Jr Morris Home Improvement

John Morris took measurements and a down payment. He never came back to do any work. When I call I receive a message telling me "the person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time". Please remove this business from your website. I'm out $190.00.

I hired Mr. Morris 10-1-2019 to stain fence and repair a screen door. He kept saying he would be here on certain date then not showing up due to personal issues. Finally finished screen door on 12-10-2019 and power washed the fence. He promised me to finish staining before Christmas. I noticed a part of roof was leaking water. Since he was there, I paid $50 to fix it. I called him the following week and told him the roof was still leaking. He said he was going to take a look. That was the last time I was able to get hold of him. After holidays, I left voice mail twice then his number doesn't accept phone calls any more. I had to find someone else to stain my fence before it got ruined during rainy cold winter season. I paid $1200 for just fence upfront per his request. I need refund for the job he hadn't done and $50 for the roof that he hadn't done right. I am sure he knows it but he is not responding. I have reasons not recommend to use this company. 1) He charges people upfront but not doing job on time or not doing job at all. If you do research online, you would know this is not only time he does this. 2) He claims he has 40 year experience but he had to do trial and error several times to figure out how to install screen door and the lock. He stripped fence and left many slash marks on the fence. In addition, the roof is still leaking water. It is not professional and experienced handyman should have done. 3)It is not necessary to strip the fence. It is deceptive. The fence is only 5 year old. Other than color on two doors were fading, it was still in good shape. Unfortunately I knew this after he stopped taking my phone call. I realized something really went wrong. He is not the person I should trust. Since I had to find someone else finishing the fence stain, I got several companies to look at it. They all said I could just stain the doors rather than spending money to redo the whole fence. Anyway, if you could find other companies, go for it. Don't use this one.

OK this was the most inadequate man I have ever allowed do
any work on my home. He was either too lazy, arrogant or proud to ask if
something was correct or not. He almost ruined the $900 coil on the second day.
He and his side kick said that they were going to have to take the coil back
down stairs and take out the insides and turn them upside down, something I
could see wouldn?t have worked if they had tried to. Oh and it was only going
to cost me $200. I knew better, because of not only where I purchased my equipment
but the other 6 sites that sell goodman units to the public have the same coil
and furnace together. So I took it upon myself to call Goodman Tech Support and
ask them to explain how this coil was to be installed with this furnace horizontally
with air blowing upflow right. Both units were able to be used in a variety of
positions and because of this there were a few inside changes that needed to be
changed however, I read the manual from start to finish, obviously unlike Mr.
Morris. It should not have taken him more than 2 -4 hours to get all the inside
changes done and everything connected correctly but he said he basically had to
take the whole thing apart and put it back together. (This really Scares ME) I
have no clue what he has done to those units. I found a new Honeywell circuit
board with a $60 receipt that I have no idea what he thought or planned on
doing with it.
 
As for the coding part this is far from code. MLGW has
already turned us off. There are at least 5 major issues.
1.      
The flex line is illegally place per MLGW. It is
only suppose to be no more than 18 inches at most. It must connect outside of
the furnace and not to the pipe inside. He needed to add on to that pipe so it
could connect to the outside using only . (I mean hes has a plastic line inside
a hot furnace!!! If that thing melts gas will build up inside the until and
KABOOM there goes the roof of my house and possibly many other structures as
well,
2.      
We had discussed the power supply and the fact
it was fastened under very close to the drain pain. I am no expert but since
1861 NEC has mandated that all electrical outlets must be at least six feet
from a water source and it may have to be GFCI protected. Ill have to look that
one up. However, right now it is just dangling under the safety pan.
3.      
Speaking of the safety pan, He purchased a pan
$40 not large enough for the furnace and coil to sit in. I could have bought
one from the tech store for $15 . Or I could have had a salvage yard make me
one for $24. He said he was going to do it, I assumed that is what he was doing
for the next 7 days. But he used the same pan with no changes. I hope this
thing is not going to be totally redone but since he didn?t do any of the recommendations
I asked him to (I had a large particle board I wanted to lay under the safety
pan and then use cinder blocks instead of 4 regular size bricks to lay the furnace
and coil on. This would have also made his working on the piping much easier.
4.      
Speaking of the piping This was a big catastrophe.
From the start I explained that this was a 95% unit (it sweats a lot) and it
requires a secondary drain pipe from the secondary  coil valve and drain pan  to a ?sterile outside source? where we could easily
see it. This is because if the primary valve from the coil that is attached to
the pipes from the furnace become clogged, we as homeowners can see it before
it leaks down into the walls and ceilings. Something my homeowner just had to
pay almost $50,000 to clean up from my old unit getting clogged so often. To
date he has 3 pipes all attached together, I have no idea where it is draining
to either. One of his guys said that there is a leak under my house. Since
before him I had the crawl space covered with plastic and check 3 times for
leaks , due to a sink leak about 3 months ago,( I have been keeping a close eye
on it to make sure that didn?t start leaking again) I truly believe this is
something he has done.  Either way this
is not to code, and could potentially cause more fugi and bactiera growth under
the house.
5.      
Then there is the venting. I paid $100 for a
concentric venting kit. This makes it very easy to remove the deadly CO while
bringing in fresh out door air into the inlet of the furnance. Because these
units sweat so much it cuts down on that, it 
keeps the inside of the furnace cleaner and prolongs its life(instead of
bringing in air from the dirty , fugi, bacteria , dusty attic). He didn?t use
the kit at all. Stated that the attic was open so I didn?t need the fresh air
inlet,, CODE OR NOT I wanted it!! He went out and spent llike $100 on PVCP
piping  rather then have me buy a $10 45
degree angle piece. Again this was in the second week and I did not see him for
4 days so it would have been here in 2. It was as if he did most all the work
on a rush job in 1 day on a Friday where he was here from 10 am until like 8
pm.
6.      
Last but not least I ordered a special filter
for my unit. It took about 4 days to get here. It was about 74 degrees or lower
at night so waiting was not a problem for me. However, he built a place for a
filter to fit and was suppose  to put on
a door. There is no door along with all the other things.
Ok so the day he gave me the quote I agreed and paid him
$600, I specifically told him that Code told me not to pay him anything until
they came out. So we have all these things not done correct and he comes to me
for the remainder of his money.  Oh and a
bonus he tries to tell me he spent almost $500 for extra materials.  I was wanting to hold out $800  but he just threw a fit. 
 
I knew then that this was the type of guy that well does a
half a** job or maybe even a good job, until hes about 8 ? 10 hours from fixing
everything correct. He wants yopu to pay him even though hes not done (plus he
acts like he bought all this extra stuff ) These receipts could no way in h***
be all mine. He had 2 other similar jobs that his guru crew was doing so he was
trying to double or triple dip. But I refused to pay him anything for the
materials I had never authorized. Plus I should not paid him anything until everything
was done but My husband didn?t know the whole story and was also yelling at me
to pay him. I held out $300 from what I was suppose to pay. I have not heard
from him again.
 
Do not hire this guy for anything until you get his
insurance info and checked it out. I am hoping this will be the only thing that
saves us, if he really has it.  Do not
hire him and give him free reign to buy anything needed, I was lucky I had that
in my contract (however he never left a contract with me). So make sure you get
it or at least write on the check what is going on.
 
Oh and one of his guru employees kicked my dog, I almost
took him in for x-rays but decided to wait a few days. It was swollen but he wasn?t
limping is the only reason I waited.
 
He was no means the cheapest but he wasn?t the most
expensive. If he would have not been so arrogant
