Customer Reviews
The worst experience I've ever had with workmen! I am sure he will show photos of my deck - paint covers a lot of problems! George lied about what he was going to do, when he would come and how long it would take. It took 2 months to refinish my deck - a week's job at most. They didn't come or answer emails, texts or phone calls for 2 weeks in the middle of the job. I thought he had quit! His son did most of the work. The wood was left rough, gouged and damaged. They left a mess every time they worked. They power washed the stripper off, leaving all the doors, windows and screens in the back covered with pieces of old paint. They poured the paintbrush washing water in my plants and left cigarette butts around. When I complained, he was nasty. I would NEVER use them again and do N
STAY AWAY! Save yourself some trouble. George and his son pretend to know plumbing but they don’t. What a scam. I hired them to install a gas water heater, a simple project that should take two hours max. Seven hours went by and they showed no sign of making any progress. They couldn’t even solder the copper pipes properly so water kept leaking. At this point it was very clear they had no idea what they were doing or had any experience, so we fired them. They were also very messy and yelled at each other as they became very frustrated. The next day I call Home Depot. They sent two plumbers who were very profesional and did the job in 1.5 hours. The Home Depot guys couldn’t believe what they saw. We learned that the pipes George and his son tried to install weren’t even up to code. Also
Called to obtain baseline info on replacing inside door. Asked 2 questions, did not get the answer ( Fritz said he was in a job and would send info later or in AM) I’m AM still no info. I txt him stating that, response “ too busy for the next week” My thought: does not want an informed consumer This informed consumer doesn’t want a terrible handyman- beware!
The electrician charged 275 for 10 minutes of work. Replaced one outlet that was burned.
Did a great job
