The work was not expensive. It was around $20 a window so it was something outrageous on what I thought it was going to be. I use them for this and that, and that and this. His prices are reasonable and he does really good work. He is slow but it is done right. He is slow to get things done but he calls me back and lets me know what is going on. I’ve used them off and on for years.
Description of Work: I used Deco Now to paint some exterior windows because my house was built in 1940 so the exterior windows needed to be scraped and painted.

His name is George Brown. He didn't charge as much as he should have. You should definitely use him. He is a perfectionist and he doesn't do it unless it is done absolutely right. He is not happy with it until it is right. He's good. It was raining real hard and he came at 2 in the morning and got up on my roof.
Description of Work: I used Deco Now. He has done several things for me. He put a new roof on. He has done painting, carpentry and plumbing.

I scheduled 10 days ago. I am a very busy business person and had to take the day off to be here for the work to be performed. Called and said he was running late. Called a second time and said he'd give me a 50% discount. Then called back a 3rd time to say, "I can't make it until 10:15 or so but I decided you are not the type of person I want to work for because you aren't flexible. I prefer working for elderly because they are flexible."
Description of Work: Called him to have a faucet installed.

I DO NOT DISPUTE NOT GETTING TO THE JOB. I WAS TRYING TO SATISFY THE MEMBER BUT SHOULD HAVE OUT RIGHT CANCELED THAT MORNING. I WAS FEELING ILL BUT WAS TRYING TO MEET COMMITMENTS MADE. THE MEMBER, VERY POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL, WAS NOT ABLE TO BE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET PACKED UP FROM ANOTHER JOB, DRIVE ACROSS TOWN, TO DO THE JOB FOR HER IN THE TIME SHE HAD ALLOTTED. I CALLED TO ALERT HER I WAS RUNNING BEHIND. I CALLED HER BACK TO SEE IF SHE COULD WORK IT OUT FOR ME TO BE 30 MINUTES LATE [EVEN OFFERED 50% DISCOUNT FOR THE INCONVENIENCE]. I SAW IT WAS GOING TO BE 10:15 SO I CALLED AGAIN AND THE JOB WAS CANCELED. I WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR 9:30. IT WAS FRUSTRATING FOR US BOTH. I WANTED TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION SATISFACTORILY. I WAS TRYING BUT WAS JUST NOT PHYSICALLY ABLE. CURRENTLY I AM WORKING ALONE SO THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE TO SEND. THE NEXT AFTERNOON I WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL FOR 7 DAYS. I CAN ONLY OFFER THE MEMBER MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES. GEORGE

He has not finished yet, but he has been the nicest and neatest help we have ever gotten. He is kind, courteous, and reasonable. He is very efficient and knowledgeable. He is going to be fixing a rotting board on our deck. I just told him what I wanted and he did it. I can not say enough good things about him.
Description of Work: He has put in recessed lighting in our kitchen. He went up through the wall and has hidden all the wires. He has put molding in our living room and bedroom.

I discussed the time limit on the job, and he did offer me a discount. He came out on a Sunday and was supposed to ring my buzzer because I have trouble hearing knocking, but they just knocked, left a note on the door, and left. He didn't return my calls the rest of that day. He told me he was having some health issues that would cause some strange behavior, which I took as a threat. He sent workers out to my home that he had told me were unstable. He came out to the job late today, and just disappeared after a half an hour. His worker showed us and started harassing me and cursing. I tried to calm him down, and went to go get some supplies to help him finish the job. When we came back from getting the supplies, the owner had come out and we had an altercation. They took their tools and left the job. He said he would call me, but at that point I told him he was fired.
Description of Work: I hired them to do painting, drywall repair, and various other projects. They supposed to complete the work per the contract, in 10 days. It's been 5 weeks now, and the project still isn't finished. He's been not showing up, coming and disappearing, sending guys out alone that weren't supposed to be working unsupervised. Their behavior became more and more erratic as the job progressed. He's even asked me if he could take a half a week off to go out of town.

THE MEMBER'S CONTRACTORS HAD WALKED OUT. I WAS VERY BUSY, BUT TOLD HER I WOULD TRY TO HAVE ONE MAN THERE. *WORKERS: WORKER WAS A PROFESSIONAL. I MET HIM AT THE JOB SITE. I MET HIM AT DAYS END.*RESPONSIVENESS: I RETURNED EARLY FROM VACATION. WE KNOCKED 4 TIMES, ASSUMED SHE WAS ILL, HAD TAKEN MEDICATION OR FORGOT. KNOCKING WAS USUAL. SHE CALLED AT 7:00 PM SUN. RETURNED HER CALL THE NEXT MORNING. SHE HAD TAKEN SOMETHING, DIDN’T FEEL GOOD AND HAD BEEN IN BED.*TIMELINE: SHE NEVER EXPECTED I WOULD FINISH AS STATED. TIME LOST BECAUSE SHE NEEDED REST. SHE WOULD APPROVE WORK IN A ROOM, AND OVERNIGHT SMEAR DRYWALL MUD ON THE WALLS. SHE HELD MAKING A BAD REPORT OVER MY HEAD. WHAT SATISFIED HER ONE DAY MAY NOT THE NEXT. I BECAME ILL. AS I WAS RECOVERING, MY WORKER WAS HOSPITALIZED. *LAST DAY: MEMBER SAYS MY HOURLY WORKER CURSED HER BECAUSE HE RAN OUT OF PAINT. I MAKE SURE NOT TO GIVE HIM AN EXCUSE TO SLACK OFF. HE WAS HAPPY. SHE USED HIM OFTEN FOR NON-JOB THINGS. I LEFT TO GET A TOILET FLANGE. I OBSERVED MEMBER SEARCHING MY VAN. I ASKED, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” SHE SAID, “I WAS JUST TRYING TO SEE WHY YOU LEFT.” I FELT SHE WAS TOTALLY OUT OF LINE. I DON’T SEARCH THROUGH PEOPLE’S THINGS. I TOLD MY WORKER TO PACK UP. WE WOULD FINISH TOMORROW. I REMAINED COOL BUT NEEDED A BREAK AWAY. WE LEFT TOOLS. SHE ENTERED, WENT TO HER BEDROOM, DOOR CLOSED. I ASKED HER VISITOR TO TELL HER I WOULD CALL HER TOMORROW BEFORE COMING BACK. I CALLED THE NEXT MORNING. SHE HAD NOTHING TO SAY TO ME AND HUNG UP.

They were prompt and came immediately after my call. I didn't think they were professional because they only repaired the locks and that was it! They left and never gave a reason for not repairing anything else!

THIS JOB NEVER HAD A DEFINITE START TIME. THE HOUSE WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. OUR COMMUNICATION WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE MEMBERS VACATION. COMMUNICATION WAS FRAGMENTED. I NEVER GAVE THE MEMBER AN ESTIMATE. ACCORDING TO HER REPORT I DID OBVIOUSLY MISUNDERSTAND THE SITUATION BECAUSE I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO CALL ME WITH AN UPDATE ON THE COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION. AFTER NOT HEARING, I ASSUMED INCORRECTLY, IT SEEMS, THAT THE DESIRE FOR ME TO DO THE WORK HAD CHANGED.
