Rose City Remodeling

Wow! Sounding off Harold b! Same as my experience. I was fortunate enough that he completed my project but if anything goes wrong or needs attention with my $75,000+ kitchen renovation I will be out of luck. His personality was so abrupt, rude and downright nasty at times (think Jekyll & Hyde) I will never speak to him again. He also over inflated charges on my project. I wouldn't recommend him either. He took the excitement out of a dreamed of 6+ year kitchen renovation project.

Steve Buck was hired to renovate my kitchen in Sept. 2016 based on a recommendation from a local tile supply company. He tore apart the kitchen and then one week later told me I was "too picky" and that "no contractor could ever make me happy" and wished me "best of luck in finding one that would" as he stormed out of the house taking all the materials and supplies with him that he had bought for my project----completely unprofessional behavior and total lack of customer service. He then had the nerve to invoice me for the cost of those same materials and supplies that he took---very unprofessional, not to mention unethical. I also found almost $1,000 in bogus, add-on charges on his invoice that he could not explain. I later discovered that Steve had hired an exterior house painter, who had no prior experience in staining kitchen cabinets (and which is a completely different skill set as Steve should have known), to stain my kitchen cabinets. Steve blatantly refused to have his subcontractor fix the problems with the cabinet stain and the issues with paint running behind the blue tape which Steve then proceeded to tell me was my fault because I had not "dusted and prepped the walls prior to them being taped off by his subcontractor". There is no reasoning with Steve Buck; he's always right and the client is always wrong and/or the one at fault. I find it quite interesting that with (supposedly) over 20 yrs. of experience as a contractor, Steve does not have a single good review posted by any of his prior clients anywhere on the internet.....I think that speaks volumes. This is one "rose" that does not smell so sweet-----homeowners beware of this con man and stay far away!!!!
