See above description.
Description of Work: Paul Felkins was contracted to add a room onto our house. He quoted a price we agreed 2 but only gave us a handwritten signed contract at my insistence. After giving him his first portion for materials etc. it became immediately clear we had a problem when he arrived to start ripping off our roof 15 minutes before a huge storm was expected to hit. This resulted in damage to our home. Then when he tried to fix the damage, he brought his underage son to help instead of professional subcontractors and his son put a leg through our sunroom ceiling resulting in futher damage. He asked us to pay his subcontractors for him, showed up to do work only when I threatened to file official complaints and withheld further funds. He bounced checks, and tried on several occasions to cut corners and deceive the inspectors. In the end we were lucky to complete the project on our own just days before I gave birth to our last child, since we paid for the electrical install still not performed which was included in his estimate and contract. When I again threatened further action to recoup the funds, he wrote a check for part of the amount, which of course, bounced. A horrible experience. Do not hire this man.

This guy is a nightmare, do NOT go anywhere near him. He does not have a license, he will not finish the job and anythng he does will have to be fiixed by a real contractor. Not to metion that you will be ripped off for a large amount of money. He has many judgements against him, unfortunatley I didnt do my homework before we got ripped off to the tune of $40,000. The records of his past are at the local courthouse and are public record. Please do a check before you hire anyone to do anyy work, there are many contractors like him. He will not turn up he will not finish the job. He will tell you the baby is sick or that he doesnt have gas money blah blah.
Description of Work: He was supposed to finish our new home.

This has been a horror story.
Description of Work: Same story for us , sounds like a carbon copy. Our house should have been finished 2 months ago, we are 26,000 in the hole if it wasnt for the bank actually helping us we would have lost it, We will still be paying for his rip off the day we die. I made a call to the State Board and he hasnt had a license since 2009. PLEASE DO NOT let him come anywhere near your house. Also the work that was done is less than sub par, we now have to have many things redone. Whoever you are that posted April 30, I would love to have a private conversation with you.

Don't use this guy. This was the worst experience of our life and we've had some real wild experiences. He started the work in August, with the guarantee it would be done by Christmas. By the end of August he had gotten a check for $5,000 and he quit showing up. There was always an excuse - first other jobs he was finishing, then sick babies, angry wife, broken down truck. He was rarely on the job and his employees rarely had direction, materials they needed or paychecks. From the funds we gave him to pay subcontractors, he short paid the subs, and we ended up repaying so they would complete the work. Again, no Paul available to explain, just unhappy workers who wanted to get paid. By October, when Paul did come around, he never had money to buy materials or pay employees. We became his paymaster, putting our foot down when he began asking us to pay his employees for time they had spent at other jobs and asking to borrow $20 for gas - claiming his wife kept all his money and won't let him have any. Major items (like shower and bathroom vanity) that he ask us to have delivered by a certain date for installation ended up sitting for weeks and were broken before they could be installed. Near the end, Paul would show up at sunset, work a couple of minutes, and then ask for money, claiming he would be back "first thing in the morning." We've ended up using others to finish the project and to repair the work Felkins did. Now the end of April, we are still making repairs (this time to a leaking roof he installed and the damge the leaks created to the interior) Don't let this guy near your house.
Description of Work: We hired this guy to add an in-law suite to our existing home. Paul was initially very reponsive and displayed both a great deal of interest in our project and knowledge in how he would go about the work. However, once he got the first $5,000 the story changed. He bid the job at $24,000 (there was $15,000 in items we were buying and providing) and we're now at $41,500 and counting as we first had to finish the work he didn't complete and now repairing what work he did do.
