TWO GUYS CONSTRUCTION INC

The owner of the company did the majority of the work and coworker did the painting. Overall Fred was a very nice person and seemed to be honest and had integrity. I wont say that he is a bad contractor trying to rip people off because he is not but he needs to take some steps back and get his business in order, in my opinion. There was no contracted signed only verbal agreement and the 2 year warranty that is on his web site. His estimate was quick and the price seemed the most fair out of all 6 that I had. I paid half up front and the rest when the work was completed. He said that he takes credit cards but we had to set up his phone to be able to accept them.....not my job. I was happy to help but it occurred to me that I shouldnt have to do that. 2 of his painters didnt show up on him so I offered to help paint a very small portion of the deck with him. I had no problem doing that. The co worker was supposed to clean up the paint supplies and never did. I did. In regard to my living room ceiling being sheet rocked, He did it and it looked okay but it took FOR EVER. He would show up late, around 2, after telling me he would be there at "the same time" which was around 10. 2 separate occasions no one ever showed up even when I was told someone would. I had to buy and match a quart of paint to fix the trim that his painter had screwed up. The older painter even broke my guitar string and said he would replace them but was no where to be found when Fred tried to call. The paint in my living room is okay, some on my ceiling. The ceiling however, cracked after 3 weeks, a good 6 feet. I sent a picture to him and got no response. I texted about my toilet leaking and was told that the wax seal settled and I need to tighten the bolts. Then I asked again about the ceiling and once again, nothing. It is still cracked and not fixed. I noticed this after he came and fixed a very small part of my bathroom..... Oh the bathroom....My master bath is awful. I picked out the tile which he got as requested. He completed the work which took for ever. I even let him have my house alone for 5 days while I went out of town and he said it would be finished when I returned. It was not finished. Him and is step son came the next night and finished it and left at 930 at night. At that point, in the dark it looked okay. Not in the light. The tile is very sharp on the edges and not laid evenly and looks very crooked and unlevel in many spots. The grout cracked in between almost all of the floor tile, along the bottom of the tub and shower. There is grout on my walls and piled in the corners. There is calk smeared on my walls, mismatching base boards with nail holes all over and not flush with the floor and there is calk in between the wall and floor board because it was cut too short. One tile even pops every time I step on it. Grout was coming up in chunks along the tub and edge of door. I called him and he finally came out with 5 people and took some of the grout up around the tub and caulked the edges. He caulked the edges around the tub and shower. He also "fixed" ONE of the tiny cracks in the grout and now the grout is mismatched and looks dirty and wet. I communicated very bluntly that I was not happy with the job and it was sloppy. His reply was that his bathroom looks similar too. Oh, the paint is awful. Spots are not painted on my wall and the trim is completely messed up and very obvious. He admitted that! One spot was not painted under the vanity and I said that I would take care of that. When he fixed the small part of my bathroom he left saying that he would come back to paint. He said that he wanted me to pick up a quart of paint so he could come back and fix it. Fred did not get a hold of me for two weeks so I contacted him. He said he would set up a time to come on a tuesday and that was the last time I heard from him. All I want is a nice bathroom and a good ceiling. He also told me that he underestimated the square footage of my bathroom and that the price was $1000 short and that it was his mistake. I would not recommend him as his scheduling is not reliable and his tile work is sloppy to say the lest. It has taken me a while to write this review but I cant stew on it anymore. I am NOT happy with the job but I dont want to hurt him as a person. All of this was known to him. It was all communicated. I have received estimates on the cost of the repair. I want my bathroom touched up to my standard and my ceiling fixed. That is all.

I paid him upfront for his services. He never purchased my floors, counter tops, cabinetry, despite having money from me for over a month. He did not honor his contract with me, he was constantly changing things about the job to charge me more money. He put things on the contract that were not accurate, as an example he reused all of my trim but charged me over $4000 dollars for new trim. He also left my job for 2 weeks to do a painting job for another client. I ended up firing him, I told him he could be paid for his current services, but I needed the rest of the money back. He asked if he could come back to finish the painting and drywall. He had to postpone the services for a couple of days. I ended up contacting him a few days later. He responded the next day saying he'd be there in the morning. He came in and started repairing the drywall in our basement. He was going to take 3 days, one day for each level to finish the drywall and painting work. I made sure that he was going to refund me the unused money on Friday. He said we'd talk about it later. When I pressed him about that he told me I'd have to sign a document releasing him from responsibility. I told him I'd look at it, but he would be responsible for the work he had done. On Thursday he did not show up. I texted him asking where he was, he said he wasn't feeling well and may be by in the evening. That evening he did not show up and was unresponsive. I went to the courthouse to see what I could do on Friday. I went to the wrong court but they recommended I go home, get my documents and call the police to start a report. When I got home, he was there. I went down to the basement to inspect his previous work and found that there were still bubbles and damage to the drywall. I showed it to him and he assured me he would fix it. I questioned him about what he had been doing when he'd been there and his step son interrupted and was very confrontational. The step son told me that they could walk off the job and I'd have to take them to court. I went outside and called the police. The police gave me information to take them to court. The service provider went to pack up their things. I asked to make sure they weren't going to finish the job, he actually told me they would finish. He texted me after leaving saying that he wasn't gong to do any more work or communicate with me any longer.

Two Guys recently replaced the ceiling and crown moulding in my living room. I couldn't be happier with the result. It was not an easy task as I own an older home and the ceiling was quite uneven. Now that the work has been completed, you would never know that it was uneven. We worked with Fred, who was quick to respond, gave us a fair price, and completed the work with obvious experience. Thanks Fred for doing such a wonderful job on our ceiling!
