SHALLOW POCKETS HOME REPAIR

Description of Work: He installed an exterior garage light and put in new locks on the front door.

Description of Work: We had an inoperable jetted tub in the master bath. Greg removed the pump and had it repaired, cleaned out the solenoid drain valve to make it work again, and replaced a faulty electrical switch.

Description of Work: Greg, owner of Shallow Pockets, installed a door for me. His price was more than reasonable; it was approximately the same as Home Depo. Although the door looks okay, the primary problem was he did not listen to me, and I ended up with the same problem as door I replaced. One of the main reasons I was replacing the door was because the old door had a 1 inch gap at the bottom that left in a draft. And although most indoor doors do have an inch or so gap at the bottom to circulate heat and air, this one leads to the laundry room which is cold and drafty as it leads to the garage. As the new door had to be cut down lengthwise, this should not have been a problem had he listened to me. So after the expense of buying a new door and having it installed, I was left with the same problem as with the old door - a draft! What a waste of time and money! In addition, he complained about how long it took him to install the door, and how he couldn't make a living at this rate! However, he was the one who quoted the price! While giving me the estimate for the door, we had discussed a couple other small jobs I needed done - installing a fireplace mantle shelf, and wood base in my bedroom. He was very reluctant to give me even an estimate for installing the fireplace mantle. When he finally did, I felt it was too high, esp, since he did not appear very knowledgible or experienced in mantle shelf installation, and told him this. His response was "Then go get some Mexicans to do it for you!" I am Mexican-American, felt his statement was derogatory, racist, and took offense to it, and told him so. Instead, of apologizing, etc., he only made more and worse racial slurs. He also made vague threats, such as, "You know, I saw some really scary characters when I was leaving your neighborhood. You should really watch yourself. Sure hate for someone like you to get hurt", etc, etc. Much of this was made through messaging. He also called me a f---ing b----, and a c---! In addition, he told me he had fallen when getting into his truck after leaving my house which was absolutely not true as I watched him walk to his truck and get in it. Due to his racial slurs and threats, I decided to report his unprofessional behavior to the proper authorities. That's how I found out his business licence had been suspended, and he was continuing to operate his business without one.

Description of Work: This is the third time I've asked Greg to help me with something as "My Handyman". Once again he came through with flying colors for me. Greg fixed a leak and dishwasher problem that a local plumber completely missed and still charged me $90 for. The plumber told me the problem was simply that the connection to my sink's sprayer hose was lose and he tightened it. I called Greg when the problem actually got worse. He came and knew right away what the problems were. (There were actually two and what he charged me included parts he had to buy). Greg fixed my leaks quickly and as always charged me a fair price. He always lets me know what to expect as far as price. I really appreciate this since I don't have very much money. I can always depend on him to take care of my maintenance or repair needs quickly and with honesty. As soon as I save enough money I will hire Greg to put the sunroom I've been dreaming of onto my house since I know he can do the big stuff too - he already has for other people.

Description of Work: Installed fixtures in bathroom (toilet, shower kit and vanity + all hardware). Greg also corrected some plumbing errors and did some drywall and painting as well as a couple minor repairs in the home.

Description of Work: 1) He added to the dining room wall and then put in some leaded glass french doors I had bought. 2) He knocked out a wall enlarging the bathroom then put in another wall and door, textured and painted, put trim in, then put in a 5 ' vanity and mirror in. He also put trim and baseboard around the house.
