Although this project was not a disaster, the quality of Philip's work was disappointing. The cabinetry (a very simple job with just two trimmed panels) looked like a 6th grade shop project. There is a crooked splice in the middle of EVERY span of molding - and no span is more than 3 feet long! I suspect he spliced extensively to make up for inability to miter properly. The damper and an additional cover on the Vent-a-Hood did not get installed. I found the cover in the packaging in my garage, but suspect he discarded the damper. (He also discarded all the manuals and installation guides). I ordered a replacement and he promised several times to come out and install it, never doing so. On the plus side, my job was rather small and it was not easy to find people to take on a $1200 project when they could be doing a $60,000 new kitchen in Los Altos. Hint: The best contractors take the $60,000 jobs and leave the small fiddly jobs for people like Philip.
Description of Work: Install Vent-a-Hood. Install new electrical circuit. Build cabinet. and install microwave. License #870784.

Response from PTS CONSTRUCTION LLC
To my surprise I found this posting from this member about a month ago a few years after the job. Last I remember I was waiting on some missing parts. As for the cabinet, I had no idea that she was unhappy with it and never communicated that fact with me. The reason for the molding being a bit crooked it because of the crooked, out of plumb brick wall behind it. Extra measures had to be taken to account for the out of plumb brick wall, otherwise there would have been a 3/4 to 1" gap in between the brick and molding. I offered to try to fix the problem in some other way to her satisfaction but this member had stated that she's, "over it" and has " moved on ". There also were also some problems and extras that came up that I had solved for no extra charge. Late one night the power went out due to a faulty breaker, when this member contacted me I immediately came and fixed the problem. Also there was a problem with a exposed power cord which I had concealed inside the brick mortar.
