+ -1 moreVery unprofessionally handled in every way!! This person was a "general contractor" I hired based on his "assumed" knowledge of the home building/remodeling industry. His background is certainly somewhat impressive but of course with every credential you have there are no guarantees that the "contractor" knows how to organize the project(s) at hand. He is a generally nice person and will give you the impression that he knows what he's talking about. He uses "contractors" that already have their busy schedules ongoing and tries to "squeeze you in" based on their availability to do the work instead of ensuring that they can dedicate themselves to a certain date/timeframe needed. He forgets the "details" in almost everything involved and had to be constantly reminded of the most important one's in order to complete each phase of the project(s). Typical standard "new home" building general contractor mentality. Example: Telling the contractor(s) what jobs to perform, then leaving the job site and never returning to check their work in case there was something missed for immediate correction. NONE of the "contractors" hired by him were "certified/licensed" in any way except for the plumber(s) who were very good and knew what they were doing. Every detail discussed with my general contractor seemed to take a back seat and were of no value (in my mind) to him. AGAIN, no checking of the work he hired out!!! I did ALL of the quality control checks and addressed them immediately to him. NOTHING was important to him at all. It was always the "pacification" factor to get the "stress" diverted. Basically only did enough to make it seem as if there were "other complications" in scheduling the ONLY contractors he insisted on using to perform the services required. I was basically overcharged even when it was specified that I would supply all materials and fixtures and he knew it. I also requested that he provide me with a "detailed list of charges" so I can see the justification of services pricing from the providers he hires. He said it was "impossible and unethical" for him to provide me with that information based on his "software program" he uses to come up with the "Scope of Work Statement" he gave me. I then asked why could he just give me a copy of each "invoice" provided by the contractors hired by him so I could do a comparison for justification of charges. He then AGAIN denied me that opportunity and stressed that it was UNETHICAL for him to do it based on his "software" program. I had stressed to him that how can "other" contracting companies provide me with a complete breakdown and all charges associated for the project but he couldn't due to "ethical behavior" according to him. All this was asked throughout the renovation process and finally stressed to him that the time line be adhered to as well. His excuses were based on the "holidays and other things that were of greater importance" than my AGREED renovations. The project was specified by him that it could take up to 6 weeks to complete due to inconvenient circumstances and holidays. It took a total of 12 weeks. He even has the nerve to ask me if he could take pictures for his portfolio. All of this knowing I just got back from Afghanistan too! I can only blame myself for the way this process was done and will never EVER go through it again. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND EVER USING THIS PERSON FOR ANY REASON!!! YOUR BETTER OFF BEING YOUR OWN GENERAL CONTRACTOR!!
