Ralph installed a fence and painted the eaves of my home. He did a very good job and I paid him very well so I called him back to do more work B U T ........HE HAS DISAPPOINTED ME THIS TIME TO THE POINT OF ANGER. He completed about 1/3 of the job (which he worked several hours - 3 or 4) and told me he would be back to complete the job the next day. He did return for a couple of hours then left with the check I had left for him for when he completed the job. The check was for $425.00 and he had in NO WAY COMPLETED that much work. He left most of the tasks unfinished and never returned AND DID NOT HAVE THE DECENCY TO EVEN CALL. I continuously called him for 3 weeks and he promised me each time he would return on the next day. After 3 weeks of chasing him down, he did return for about 45 minutes to compete 1 task. He left all the other task unfinished. In fact the security lights (from the first painting job he did) has never worked. Of 5 lights - 1 works. He installed a new doorbell which doesn't work, he installed a new key set on my front door and it is almost impossible to lock and unlock the deadbolt. I could go on but.. I have spent enough of my time dealing with this situation. I have asked for a refund of at least half of the $425.00 but I called him today and he thinks that is unfair. At this point, I have had to call an electrician to fix the doorbell and security lights. I had planned on several more jobs for him in the future (install sidewalk, build a patio) and he was aware of these jobs. I WILL NOT CALL HIM BACK FOR ANOTHER JOB AND I WILL NOT RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE. I THINK HE IS CAPABLE OF DOING GOOD WORK BUT HIS LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE CUSTOMER AND LACK OF AMBITION WILL NOT GET MY BUSINESS.

Did not clean up. Left paint cans and sand in my yard even after I called and asked for it to be removed. Not equipped and was unable to complete the job as asked. Did lower the price a bit, but there has been no follow-up.
