This turned out to be a difficult project because the faucets had been installed incorrectly, so there was a great deal of figuring necessary to get the job done. It was hot, but pro never complained or wavered and got the job done in a timely manner.

I will be suing Jose for $2680.00 and he can have this garbage back. The only time he showed up was when he "needed" more money. He milked the entire project from October 22, 2017 to December 10 2017. I interviewed two cabinet contractors Homeadvisor referred. One contractor wanted to totally replace my cabinets. The other contractor wanted to chop up my window sill to install the island cabinet I was moving to the kitchen corner to support the new cabinet; rather than under the window sill as requested. When I refused to have the installation be under the window sill. This contractor virtually had a meltdown and basically ran out the door while talking over his shoulder, "You don't need a cabinet maker you need a handyman.". I contacted Homeadvisor again, this time for a handyman. I had only called with a request for a handyman and within an hour Joseph showed up at my house and said he was given my name and address by Home Advisor wanting handyman. I was on my way to an appointment and we arranged to meet the following day. He showed up the next day as agreed. He listened to my plans for my kitchen. I described every detail I wanted and exactly what I didn't want. WANT: 1. Island bottom skirting was to be cut down to fit under the window sill. No cutting of the window sill. I was emphatic about that. He cut my window sill up and did not place it under the window sill. 2. Use maple wood that matched my other cabinets Match the design of the cabinets. He said he would, but delivered plain wood no design cabinets 3. Remove the desk, side cabinets and upper cabinet. (The only thing he did right.) Joseph agreed to everything without question. He took one of my drawers to match the design of my cabinets. After I paid for the materials he called stating he couldn't find the right router. I contacted Wood Crafters and they confirmed the matching router was no longer available, BUT, they found by using two router bits the design would come close to matching my cabinets. I was good with close. I passed this information to Joseph. He had already collected half of the contract money. I asked for his advice about recessing two cabinets deep in the kitchen wall. I left the room to allow him to start work. The next thing I heard was him sawing my wall. I was in shock, in addition he said he would make the recessed cabinets deep. I said, He delivered 6 deep cabinets and said, I can always cut them down. In December 2017 he informed me he had not started the cabinet and if there was any changes now was the time to tell him. I called him 20 minutes after he left to add two 10in drawers at the bottom of the cabinet. It took me multiple times calling over 3 days to talk to him. By this time I had paid him the full amount of $2,680.00 for nothing, but a hole in my kitchen wall. He delivered a plain unfinished cabinet that matched nothing. And the two drawers he added were not 10in deep, but 4 and 1/2in deep drawers, BUT for another $1,000

We trusted this contractor. He never shows up and doesn't call us. We've been trying to get our money back and we've just been getting a lot of excuses

very unsatisfied with Ken’s work and his behavior towards my husband and I!

Ken has a good price for his initial estimate, but continues to need more material or underestimates the project in his initial bid, resulting in having to pay much more for the work than originally discussed. There were many days he just was a no show or showed up very late in the day for an hour when he said he was going to be there in the morning.

Very friendly and knowledgable

I wish I had read the 1 star ratings in here before hiring Ken. My experience (except the temper part) was almost exactly as they describe. He quoted a low price up front, kept adding things without my approval, didn't tell me until he had already purchased a more expensive doorbell that the store somehow wouldn't take back the less expensive one I had previously purchased (so I ended up paying for both), claimed he was giving me things "for free" then added a few hundred dollars to an $850 job at the end for things that should have been in his original estimate. Perhaps the worst of all, I asked him to fill a mud hole in my lawn next to my driveway. He dug it out and filled it in with mud and gravel, then added a smaller packed gravel to the top. After this was finished and packed down solid, he proceeded to inform me - oh by the way, I covered up one of your sprinkler heads (!) I should have taken him to task for this and the extra charges , but I really just wanted him out of my house and to be done with him. He took way too long, never showed up on time, and spread out his visits over the span of almost 3 weeks to do what should have taken 2 days at most. Would never hire again - I'm not even sure I will use HomeAdvisor again after this experience. Be warned.

Ken did a good job on several projects he did for me. He put insulation in the attic as well as other small tasks.

On time. Friendly, Knows his business. Stays on the job. Plan to use him on another job

I like the fact that when he got lost trying to find my home he immediately called me and got on the right track. I love the fact that when he came to my house he got done in a very timely manner, my dog loved him, and he was just very nice. I will be using him again in the very near future.

utilized Ken for building and improved storage unit with multiple drawers. Ken did an excellent job with the project. Great attention to detail

I had Ken hang lights, replace fans, frame mirrors, repair drywall and a host of other things. He did each with equal skill and care. I recommend him; if I need any work done in the future, he's the one I'll call.

completed work in a timely manner. great value for the money

Ken was very reasonable. He installed interior and exterior doors. I would use him again.

No comment.

Tread Designs helped us with multiple projects to include wall removal, removal or popcorn ceilings and hardwood floor stair install.

Ken was super quick to reach out to us and came the next day to give us a quote, and we set up an appointment to do the work as well. His price was fair and Ken did a GREAT job on rebuilding our stairs from our house to the garage. I would highly recommend Ken and his company!!

Ken was awesome. He bid the work at a reasonable price and he completed it immediately with a high quality. The only drawback is that is has been hard to get ahold of him - I need additional project work done as have others I have referred but I (and the ones that I have referred) have been unable to reach him. With the work he does he should expect to be busy- perhaps worthy of looking into a part time admin?!

Ken showed up on time and gave us a reasonable price to tear out our powder bath fixtures. Then, to my surprise, he started and completed the project immediately! Best experience I've ever had with a contractor. I am recommending Ken to all my friends and family!
