Ogden & Son Construction

I couldn't be more dissatisfied with Mike Ogden and the work he performed, or I should say didn't do on my home. It has been over a year since Mike was in my home, but I am now feeling more compelled to write this review. My parents suggested Mike to repair some small water damage on my living room ceiling. They had used his services before and were happy enough with the work he did. After trying to get a quote for over a month, he finally came over to my house. After 2 days of "my guys didn't come to work today", he finally comes over with a quote. $350.00 to skim some and paint a 3x3 section of sheetrock on a ceiling and find and repair the source of the leak. My husband and I moved the furniture twice (he told us he would charge us if his guys had to move it) because of his inability to show up to an appointment he scheduled. When the painter was finished, the ceiling is gray, not white. I understand that you usually have to paint an entire ceiling, but the painter didn't wait for the mud to dry, so the wet mud and white paint turns gray. The quote also included some work to the outside of the house to see if they could find the the reason for the "leak" in the first place. This work was never done. When Mike called to be paid, I asked when this part of the job would be done. He said no, it wasn't needed. I asked for the price to be adjusted since all the work on the quote was not done. He refused, and continued to harass me even after I left him a check as he requested. I was pregnant at the time and didn't feel like fighting with this man anymore. Now, a year later, my parents are in arbitration with Mike Ogden. He didn't complete the work on their house, the work he did complete was crappy, and he left a huge trash pile in their yard, which they had to pay someone else to come pick up. THEN, Mike Ogden has the nerve to use me as a good reference in the arbitration. He claimed he installed French doors in my house and that I was very pleased. I do not have any French doors in my house, nor am I pleased with any of the work he has done. This man is unprofessional, unethical, and unacceptable. I DO NOT recommend Mike Ogden.

1 2 3 4 5 STAR . Manning, Thanks for the good job again. Here’s a comment for you to share with others: This is the third time we have hired Ogden & Son. Twice (1996 & 2004) they painted our home and made minor carpentry repairs. In addition, in 2004 they re-roofed our home. This time we had some window sill work done, weather boards replaced, and gutters cleaned and as a bonus they pressure washed our home for free. Every experience we have had with Ogden & Son has been professional and only expert work has been done. Job site was spic and span at conclusion of the work as all trash and debris were removed promptly. We highly recommend this company if you are in need of home repair or for partial or complete painting. Bob Smith Uptown New Orleans
