Response from BIG DAVE'S SERVICES
I am sorry you feel the way you do. Any remodeling project is a two way street. Information needs to be exchanged between both the customer and the contractor to bring things to a point where a project can be accurately estimated. It is our process to walk our clients through the myriad of selections and decisions that need to be made to get to the product specifications that are necessary for accurate estimates. We were in the midst of that process and where I had requested some product selections from you when I forwarded a narrowed down pricing range to you in mid-November. The lowest end of that pricing range totaled significantly over the maximum budget you had indicated in earlier conversations and the communication on your end ceased. As much as I would have liked to help you, for whatever the reason things didn't work out. Perhaps you found someone else to do the work for a lower cost or you changed your mind or the scope of the job to meet your available budget amount. I'm sorry the previous contractor had left you in such a mess with a demolished bathroom and what you described as a lack of communication before you fired him. I'm sorry that your brand new flooring another previous contractor had installed would have likely needed to be removed to properly plumb in your shower stall in the demolished bathroom. I'm sorry your previous contractor had installed your new kitchen counter in a substandard way and had left you with a very poor, semi-finished counter top installation. I’m sorry the new flooring in the kitchen, hallway and powder room your had installed by a previous contractor was installed so shoddily. You obviously had a number of unresolved issues with those contractors. I do want to let you know that while there are unscrupulous individuals in this business who pose as skilled tradespeople, they are in the minority. They do, unfortunately, shed a poor light on everyone in this industry. Many of us take great care and pride in our work and provide excellent project outcomes for our customers. Those excellent project outcomes do have a price tag attached to them, however. Selecting among the lowest cost service providers often results in substandard project outcomes where either you need to live with lower quality, poor installations or pay for the same project twice…once to the substandard contractor and a second time to a contractor that will clean up the mess left by the first contractor and do things right. Fixing another contractor’s mess was where you were when you invited me to your home to discuss your projects. Again, I’m sorry things didn’t work out. I hope you found an acceptable solution that matched your available budget.

Response from BIG DAVE'S SERVICES
As much as we are capable and equipped to do the work at your home, because you don't own it and rent from another person, I cannot do so. We discussed that I would need the contact information for your landlord regarding your requests for work, and I never received it from you. Without that information, I cannot and will not proceed with the substantial renovations and repairs you had requested. I am very sorry you feel the way you do. Simply put, it would not be proper and legal for me or anyone else to agree to make the door replacements you wished to have done without the property owner's knowledge, permission and consent. It doesn't matter who pays for repairs and/or renovations at a rental dwelling....it's a matter to decide who pays between a landlord and their tenant....but without proper authorization from the property owner or their agent to make any tenant requested repairs, I would be putting our company in jeopardy of legal repercussions from the property owner for agreeing to do substantial renovations (entry door and storm door replacements) without their permission. As much as you would like the doors replaced with smaller doggie doors for your pets, regardless of if you are willing to pay for them yourself or not, you do not own the property, you cannot legally control the nature of the repair/renovation and you cannot make legal agreements with contractors for permanent replacements of structural elements to the home you rent without the property owner's knowledge and permission. Tenants need to work out details of desired repairs with property owners or their agents or managers and be prepared to furnish full contact information for the property owner and/or their agents prior to scheduling an appointment or work order with a service provider.

Description of Work: I called Dave to have a broken window in my house repaired. He was very friendly and arranged a time to come over that fit my schedule. New glass was installed in about a week. Final cost $190. Would not hesitate to recommend him.

Description of Work: I exchanged several e-mails and calls with Big Dave for quotes on several projects. He was always fast to respond to my e-mails, even when he was out of town. His pricing was very fair, but unfortunately he was too busy to perform the work within the timeframe I needed. I also asked Dave for some roofing and chimney work. Although he doesn't do these kind of jobs he was quick to point me to some very reputable companies. Thanks again Dave!

On time, Good work.
Description of Work: Big Dave replaced our old shower with a new Sterling shower module. All work was done within a week and his crew was very timely. His nephew did the bulk of the work and was always on time, cleaned up for himself and did a great job. A sub-contractor did the plumbing and drywall.

Description of Work: We had Big Dave's Services come in and do some repairs for us. We had a leaking bathroom sink and he was able to fix it. He also did some faucet repairs for us. Dave was exceeding polite and pleasant to talk to. I thought he did a nice job and a reasonable rate. I would use him again.
