Description of Work: He is a scam artist. He was doing plumbing and remodeling for us and never paid the suppliers of material the money he was given. Therefore we filed criminal charges, because it was a lot of money.

Description of Work: This company stole money and did not provide services. Theives and liars. DO NOT USE THEM

Description of Work: First of all I didnt hire this company my property manager did. The plumber who destroyed my bathtub is a dumba$$. He did not do what he was told to do. This so called plumber, goes by the name Buzzy. He had a simple task which was to wait for the property manager before entering the home. He conned his way in and busted my bathtub up thinking he could make $$$$the from the insurance company. By the time my property manager got there the damages were already done. I contacted him directly and he told me he wasn't liable for His destruction of my bathtub. It was a simple fix directly through the vinyl siding on the rear of the home where the faucet was broken off. What a quack.

Description of Work: Prior to hiring Camden Plumbing, I actually went to the Better Business Bureau website, and came across two different ratings. One was with Gerald Dukes (a Master Plumber), and the other was Buzzy Dukes (NOTHING). We found out after it was all over, Buzzy had taken over his father's business after he passed away. So no one at that company has any licenses what so ever!. We now think he has changed his company name, and works out of St. Simons Island and Brunswick, Ga. As soon as I find out the new company, I will post it. He was hired because my wife saw water dripping out of a wall in our garage, and it turns out that the Master Bath shower is on the other side. One of his "Cronies" came out, cut a hole in the wall, and said that it was coming out of the shower. Buzzy Dukes came out the following Monday, and gave us an estimate, for completely gutting out our tile step in shower, removing the sheetrock, the waterproof underlayer, and the shower pan, the re-installing all new replacements. I specifically asked him if he had the staff to complete a project of this size, and if he was bonded. He said YES to both, and would bring me a copy of his bond later (should have been a red flag, a reputable contractor has all his paperwork with him). We had decided, that as long as we were going to tear out the majority of our bathroom, we would have the floor re-tiled also. The total of all this work was at about $4000.00. We gave him a check for 1/2 up front, and he said he would complete the job in about 3-4 weeks. We agreed for him to start on the following Monday. His crew showed up promptly and started the demolition, and it turns out that the shower that was installed when we had the house built, was defective. Everything was covered with mold, including the wooden 2x4's! (Oh, the smell!). Everything had to come out all the way to back to about 1/2 way around our garden tub. The demolition kept up, while they were tracking mold, sawdust, drywall, etc. all over the back half of the house. My wife started to place blankets on the floor where they were walking outside of the bathroom and into the garage (He had nothing to put down), then he had nothing to clean up the room each night, so I let him use my 20 gal. wet-vac (which he eventually ruined). My insurance company came out twice, to see the damage, and to talk with Mr. Dukes, and things seem to be progressing slowly. The demo finally was completed, and we didnt see him for a couple of days, then he would show up, then disappear again (You see the pattern). OK, FF to the start of the rebuild. He had no one that could frame up the shower! OOPS! FF again, he was suposed to order a glass shower door, but he said he couldn't find any. I made ONE phone call, and had oneI had him amend the contract, so I could buy one, have it installed, and he would reimburse me. My insurance company finally sent me a check for what they were going to pay for, so I agreed with Buzzy Dukes, that when he got to about 90% completed, I would give him the rest of what we owed. I figured that he would be more motivated to complete the job. He got to about 80%, and I made the mistake of paying him 3/4 of the balance. Then he basically stopped showing up. I called numerous times, and when I made calls from a different phone (Caller ID!) and he did answer, he would argue with me about what was remaining to be done. He did have someone come out to start working on the "Shoe-molding" that covers where the tile meets the wall, but the guy did not know how to cut angles, I had him stop. The rest of the story is, he basically refused to come out and finish the job. I hired someone else to finish the job, and took him to court for $1170.00 that I felt he was overpaid for the work he did, won the case, and could not collect a dime. He has since declaired bankruptcy, and now I can collect nothing.

Description of Work: My hot water heater broke and I have a home warranty company, so the service call is only $60.00. They never called me back with anything, the poor service guy called me back around 7pm, when they were supposed to be there at 9:30 am. They ordered the wrong water heater, so now I am still without one and its 10 days later. Hopefully they will do it tomorrow. They kept me waiting all day for the service man to show up, but never did.

Description of Work: We supplied a new sink and faucet; needed a plumber to install these. No problems were encountered, and plumber completed the task in under three hours. We (stupidly, in retrospect) paid the full amount by check at the conclusion of the service, but the shock hit us fully after the plumber left. Their bill was a whopping $385. When we telephoned the next day and requested to speak with the owner, a ridiculous, elusive "runaround" began, and to this day (June 27th) we have not heard a WORD from them, despite stopping by the office several times (no one there...any time of day, it seems...) and numerous calls. We have never experienced such a lack of professionalism before, not to mention that there was NO itemized bill given to us. Live and learn. Beware.
