Du-All Remodeling

I contracted Patrick Murrin of Du-All Remodelling, in November 2013 to do a small remodel of my bathroom. Basically, he was to remove a tub, install a new one and tile around it. This job was to take (by his contract) 3-4 days. The first time he finished, it took him 8 days. As soon as he was done, we noticed multiple problems immediately, such as: Leaking toilet, broken and cracked tiles, all grout lines were uneven and floors were not flat. In several locations, he actually used cracked tiles because he "thought I would never see them". He did admit to all the problems, and tried to resolve some of them. In the end, he made the tiles more crooked, and the bathroom floor tiles cracked and released from the floor tow days after he finished. Also, because of the way he messed up the tiles, we had water pooling and leaking behind the tiles. I have made several attempts to contact this person to reconcile the damage he has caused, and he is now avoiding my calls and emails. Since he was paid in full, I guess he feels that he doesn't need to reply to me anymore. The bottom line is, this person does not have the skills or integrity to do a good professional looking job. He did not even have the right tools to do the job correctly. When I showed him how a tiled threshold was supposed to look, he looked baffled and had no idea how to install (what he did do was extremely wrong, according to the contractors I had to hire to fix his mess). In the end, a 3-4 job (by his estimate) ended up taking seven weeks and was not done right. And caused a lot of damage to my bathroom. I have had to hire a qualified professional to remove all of his work and start over. This is not something I would do again, and warn others when dealing with Du-All or Patrick Murrin.
