Blue Moutain Handyman showed up pretty much on time. I feel he looked for ways to cut corners. He talked a good story. But, when it came to performance, he tried to cut corners. I feel that he would have provided substandard work if I had not been watching and called him on the same. I have 30 years experience in contract administration and feel without the experience of working with contractors, I would have received a substand job from Blue Mountain Handyman. Do get more quotes. Do have him specify materials if there are materials to be provided by him. Do watch him to make sure he completes work in compliance with instructions on the paint cans, sealer containers, etc.
Description of Work: Bluemountain handyman contracted to clean/patch/seal concrete basement walls, install new basement windows, install new drywall over the concrete walls, install new indoor/outdoor carpeting on front door steps, and seal a crack in a concrete wall. He talked a good story. Used low price material. Wanted to apply a second coat of wall sealer immediately upon completion of first coat, even though manufacturer's directions on the can provided that first coat be allowed to completely dry and the second not to be applied until several hours later. When quesioned about not following manufacturer's instructions, he said the "Jack" at Home Depot said it was unnecessary to wait. Later talded to "Jack", who told me he said no such thing. This contractor also miscalculated on construction of the stud wall over the concrete walls and had to hammer things into place before covering with sheet rock. In preparing the concrete walls to be sealed, this contractor did poor quality work. He said his paint sprayer would force the sealant into the concrete and seal the walls. I wire brused the walls myself to clean and remove loose material. The contractor did not clean up his mess from removing the old windows before leaving the job. I had to clean that up and dispose of the old windows.

Knows what needs to be done, and does it with no time wasted. Does NOT try to talk you into things that are not needed. Very impressed.
