"We scheduled an appointment for an estimate with Justin LeBlanc, from Adam Contracting LLC for Saturday, May 9th at 7:30AM. We woke up early in order to meet with Justin. Justin never showed, never called and never emailed us letting us know that he couldn't make it. I emailed him later in the morning asking him why he missed our appointment. I received an email the following day from him apologizing for missing the appointment. He said he had a family emergency and we could reschedule. A courtesy email that takes 30 seconds to write stating that he couldn't make it would have been appreciated. In my eyes, no call and no email to let me know he couldn't make it demonstrated that he didn't have much respect for my time considering I arranged my weekend to meet with him that morning. I understand situations arise but I find it incredibly rude to not let the other person know that you can't make it.
We rescheduled with Justin for 8AM the following Saturday. Justin arrived on time and we showed him the two projects we wanted to have completed. Justin said he would have an estimate to us by Monday or Tuesday. I received an estimate from him on Monday. The first project was a small ground level 69 sq ft deck. Justin quoted the estimate for this project to be $3,725 for supplies and labor! We went to Lowes ourselves and bought all of the wood, concrete, AND tools for $243!. Over $3,400 in labor is a lot to me for such a small project.
The second estimate was to replace 6 hollow core slab interior doors (Doors only, not the frame), 8 bi-fold closet doors, and the front door. The estimate for this project only included labor since we are ordering all of the doors ourselves. The estimate for the labor for this project came back at $3,825. I emailed him stating this I believed this estimate was extremely high. He stated the cost of the front door to install was $575, which is reasonable to me given the complexity of the install. That means he is charging $3,250 in labor only for interior doors and closet doors. This translates to a labor cost of $232 per door.
He said the best he could do would be to take 10% off for being an Angie's List member... I asked him to redo the estimate if we took all of the old doors off ourselves and we stained the deck ourselves. He came back with an estimate of $6,400 for both projects. I thought this was still incredibly high for how small these projects were. I told him we would not be moving forward with this estimate.
It was a very disappointing experience and we were hoping we would be able to use this company for other projects in our home.
