If I could give zero stars, I would. He never showed up on time....never....as in he said he'd arrive about 9 and would show up at 1 or so and once not at all (w/o even a phone call, text, etc). I could live with that, but as time went on (over a few days) his work became sloppy...over $800 worth. By these two things alone you would think I would have held my ground, but I didn't, I was suckered...he bid by the job and the last day I saw him he said he needed money to get to his aunt's funeral in Cleveland (before finishing), could he be paid so he could attend the funeral. I mentioned all of the things that were not yet completed, he said he would come back and do them. He just needed the money to get to the funeral but he would ""never"" leave things looking like they were. Well, its been over three weeks and I have not seen him. In addition, the window boxes he made me fell apart within days of having them, before I even put anything in them, because he used short nails so the wood didn't hold together (even empty). This whole experience was a total disaster. And did I mention I offered for him to bring his kids while he worked here so he could save money on childcare costs (which he took me up on) and he still screwed me? I could go on and on. STAY AWAY.
