I had a very unfortunate experience with this business. Among the several chores I ask to be done were painting, weeding and mulching and re-laying three large stones in a stone walkway. I accepted a quote for the whole job with no hours stated. The young man who did the work had never done stone work at all. Predictable the results were very bad on the first attempt and marginal on the second. Bob refused to have the work redone saying that was the"" best that can be done"". That meant accepting improperly aligned stones and a metal retainer that is improperly anchored and stands half an inch above the stones - just enough to trip someone and cut legs if fallen upon. When I mentioned that problem Bob said, ""Yes"". I now have to have the walkway redone properly by a skilled worker as it originally was done.
The second problem with Bob is his lack of integrity. When I mentioned that I would never have had his worker merely doing weeding had I know his hourly rate for that chore was $85-95 an hour he retorted that he was ""not obligated"" to tell me his hourly rates. Such a lack of professional integrity astounded me.
I would like to add that the young man who did the work did a good job at what he knew how to do. Unfortunately, Bob did not earn his 200% overhead fee on this job. I would not recommend him or his company.
