Superior Quality Painting, Remodeling & Renovation

Lorenzo West said that he knew how to build a shower pan for my remodeled bathroom. He did not build the shower pan correctly. It did not slope properly so water can drain. It was spilling out of the shower onto the bathroom floor- he told me to use a towel on floor to stop water from coming out. I tried to resolve this issue by asking him to provide his insurance information (which he didn't) so I can hire someone else. I needed money so I could have an "expert" complete the work but he refused and would never even discuss the issue with me. The manner in which he built shower pan was an absolute disgrace to the carpentry profession. I had 2 bathroom remodeling professionals come out to evaluate what he had done and both agreed that he failed miserably in providing me with the right product. It's costing me thousands of dollar more, on top of what I paid him. He received a total of $4500 plus; I paid about $4000 for materials but then after having someone else come out to tear out everything he had done, I am now out of $12,000! This guy wanted money too soon. Originally, he was the one who said he wanted a 1/3 of money upfront, in middle and then after work is completed. On the middle amount- he requested it too soon, even though he wasn't half way done; then while he wasn't even near completion, he hustled me out of the rest. I trusted this guy because he worked for me for a long time. I was good and fair to him and he took advantaged of me. I always paid what he asked even though he is unreasonably expensive but yet, he stiffed me and will not honor his agreement. All I can say is use him at your own risk. There are some things he does well but make sure you don't give him any money until work is completed but don't count on him honoring his agreement to come back to rectify any issues. He is not an honest man and will take advantage of you. This is not being written to be malicious but to forewarn you to not risk losing your hard earned money!
