Accure Contracting

When I hired him, they gave me a price of $5,000 to do my bathroom. We had a 15% senior discount, but I had to fight to get it even though he posted they were offering it. I told him what I wanted, which was two showers and they gave me a price. When we were signing the contract, they said it was going to cost extra because of some additional fixtures. Then he wanted to charge me extra to install the plumbing for the extra head. It was supposed to be done on a Wednesday, I gave them some extra days to get started to be fair. They said they were supposed to show up at 6:30 in the morning, but wouldn’t show up until mid afternoon. The shower wall joints don’t line up, the walls will likely have to be brought down and rebuilt. The garbage all went down the drains too. I threw him off of the job. It was a fair price, but I just couldn’t let him continue. We have tracks going across our new wood floors from the wheel barrel and his footprints. There are wheel barrels left inside the house with shovels in them, just inconsiderate. The owner told me he asked about the quality and he said that it was marginal or mediocre. To me, when you tell me that, that’s bad. He would come in, work an hour or so and then leave. The trouble is, I was in construction for 38 years so I know about it. The owner told me the contractor’s problem is that he thinks he knows more than he does. The owner is trying to help him do the work and learn, the kid is nice but he lies like a rug. We also have to repaint the walls and ceiling where he ruined it because of grout. We have painters, movers, and furniture delayed because of them, but I still had them come in and work around his mess.
