Wayne Dubiel

I was remodeling my living room and installing a new shower stall. I met Wayne after seeing his business sign on another job and stopped in the house he was working on. It looked like quality work he was doing. Normal contractors give you a quote. Wayne is experienced enough to know that no job ever seems what it is. Either you overpay, because the contractor gets the job done quicker, or you are shocked by the final price because there is additional labor and materials from problems that arise, like what we found on my job, rotted wood and extra beam support needed. Wayne is great to work with. He will tell you his hourly wage. He works from 7:30 to 4:00 until the job is done. He has every tool needed and is clean and efficient. I did not know where to get the windows I needed and he was a great source of information for those. Also I wanted hickory lumber to make a beam and he told me my options of where to go to lumber yards. The job was for an old cottage. Nothing was square or level to start with. Wayne made great recommendations to make the finished job look great. He is resourceful and experienced. The quality of work is exceptional. Just two examples, he joined two pieces of hickory together for the window sill. There is no way you can tell it is two pieces. It looks like one. And when I was painting the drywall, the seams were near perfect making it very easy to paint, especially where the ceiling meets the walls. To top it off he installed my windows quickly and efficiently in the middle of February. I had one major window company in Rochester, that wouldn't even touch the job because they thought is was too complex and they were afraid of potential problems. Also, I had the bathroom shower job estimated by two kitchen and bath places. Wayne was able to do it much cheaper, saving me at least $2,000. One nice thing too is he works with you on all your options, and it was great that I could polyurethane the lumber I found, paint the walls and put up my own trim etc. I saw another review on here, being negative, I just don't understand. Finding Wayne, I felt very lucky for such a comprehensive contractor. I am 100% satisfied with the job and have asked him to replace my outdoor stairs this spring. If you decide to use Wayne and debate going with him over the other negative posting vs. my positive posting, I have told Wayne I am happy to have him give you my contact info so you can see personally at my house the work he has done. I couldn't be more satisfied and you will too.

This is the old bait and switch contractor. He came to the house and gave me a very low price (verbally) with no written estimate (I know, my bad). He showed up 3 weeks later, billed us for being on the job for 19 hours (he was there maybe 13-14 hours as my husband was home when he would show up) and literally tripled the original price he quoted me verbally when the job was finished. It wasn't bad work, just bad business ethics. Had the audacity to get mad when we questioned how many hours he was actually at the house performing the task. My husband said he arrived around 10 am the first day, and left for 1-2 hours the first day due to rain and returned around noon. He had cleaned up the work area and gone by the time I arrived home around 4 pm. When we were discussing the final invoice, he told me he charged me for coming out and giving me an estimate, when his invoice clearly states (which, by the way, states that it is a proposal) that he provides free estimates. Not honest with you at all.
