RUN!! I hired this company to do a variety of projects on my home - fence/gate repair, popcorn removal and drywall ceilings, installation of vinyl plank flooring, butcher block countertops, trim, light fixtures and ceiling fans, blinds, kitchen sink/faucet, bathroom faucets, mirrors, toilets, dishwasher, painting and refacing kitchen cabinets. The owner, James Pitts, and his help left a HUGE mess inside and out - left behind mountains of debris in front of house, left drywall dust and specks covering nearly everything inside, tub filled with drywall remnants, left partially filled buckets of paint, wood and flooring scraps, various nails, screws, and brads littering my floors and patio, all of which took us literally weeks to clean up ourselves. Left paint droplets all over bathroom vanity top (but missed spots on walls), light fixture dangling from wires, no caulking around wet areas, baseboards, doors, threshold strips, outlet covers, and towel bars not replaced, dishwasher not secured with screws, trim pieces not fully stained and unlevel, etc., etc. James left nearly all projects unfinished or completed with substandard workmanship, despite promising over and over to finish or fix them. Most disappointing was the condition my "beautiful new kitchen" was left in -he installed mismatched countertops and left cabinets without doors, paint, and new hardware. Wasted many materials. Charged a gallon of $70 primer never to be seen again. To top it all off, James gave me a story about his truck motor blowing up and not being able to afford Christmas gifts for his kids - I begrudgingly agreed to give him an advance -of course after a few scattered text messages telling me he would be back to finish the work and clean up his mess and multiple excuses, he never showed up as promised (other than to pick up some tools left behind when I wasn't home). A few months later, floors are popping up in spots and fence coming apart. Just a total nightmare... I was really hoping that James would make things right, but instead he blocked me and obviously has no intentions of finishing the work or returning my money. Had to hire a new contractor to finish the work.
