Steve came over right as scheduled and with out spending too much time was able to pin point the problem. He fixed the problem immediately enabling me to get back to work.

Description of Work: unreliable... needed light fixture changed for building... it took them 3 months to complete job. twice, i got stood up after rearranging my schedule to be there on day they made appt with me, no one came or called to cancel appt. when I called they said several people were out sick... this happened twice. the third time, they showed up late & completed work... the price is cheap, but not worth the hassle of dealing with a seriously compromised work ethic! stay away!

Would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: Installed and wired bathroom vanity. Ran a circuit to living room (2). Added 2 outlets GFI's. Snaked in 2 outlet lights. Added another outlet for a popcorn machine. Changed 1 switch to 2 outlets. Installed microwave, dishwasher, trash compactor and stove. Total hours of labor was 1500.00 and stock 400.00 Been trying to contact and have someome come to home as having problems with dishwasher. Also paid for 2 ceiling fans to be put up. Paid in advance for 2 fans to be installed as was stated by worker ceiling fan motor was not working on 1 fan. Purchased a new fan and old one is still up as he did not come back to install the new one. At this time cannot use diswasher. I was told that he would come back to home and see what was the problem and he told me several times he would show and never did. Kitchen floor came up due to water damage. Have to contact a plumber to see what was the problem with installation of dishwasher. Other ceiling fan works when it wants to. Was also told that worker installed dishwasher as favor as he was not plumber. In that case it should have never been installed, but paid for installation. It has been a month and still nothing is resolved.

The project went well until I finished paying him. Then as I said above he hasnt come to finish the work
Description of Work: Mr Duffy contracted out to remodel a home I bought in marblehead. Mr Duffy showed up most days and the contractors did the work but never finished. I paid Mr Duffy in full but once I did he never returned to finish the kitchen put in the hot water heater and finish grouting the bathroom floor. He used cheap materials when he told me he was using the best. I asked him through the whole experience that I needed to sign the contract he presented at the building inspectors office, he kept saying Ill bring it over. Now he is running for city council in lynn. Im sure im not the only person he has done this to. I have called him 43 times trying to get him to finish and he keeps giving me a story . It also took forever to get the final inspections on the house it wasnt until the building imspector told him he need to do this I got the final imspection. He had also had a plumber set up to install the hot water heater which he told me had already purchased and told me to tell the plumber I wasnt going to have it done . I think he did that because he had no intentions are putting it in

He started the job great and we developed a good working relationship, so I trusted him. I gave him final payment of $3900 and haven't seen him since. He did a nice job with the work he completed, he just needs to finish the rest of the work I paid him to do. He's given one excuse after another, but never follows through or shows when he says he will. He needs to come back and and install a new water heater (which he says he has already purchased), there are a couple of pieces missing in the cabinetry, put up a new valance, vent the bathroom exhaust fan, replace molding on a door way, reinstall smoke detectors, and regrout the bathroom tile. He promised to paint the inside of my garage too, but I'm not too concerned about that, I really just need him to complete the finish work.
Description of Work: I bought a real fixer upper and hired him to renovate and update the property. He gutted the kitchen and installed a new one, installed a new bathroom, redid the hardwood floors, sanded and painted the exterior of the home, painted the inside of the home, installed a small porch outside, fenced in my backyard, cleaned up the grounds of the property, updated the electrical service, re-plastered the ceilings, hung a TV on the wall, installed a couple new phone jacks, redid the front stairs and railing, and installed new windows. He's supposed to come back and install a new water heater, there are a couple of pieces missing in the cabinetry, put up a new valance, vent the bathroom exhaust fan, replace molding on a door way, reinstall smoke detectors, and regrout the bathroom tile. He promised to paint the inside of my garage too, but I'm not too concerned about that.

He did excellent work, was very professional in the way he completed his work and in speaking with me. He showed up on time for the job, listened to what I wanted done and did it. I plan on having him back to do work in my basement. I am not sure on a fair grading for price due to the fact that I really did not comparison shop.
Description of Work: James Duffy rewired our kitchen, added circuits and replaced all the outlets throughout house.
