+ -1 moreThis contractor came recommended through a colleague of mine (although my colleague had never used them before - so I decided to contact Joe anyway to give him the benefit of the doubt). I spoke with Joe on a Monday and told him that I'm a real estate investor and in order for me to put the property under contract, I need to determine my rehab budget (so I can know how much I'm going to offer the seller - I'm sure my fellow real estate investors can understand). I didn't think this would be an issue since most contractors offer free estimates and Joe didn't seem to have an issue with it - at least I thought. Fast forward to Friday (today) when I sent him a text to confirm and you would've thought I spoken to someone completely different. He asked me if I owned the house and when I told him I didn't he said he didn't want to do a free estimate because I'm just shopping around and a bunch of other unnecessary comments which I thought were ridiculous. Regardless of whether or not I own the house or am an investor, I would still want a free estimate. What kind of contractor charges upfront anyways!!!? Not someone I would ever do business with or recommend to anyone. Extremely unprofessional.
Description of Work: Was supposed to do a free estimate and backed out at the last minute because he doesn't want to work with real estate investors.

+ -1 moreAwful -- Scsepko is a liar and a thief. He did the demo but then never installed the new walls or doors. His electrical guy did everything illegal (14 gauge wiring, multiple hidden junction boxes), and he left the wiring exposed in my son's room and my little boy (6 years old) received a bad shock. Scsepko left the work unfinished, with no explanation, and he won't answer phone calls or texts. I have to pay to have the whole thing redone.
Description of Work: We signed a contract for him to demo two walls and move the doors, reframe the walls, install doors and two lights. He did the demolition and some framing, took my money, and disappeared. He won't answer phone calls or texts, but he still posts ads on Craigslist seeking new jobs. I had to pay even more money to have someone else come in and repair the work because it turns out he installed the frames badly and used illegal wiring in the electrical.

+ 7 moreAwful, still waiting for a phone call or service. I am currently pregnant and due any week now an need some work before the baby came. Seemed to be an ok guy but was I wrong.
Description of Work: Had an appointment today for some work done to my apartment. He did not show up nor had the decency to call to tell me that he will not show up. I took the day off for this!?! Not professional at all. Would not recommend.
