Anyway, after the work was completed, I continued to have leaking issues which of course then re-damaged the drywall and paint that was repaired. I called Martin to explain this and he reluctantly came out to "reseal" the house and repair the drywall. This happened about 2 times with each time becoming successively harder to reach Martin and schedule a repair time. I would have to call or text him several times before he would contact me I was surprised that he actually came back out at all. The last time I was able to reach Martin, he came out to look at a window that was persistently leaking and a door that was also leaking. He said he would fix the door, but not the window because it wasn't his problem and was the roof even though I had a brand new roof on the house ( I came to find out later that it was not the roof that was leaking, but a junction box under a light that Martin did not seal properly).
Finally, a year later I had a stucco specialist come out and take a look at the house because all of the original leaking problems have resurfaced. The stucco specialist told me that the house was not sealed properly and that an inferior sealant was used. I would have tried to contact Martin to redo his work, but I honestly don't think he is capable of the work he tried to do. Not to mention the fact that getting him to come would probably be harder than pulling teeth and I can't afford to wait months before he fixes things a I have new tenants moving into the home.
I'm sure Martin is capable of doing certain handyman tasks, but in this scenario I think he got in over his head and said he could competently do something that he wasn't capable of. I'm giving him a "D" instead of an "F" only for the fact that it he could have completely ignored my calls to fix his work - that's gotta be worth something I suppose.....
They did an excellent job and the job is still holding up perfectly today. They are reliable, prompt and flexible. If I have to change a schedule they are very reasonable about it. They do beautiful work and it looks wonderful. I am fairly picky so it is a pretty high standard that I hold them to.
