Description of Work: It took him 3 weeks to respond to my call. I was having surgery, my 30 year old son took the call. We needed a 24 inch by 30 inch hole repaired . He immediately told my son that he doesnt do that. The Angie's List offer was for small holes. NOWHERE did it say that in the offer. Then he told my son to send pictures, he then told him of all unnecessary work that needed to be done. He'd get back to him. He never did. I called and left a number of messages. He told me to send pictures again, he deleted the other ones. I told him no. I paid for this and I want someone to come out and take a look at it. He said that would be an extra charge or he'd use my initial job purchase towards it. Weeks later, after not showing up twice, he came. He said he was too busy. I showed him other potential work that he seemed more interested in. It took him another 2 weeks to give me ridiculously high quotes, but still nothing for the initial drywall repair work. He finally sent me that one for $880.00 which he added on extra work. I hired someone else who did the repair work that was needed for $125. This went on with James Taccola from the day I made my purchase until I FINALLY received his estimate on 4/30/15. I have copies of correspondence. To say I am dissatisfied is a gross understatement. Unfortunately I purchased 2 offers that day from Angie's list, and both claimed the ad was incorrect because that is not what was offered. I am requesting a refund once again, and have decided to eliminate Angie's List all together.

Response from J T General Contracting
Hello, Called the customers son in response approximately two days after 1st phone call to discuss what needed to be repaired. After a few days he sent me some photos. I responded to him again but never heard back immediately. When we did connect, the pictures do not show a small hole. Its a large area inside of a shower which includes the shower fiberglass enclosure which he states also needs to be repaired. Repairing/replacing the enclosure portion is not part of the coupon repairs. The area also needed to be removed entirely (all sides) and replaced because there is no way to repair just one spot. To remove this enclosure would require to damage the plaster around the entire enclosure and then replace and plaster back. Then return to prime and paint all to match existing. He explained that he would need to discuss this with his mother. Quite a while went by before I heard back again. [Member name removed] called and requested that I come out to look at the area and other potential work needed with some problematic areas. Because she had been sick and time had passed back and forth, I tried to accommodate even though I knew and explained the extent of the repairs. She asked me about (4) separate jobs including a leaking area. All of which were extensive. I sent her quotes as I also sent a masonry contractor there to look at one of the areas. I emailed quotes and comments, and also called to follow up with the customer. No response! We do get very busy, and sometimes appreciate that our customers are looking for a quick turn around, but we take each customer and job as scheduled in order to be completed as responsibly as possible. We do not have time for ridiculous requests. Regards, JT

Description of Work: We used an Angie's List coupon for 4 hours of dry wall work for $115. They sent out two workers who patched a 2 foot square hole in our bedroom ceiling as well as some plaster cracks in our upstairs hallway. They completed the job in 2 hours and we were very satisfied with the results.

Description of Work: Bought coupon on Angie's List for drywall and paint services. They replaced a 8 foot by 1 foot hole in basement drywall, then primed to make paint-ready. Job took a bit longer than expected, running over the cost of my pre-purchased deal, but overall a good value and work was very good.

Description of Work: Painting. I bought a deal for 1 room and they pained one room, but I did end up paying some 'overtime". Honestly, I expected one room, not a time limit, but it still seemed like a fair price. They were good guys, very professional and they did good work. |
