Greg The Builder

unknown

.

Did a fine job with estimating and coming in on budget and time. Even when a few surprises occurred, Greg and his father were able to be flexible and make the project work.

IT DIDN'T GO. HE NEVER RETURNED

unknown

That was the end of the process. He never contacted me again. I did not receive an estimate nor did he even have the courtesy to call back to say anything! He could have said he's too busy or that he wasn't interested in the job. But there was no further contact from this worker.

He was nice when he was putting the roofs on the sheds and he seemed very good. We picked out a very nice and costly storm door for our back entrance. Paid for it in full at TM Supply. He was also supposed to change the fill valve and flapper in our commode. I BOUGHT the parts myself at Lowes. We thought he was good and he promised to be back as soon as the door came in. We paid him in full. BIG MISTAKE. After the roofs were done, which he was in a hurry to do because we had a dumpster here cleaning out our basement and he was able to toss the old shingles in it. He did deduct for the hauling of old shingles. But his workers left old shingles all over the yard and even the neighbors were picking them up in their yards. Not good. He promised he would be back to put the door in a few days. The door was bought in mid August. Days were going by, and we still had the dumpster and we were donating a bookshelf to our library. We live in a very small town. When coming home, there is Greg working on someone else's house. He yelled at us, and quot;What are you following me?and quot; Well maybe he didn't get the drift that we lived here all our lives. And we had to pass that way to get home. I asked him if he could just stop over for 5 minutes and change the fill valve as the commode was starting to make a hissing noise. NOPE. Too busy. Mind you, he was paid in full already. and quot;Call me next weekand quot; he yelled. Days go by, and no Greg. We called and he said he was working on a big job putting in windows. I asked when he was coming to do the work, he said he didn't know. We waited and waited. No call from him. It's already over a month that the door is sitting at TM Supply collecting dust. We called and asked him if he can get the door in before I went for surgery. He said, and quot;my truck broke down and my best guy quit on meand quot;. The truck is always breaking down. We got that story many times. So we called our legal firm and was told that this guy has a past and it was not good. You can't always believe what you read on the computer. We called and asked for our money back. He said I was going to come Friday. He never called to tell us until we called asking for our money back. I said no, we just want the money back. He got nasty. I asked him why he didn't itemize his proposal. Nothing was itemized. No labor nothing. In PA that is a state law that you need to write a separate bill for labor and materials. Greg is not doing that. I asked him how much he was charging to change the fill valve. He was $20 more than the licensed plumbers we use. And Greg is not licensed plumber. He said he would leave cash in the mailbox. I said 'you will NOT'. You don't leave cash in a mailbox. I wanted a bank check, and he got furious. We got our money back with a bank check. I hated to write this but people need to know just what some 'builders' will do to get their foot in the door. I never encountered anyone like this and now I can see why his worker up and quit on him. He was doing all the work for Greg. Something wasn't right there. And I see on another part of Angie's List someone else had the same problem with him not showing up and the truck always breaking down. This is the pattern he sets and when I am asking him a question about the work, he is always walking away turning his back on me. Too much in a hurry yet your paying for the services. Yes we made our mistake in paying him in full as he seemed so nice but were we wrong. Once he got that money, he would not return calls and I had to threaten legal action. Beware!

Date and time was arranged for delivery and installation. Greg and his crew arrived on time. They explained what they were going to do and started to work immediately. They were very polite, considerate, and organized. They were respectful of our home and cleaned up as they worked. It was a two day job for the three workers. Throughout the day Greg kept us updated on their progress.When the job was complete they went through the house with us to make sure we were satisfied with everything.Working with Greg was a very positive experience. We purchased the doors and windows from window world and Greg was the installer. We consider ourselves lucky to have had him. We discussed with Greg other projects we would like to do in our home in the future, and we found him to be very informative and knowledgeable of different products available and how to install them properly.

will not use him again

very well. I have been using Greg's services since 1999. He always goes the extra mile for us.

They installed two Air conditioning units. They were nice and fine. They were punctual. They did a good job.

Greg is very reliable and very good at what he does. He showed up when he said he would and was punctual each time. He and his crew were very good with clean up after each workday. We found that he was not only very good at installing doors, but he was good at everything we asked him to do. We will call Greg for future jobs-big and small.

Over all, it went very well.

He has done a lot of work for me and he is fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is reasonably price and does high quality work. He follows up and follows through. He is reliable too. I probably spent $4000 for the bathroom remodeling and $15000 for the roofing work.

It went perfectly.
