did not get completed in time frame promised, quality of work and materials substandard, and nearly 10 years later I'm still having to have things redone that were not done correctly, so it's costing me double.

In June of 2102 KLT and I agreed to a $60,000 renovation to my house. He was fired in August of 2012 after a checklist of 212 jobs to be done had only 46 crossed off. The schedule he presented at the start had him finishing in mid-August. Since he insisted on paying up front for materials and weekly paychecks (that he just cashed over the counter at the bank) I had paid him close to the $60,000 final bill - he was no where close to being finished. I had to pay another contractor another $40,000 to finish what KLT couldn't. This guy is a joke - and don't be fooled - it's just one guy who hires whomever day worker can stand to work for him. Don't not hire this company/person. He was later arrested for construction fraud for this job.
Description of Work: KLT contractors will promise you the world, bog you down with paper work, then find a way to not finish the job and try to get your money up front. His workers are inexperienced. Basically, Tyson Kilgore does EVERYTHING he can to get you to open your wallet and he has no intention of ever finishing the job.

Terrible. He started a hundred things and didn't finish any of them.
Description of Work: We hired Tyson Kilgore (KLT) to do an addition and kitchen/dual bath remodel as well as other miscellaneous things. After three months of him doing shoddy work we discovered that the money we had given to him for the addition windows, kitchen counter tops, nicor gas meter relocation, roof, trusses, bathroom tile, etc. etc. was not used to purchase these items, and that the money was gone. We fired him from the job and are in the process of pursuing it legally. This guy is your worst nightmare. We are out tens of thousands of dollars and now have to hire contractors to fix everything he did improperly or not at all. The negative details of our experience with KLT are still being revealed to us on a daily basis. Every professional that has examined his work since, was astounded by the incompetence and in some cases laughed out loud. If Tyson Kilgore or KLT comes your way, don't walk away -- RUN.

It ended up that I had to hire a new company to put on a new roof. The building inspector came back and said i had to replace the roof. Because the roof was not right and during a big rainstorm we ended up having damage done to our ceiling, walls and in our garage. With the landscaping they planted plants in the wrong places and they all died. The patio is already falling apart. The owner acknowledged that the roof was bad and promised to pay me back but he never has. I also know that he does not deduct taxes from his employee's paychecks.

Stay far away from this contractor. He is bad news. I had him work on 2 rehab projects, which he did not finish either 1 of them. One of the projects was a week's worth of work, maybe 2 if you stretch it. 7 Weeks later he was still working on it with no end in site. The other project was about a 6 week project and that one went on for months. He claimed it was a money issue and paying his guys, which is part of why we started the 2nd project with him - not sure why we did that now, but it was a very bad choice on our part. He will do what he can to coerce the money out of you and then not complete the work. If you do happen to use him, make sure the work is complete before you pay him. He is a smooth talker, but that is all he is - all talk, no performance. This contractor is bad news. Go elsewhere. I have since found out that I am not the only one KLT has done this to. He does not cleanup his job sites. We spent a lot of money with him (embarrassed to say how much as it was more than the amount put above). Result was no finished product before we had to tell him to stay away. Now, we are recovering from our bad choice in using his lack of services. Run as fast as you can from this contractor. I have video of the condition of his work after I told him not come back to our jobs - it is not a pretty thing. On many occasions, I had arguments with KLT/Tyson Kilgore due to the lack of completed work - he is just not professional in how he treats his customers. Quality of work is very poor. For instance, he hung paneling with staples because the nails were too hard to use and put in - this was in mobile home rehab. KLT does things out of order. An example, flooring (carpet) put in place before ceiling completed with texture. I could go on and on, but I must move on at this time. Just stay away for this contractor. He will not make things right for you.

Very poorly. We hired this man to do a variety of handyman work and remodeling. We didn't expect to encounter the problems we did.
Description of Work: A very bad experience. Tyson Kilgore was hired to remodel some very significant areas of our home. Home owners beware of this company. The owner is a very good salesman, but dishonest. He'll ask for 80% down and spend all the money before the job even begins, resulting in delays and poor quality materials needed to do the work you're hiring him to do. He asked us for more money before the job was completed. He tried to charge us for material that was used for other jobs (ie: bathroom vanity when we weren't even having an ounce of work done to the bathroom). Homeowner, BEWARE!
