In addition, after Mr. Castor had replaced the water lead to a toilet I noticed that the tank and bowl filled only halfway. When I asked him about it he said that it was made that way. I have since discovered that this was a blatant lie. Apparently he must have decided that I wasn t green enough and adjusted the mechanism to conserve water. So it seems that I paid him to do something I did not want and then had to buy a new mechanism and pay another handyman to undo it. Then, someone name Bill Cody, who said he was the boss, called, promising to send someone else out the next day to provide some sort of remedy; yet another failure. Two weeks after that I got an e-mail from someone at HomeTask in Washington asking me if anyone had ever followed up. By then I was afraid to allow any of these people into my home again. This is an extremely incompetent organization in almost every respect. Its personnel are replete, not just with deception and fraud, but outright lies and theft.
Description of Work: Mr. Scott Castor was contracted to perform four tasks, which he estimated would take five hours. At the end of the first, three-hour session he had completed only one of the four. He then said that, given one extra hour, he could do two of the others. With few options, I agreed to abandon the fourth task and pay for a total of six hours. During the second session he finished one more of the tasks and announced that, once again, he could not do what he had promised in the allotted time but would do some of the third task. Again, I had no choice but to agree. When he had finished, while his time did run over, I assumed he would charge the agreed-to amount, especially since it had already been adjusted due to his miscalculation. Then the bill arrived and he had added, without any notice, comment or agreement, two more hours! In summary, he completed 2 1/3 of the original four tasks and I was billed for eight hours ($600!) instead of five (mathematically, nearly 275% of the original estimate)!
