Last Call Handyman Services

It was an absolutely horrible experience with David. He lies and cheats his way through a project extracting as much money as he can and then questionably paying what he calls his "employees" who are really just inexperienced laborers from Craigslist. Once he learns he can no longer provide a reasonable finished service, he runs and takes your money, never to return a call again. For how much pain and agony this guy caused me, hopefully my review saves the next person from the same thing.

Handyman representatives arrived at 9:00 a.m. and left at 10:30 a.m. I paid 300.00 in advance to have a "handyman" remount a garden tub in a modular home, and install insulation and vapor barrier under the house. When I talked to the owner on the phone I told him that no pipes were needed, only a drain. The pictures that he requested CLEARLY show the pipes under the garden tub. I was told he would buy what he might need and return unused items. When the "handyman" showed up these are the complaints I have with them. Argued with home owner. Wouldn’t listen to home owner. Didn't bring the proper tools for the jobs. Didn’t know plumbing codes for modular home (pipes were up to code when he arrived). Cut support board for pipe instead of where he was supposed to cut frame. Cut pipe that did not need to be cut after being told 3 times not to touch the pipe. Didn’t know how to cut or glue pipes. The pipe was cut with a dremel and was not a smooth cut. The pipe was cut too close to use glue. The pipe being installed melted. Cost 410.00 to hire a plumber to fix the problem Tub is still not mounted. Kept insisting he was told he needed all pipes when he was told on the phone multiple times that we no pipes were needed Didn't have the proper tools to install installation. Insulation has gaps/holes. Whoever came out to do the job wanted me to pay them 200.00 above the 300.00 I’d already paid in advance. I’m not sure how he figured out this price. What materials were brought were not worth the original 300.00 As of Oct 31 I have not had any refund or payment of the 410.00 plumber bill from fixing what "the handyman" broke.
