Prados Flooring

My wife found information about his services on facebook. I had put my foot through the ceiling, having slipped from a beam in the attic and needed the hole, which measured about the size of a box of typing paper, covered. He and his stepson arrived about three weeks ago. After I had handed him the check for the estimate ($200), he looked up at the ceiling and told me that since there was an already pre-existing crack running about six feet across, he'd need to saw out about 1/5 of the ceiling of the large room. Not knowing much about this sort of thing, I agreed. So they went noisily to work, having laid some thin plastic down on the carpet and having hung some thin plastic curtains around their work space. A couple hours later, as they were getting ready to go to lunch, I took a look at the results. There was a pretty clear margin, a kind of bend in the joint between old ceiling and new that went about 15 feet along the ceiling. I'd seen a couple videos of drywall ceiling repair and thought this would be filled in soon to look more even with the old ceiling. But as work continued, and more spray on paint was applied, I could see that this unattractive line would remain visible. He then left, telling us the paint needed to dry. And for two weeks we heard excuse after excuse about him not being able to rent a "hopper" from Cleveland Rent All. After two weeks of promises and no shows, my wife finally went to Cleveland Rent All to inquire about the availability of this hopper he had described as constantly being out rented by other customers. No, the manager said, the hopper had been available all that time and was available that very day. My wife called him with this information and Michael said he would rent it and come complete our work today at 11 am. Of course he was late. When he did show up, he didnt have the hopper but was using cheap spray-on material that didn't match. While he was at our house, he requested the use the bathroom and did so noisily and odorously while on his cell phone loudly (Michael says everything at top volume) bragging about "dropping a bomb in this lady's bathroom" and laughing. He then "finished" and said he'd be back tomorrow. There was margins around the new ceiling he had used some sort of clear foam rubber on rather than white caulk. They stand out and look godawful. We told Michael we will not be having him back to fix his repair. What we're left with is a sloppy, unacceptable job that we'll likely end up shelling out more money to fix.
