I employee around 3-4 people my crew handles all of the interior work such as kitchens,bathrooms,tile,flooring,windows,doors,sheetrock,spackle. my subs are for roofing, electrical and plumbing all subs are licensed and insured carry workers comp as per NYS. My billing is a little different then others we go on a payment scale as the work is completed we get paid for that stage I find this keeps everyone happy. I am also a registered and approved 203K contractor with all 3 major banks so if you go through this type of loan process you dont have to wait for me to be approved and worry about me being denied and I am familiar with the bank process.

It did not go particularly well. Initially, the demo was completed punctually, but a pile of debris sat in my backyard from January until June. Beginning in February, Charles' crew stopped coming regularly. We had several weeks with no one at the house, and Charles was rarely there to supervise. The work was largely completed by June (Charles' initial estimates were for somewhere around March). No attempt was made to level the floor in the kitchen, and the problem was only mentioned after the cabinets were installed. No attempt was made to level the floor in the bathroom or square the walls. When these problems were discussed, Charles indicated that he could not possibly have fixed these issues. I know from speaking to other contractors since, that this is not the case. Charles never indicated that he was unable to install the new shower or toilet until it was time to do so. We brought in another contractor to take care of that install and to redo the work that Charles' crew did in the bathroom. The plumber that Charles subcontracted seemed to be unable to install a non-leaking faucet in either the kitchen or the bathroom. It was a major struggle to reach established dates for other contractors to do work (painting, etc.) In June, Charles indicated that the final debris removal and the securing of insulation that he had run which had come loose/final insulation of the bathroom floor would be completed soon. The debris was removed in August. The insulation has never been secured or finished. I last spoke to Charles in October, and he indicated that he would be by within the week to finish the insulation issue. He never came. Calls to his number recently have not been returned, and his voicemail no longer indicates that the number belongs to him. We were prompt in making sure that supplies were ordered and that payment was tendered. I wish I could say the same for Charles. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he is not a good or responsible contractor. The experience was a good (if somewhat costly) learning experience in what not to do when contracting for work to be done.
Description of Work: We contracted with Charles (on the recommendation of a friend) to rebuild our downstairs following Sandy-related flood damage. His price was good, and he seemed like a good guy. We agreed to pay him ~35,000 to rebuild the downstairs, put down a new subfloor, run insulation under the subfloor, reconfigure the kitchen and the bathroom.
