He was familiar with our house and how it was built because he was in the neighborhood. The price was excellent. They could definitely use him.
Description of Work: He remodeled our bathroom.

Don complained and whined that he did not have enough money to buy groceries for his parents. It was a mistake for me to give him $200 to help him, for he used this against me. He wanted access to my home to use the bathroom--this, I'm sure, would have been expanded to allow other construction workers (unknown to me) access to my home. Sheathing was purchased, however, Don stated that not using it behind the Hardie board siding was "standard", and he expected to return it to the builders supply for cash. The City inspector required him to use it. 15# felt paper cost the same as 30#, but he wanted to use the "standard". I do credit Don and his crew for generally arriving on time each day scheduled. On the last day of the work, Don was left alone to complete the project. He was so angry at being the last one on the job. To me, the boss is supposed to be the last one to leave, so everything is completed correctly. I think Don needs anger management counselling. I have many pictures to back up my complaint of his poor craftsmanship, and documents about the specifics on engineering support of the foundation wall structure. I suggest to anyone who would consider doing business with Don's Home Repair & Remodeling to put ALL services to be performed in writing. Don quickly became angry and combative when I said to him that I wanted a second opinion from someone I could trust to look at some of his work. A second opinion is normal in business when there are questions of performance. He and his crew left a lot of trash at the job site. Cigarette butts was thrown all over the back yard. I suggest that anyone and everyone check for themselves about registration to do business in their city. Follow-up 120610-000226 #120610-000192
Description of Work: Don Matthews, Jr. and partner, Rick Harris, master capenter, built a room addition to my home. The work was stopped by City of Richardson due to no permit applied for. False information was given about the foundation wall as to size of reinforcement bars. Poor craftsmanship: Hardie Board siding doesn't line up correctly, framing left wide opening in roof for leaks, City inspector has required additional roof support, failed to reconnect rain gutter, failed to remount telephone interface, failed to give credit on materials not used because I provided them, business not registered in assumed names with Dallas County, etc., etc. No tin caps were used to retain the roof deck felt paper. Roof nails holding the roll roofing were left exposed to weather. Roof framing left exposed to weather for certain rainwater entry. Siding at soffitt was left open for rodents, etc.

Response from Don's Home Repair and Remodeling
I arrived at Member"s residence to give him a bid on what we were to do with an associate. It was cut and dry what he wanted so we worked up a price and he agreed. Once we got started he constantly under foot and trying to change what we agreed to do, we did give him quite a bit of consessions. On the day we finished I told him if there was any problems to call, he elected to email which for a week i could not check. I called as soon as I check this about a problem, he would not allow me to come and fix the problem and has yet to return my calls. I have never been treated by a customer this dis respectfully!

Things when great. He was prompt.
Description of Work: Don fixed a leaky toilet, hung a couple of floating shelves, hung a small light, replaced an electrical plug and flipped the breaker on another plug. He was here about 2-1/2 hours. I will certainly use him again.
