My home was damaged because my hot water heater ruptured and sprayed hot steamy water all over the basement which caused mold to form and corroded through insulation on old electrical wiring and corroded the fuse box. My insurance company covered the damages except for the water heater. When the first check came Chris insisted that he needed the money up front to buy materials so I gave him a personal check for $2644 on June 28th. He did nothing after that except to have a mold assessor come over to see what kind of mold it was and the protocol that would be needed to clean it up. Then according to my insurance adjuster the mold assessor wasn't even certified to do the assessment. Chris was also supposed to replace a window in my son's bedroom (which he did), but he also knocked out the wall underneath it and tried to fix it but I can still see the ground underneath it without looking out the window. He also damaged the siding on my house. He also cut a 4 foot hole in my bedroom wall to supposedly have an electrician put a circuit breaker box in it and run wires. He had an electrician come and do an estimate and told me that he needed the money up front to pay the electrician. I asked him why he couldn't use the money I already gave him (because at that point he hadn't done anything) and he insisted that those moneys had to be kept separate. I spoke to my insurance adjuster and he was going to mail a check for the electric and I explained to him that I was uncomfortable giving Chris more money. When I told Chris on the phone that the check would be in the mail he called the insurance adjuster without telling me, and went and picked it up. He did bring it to me to sign but I was mad. Unfortunately I signed it and he received another $3250. After Chris replaced the window in my son's bedroom and left the hole in the wall he didn't bother to show up for several days and refused to answer my calls, so I called and left him a message that I wanted my money back. He came to my house with the police to get the tools he had left here, but did not return any of the money I had given him. He is dishonest and does very shoddy work. Don't waste your money!

Installed shower incorrectly and without a P-drain. Did not install a vent for sewer line causing a methane buildup behind the wall. All electrical outlets were put in without support so that they moved into the wall when plugging electrical items in. Also had a gash in the marble shower stall causing leakage.
