jobs went well

We had a small flood at our house in Jan of 2016. We decided to take a bad situation and to do a complete gut and remodel. It was an overwhelming job, and we had several contractors bail -- either before getting started or after causing property damage. Doug came in to bail us out in the middle of the process after a really tough run in with difficult contractors, property damage and structural engineering issues. His bid was for roughly $26K, including quartzite countertops at $6,250. I put 35% down on the job and the agreement was that Doug would bill me every week for services rendered. I immediately started getting very big bills for him for work that wasn't completed. I tried to talk to him once about being overbilled, and he went on a tangent about how my deposit was being applied. Several weeks in to this job, I started asking to pick out the countertop slabs, but they were not available. Again, I got a huge bill from him and he asked me to put an additional 15% down on the countertop. I agreed, but I said that I had been overbilled yet again. I firmly told him that I needed to know the total of the job, so we could reconcile. I advised that once we had reached the total, I was done paying. So, we went to see the countertop, and it had been misrepresented. It was dolomite, which I don't want. Doug was inflexible. He refused to help me find a new slab or a new vendor. This misrepresentation also set us back 4-6 weeks at minimum. He refunded my 15% deposit on the countertop, but that is it. Once I did the math to back the $6,250 countertop off of the total bid and added in the things we had agreed to add, I discovered that I had been overbilled for the job completed by approx $1,425. Coincidentally, my last charge was $1,475. I gave him two weeks lead to reconcile his billing before I disputed the charge. I needed them money to pay for my new countertops with a new vendor. He didn't respond, so I went through with the dispute. Now, I have paid for this job in full. It is nowhere near done and Doug is nowhere to be found. I got one text from him saying that his guy wouldn't be here because they couldn't afford paint. (Um, what?) He owes me electrical, paint, backsplash, plumbing, and appliance install. According to my best math, these jobs are paid in full and have been for weeks. Also, I am getting ready to be out of the country until Christmas. I was firm that this needed to be done before I left. I'm very upset that I have to leave my husband and four kids at home in this situation. My invitation is for Doug to reach out, so we can reconcile like I have been asking to for weeks. I don't want my money back. I just want the job done as promised immediately and no later than. Here is the last email I sent to him before I disputed the credit card charge to bring down the overpayment, Hi Doug, I took a few minutes to reconcile as best as I could… I am considering the following changes to your original invoice, (amt was $25,894.00.) Counters - $-6,273.00 Vent Range - $-394 (If you remember, I said we didn't want to do it if it was really $694. You said it would be closer to $300.) Soffit removal - $900 New total - $20,127.00. According to my records, I have overpaid you by $1,408.00 and there is still a significant amount of work to be done. Please verify your records, so we can reconcile. I need any additional funds I've overpaid by in order to pay for my countertops. Lisette

More than a week has elapsed with no response from handyman Doug Welch after multiple phone calls, texts, and emails to Mr. Welch. Delay is not the issue. Complete lack of response is unacceptable and would advise seeking another company for work. Next step is hiring an attorney since we cannot even hire another person if we do not have hinges.

The handyman canceled first scheduled appt. then showed up 2 hours late for the second appt. then when he showed up to do the job, he had to leave half way through to run to Home Depot to get supplies he didn't have. Finally, once the spakle dried, it was cracked so we have to call them to come back.

Doug arrived and helped me out so much with drywall patching. We will be using him again for our other needs. He was perfectly prices, so nice, honest and full of knowledge. So happy he could help us out.

<p>Doug, the owner, came out to do my work yesterday.  He was informative, helpful, knowledgeable, and precise in his work.  He took a few minutes to read any directions to make sure that the job was completed quickly and correctly.    I am already planning other tasks for them to complete when I hire them again.  They are busy because they do good work, so call them with the intention of planning a week or so out.  I highly recommend them; great experience.  </p>

Initial planning and discussion of the project was great.  Getting the job scheduled was a little delayed but once the job started everything was done promptly.  The pantry turned out great and will definitely use this service again.

I was very pleased.  They were very responsive.  A handyman (Zach) came out right away and hung the blinds, fixed the doors.  Then the owner Doug came and diagnosed my condensation problem and figured out what to do.  Zach came back and opened the wall /insulated the duct, and then closed the holes required.  Zach put on the first coat of mud and the follow up visit was from the drywall specialist Luis.  He made two visits, one to complete the mudding (beautiful work) and a final visit to sand.  Everyone was prompt and professional.  I would use this company again.  The price was fair I thought, especially for the number of things I had done. <br />

Doug performed the work himself and was very professional and courteous.  He looked at a couple the issues that were present and concluded that other remedies were necessary.  Overall, fine job. <br />

<p>This was a big deal purchase. The guy who did the work, Luis, did a great job. He was a good guy to work with. I can't say the same for the other guy, but the actual working guy was good. I think he did two four-hour days.   </p>
