Alford's maintenance and Home Improvements

First time, they were on time both son and father - work was ok for ridge vent and raising floor - then the son would not finish the door I asked for and said he did not know how to finish it but would ask his dad - that was never finished. Charged me twice the labor for the ramp because he had the father's grandson work with son who looked like he was not even old enough to work. They never came when you asked them to and rarely called you back. When they did come, they were quick to go. I was stolen from them and their friend who thought he was a plumber stole all my copper pipes from my home and the work was so horrible I had to call someone else in to do the work which was not up to code or finished properly. They lie about everything and smile to your face but they never finish anything - worse work I ever saw. The most dishonest group of people I ever met. They owe me money and never finished the work I paid them for. Three weeks later, they still haven't finished the insulation as promised. I would not have them work for me again but I thought I would warn those who are looking for a contractor, they price low as estimate but they don't tell you what else it will cost you to finish it, that is if they do. I was Lied to, stolen, cheated out of my savings but learned the hard way. I hope this helps someone. Promises, promises, promises - but none ever happen or come to pass Also the son buys things for himself on your dime and gives you the bill to pay. If you don't look at the material bill, you will get stuck with that and never get repaid - they surely scam people with a smile and steal from you every chance they get even their friend the plumber, Hendren, who knows nothing about plumbing works well with them as a joint effort to rip people off with horrible work or unfinished work but surely ask to be paid before they are finished and then complain when people don't want to pay them for poor work. This job should have taken, about a week - they took 2 and a half months of my time every day, and hour here and there and nothing is unfinished and now have to pay for someone else to correct and finished their work. The stress dealing with them was horrible and made me sick.

He showed up irregularly over a two month period, worked most short periods of less than four hours and left with a promise to be back sometime in the future to finish. He seldom kept those promises. In fact, I was rebuilding a old house and the entire house is now almost done while he still has yet to finish any of his small jobs. After many assurances that he would finish soon, he finally called and said he could not complete the job. He not only left the work undone but also left my yard cluttered with debris. His professionalism is poor, as is his follow through and his work ethic. He gave estimates but later said they did not include material or hauling off of trash. I would never use him again nor would I recommend him to anyone I knew. He even went into my refrigerator and helped himself to several soft drinks while I was not there. My advice is stay away from this guy.
