of the roof and water was all over the paper. this really worried me. I complained again and got into an argument with representative. they did not want to replace the roof since I had agreed to leave it alone. I treated to file a complain with the BBB and the labor department on their license for improper work then my roof got replaced. the siding well they notified me the siding was complete when I got home there was an entire piece with a hole that was nor replace. Drake exteriors did not order all the material that was needed so subcontractor did not finish the job since he did not have all the material it took weeks for it to be properly done then I had water leaking in to the house wood frame. after a rain water would come out of the siding for hours. they did come back and fix the siding it was just a battle to get them to admit that the job was not done right. the gutters well they had to redo those to. again it was so arguing to get the work done. when the representative for Drake showed up and told the work was okay. I walked him over to my neighbors house and showed him the work that had been done on his house. He still thought his work was okay so I told him that if he felt that way I would agree to leave the gutters alone if he agreed to put the photos of the gutters on the company website as an example of the kind of work that they do. the gutters got replace a few days latter. be very careful of you have this guys do work for you. the problems did not end there it has been a headache dealing with this company."

"I signed a contract with this one man company for a 5 figure bathroom remodel on March 17, 2018. He promised it would be a two to four week job. He also told me he had established "crews" that were the best in the business. When the job finally started after two delays the first two sub contractors showed up and quit before starting because of a dispute they had with him over "money". When I contacted the subs and asked them to return they told me they would be happy to if I could work with them directly but that they would never work with him again. I knew I was in trouble at that point. When he found new subs off of craigslist or Facebook marketplace (not what we agreed to) they finally got most of the job done in about 2 months. But they installed the tile backer board incorrectly and the grout kept breaking up. They came back and took out tile and screwed in the backer board but he had ordered the wrong tile so it did not match the rest of the floor. He has now delivered the wrong tile three times. He will go weeks without returning phone calls and his voice mail box is always full. He will not respond to text messages. His main counter top fabricator has refused to do further work for him but they did do a great job for me. I have been trying to get my defective tile replaced for six months. He has promised time and again to come do it but always has an excuse. A month long custody battle had him "at court" every day causing one delay. Then he left for Disney World and promised to be here to fix it on the Monday he returned. Have not heard from him for two weeks after calling and texting every day. There has been excuses and broken promises for six months. This is a classic "dog ate my homework" situation. Someone else is always to blame. Subsequent to hiring him and during the course of the job he bragged to me and his subcontractors one day that he had a run in with some local policemen over a custody issue and he showed us the altercation on the internet. He is very proud of it. I have attached a link so you can view for yourself and form your own opinion. youtube.com/watch?v=8bHk… Personally, had I seen this before signing the contract, I would have never done so. Seeing this, I decided to see if he had anything else on the internet. I subsequently found this link. givesendgo.com/GFQM In this link he posts that he is homeless and living out of his car and is asking for donations to his business through this religious website. He is a one man operation operating out of his car and has no office. He asked for half of the contract amount up front. Had I known he had posted that he was living in his car I would have never done that. He will promise 24-7 service and will promise to be onsite for the job but that was not our experience. During the tile installation I had someone there for two days who did not speak English and when mistakes were made I had no way to communicate so it just had to be done over correctly the next day. He was also supposed to replace three table tops with the left over material from my counter tops as I purchased an entire sheet. He later told me his fabricator mistakenly threw it away. I contacted the fabricator who told me that was not the case. I used this fabricator for counter tops before and know them to be honest and reliable. You will seen in another review he did the same thing to another customer and blamed the same fabricator. I told Travis I would not post negative reviews if he would just complete the job as promised. It's almost 8 months later and I still have an uncompleted job with faulty workmanship that has to be redone. He is nowhere to be found. I just hope this helps others make an informed decision."
