A to Z Handyman

Description of Work: Fence repair.

Description of Work: I hired this person ,as i need to men who can rehab a older home. I have used one for 5 months with excellant work performance and quality. My original handyman was out of town for a couple of weeks so I allowed this person Eric to work for me and what a NIGHTMARE!!!. First who tries to put in drywall and not tarp off the entrance to the existing room!!! I got home as I did not babysit him and found drywall dust -thick and on EVERYTHING!!!! I then had to procede in doing HIS cleanup from the mess where he was working and left. I let that go...then the second day i told him,he admits i should have tarped. Also turned off the breakers to the ajoining rooms so could not see. I spent that night at my sons as i have asthma and the air was so thick with drywall. The second day I returned -he left a bill YET when I looked I then had lights back on and saw the drywall and patrcial sanding he did was in 4 ROOMS again- no tarping he said and no shop vac he had..oh my gosh so I used my vacumm which is ruined . The drywall was never finished...put up and he decides to take out the old trim from door jam AFTER the drywall is up!!!! Should it not be the otherway around!!! The drywall was now 3 inches short width wise and short over 3 feet in lenght and he said to fill it in w/wood...no its a wall not trim area . I couldnt believe what i was hearing. Then he put the light sconces up .I inch from the ceiling so they are not centered nor even with distance..looks like someone cant see judgement or measure.I even showed him where to place. The best is they were also put up upside down and mud still existed which was not sanded around that whole area.You put up lights in the wrong spot,upside down and drywall not completed.hmm something is wrong here. Then he ruined two brand new stairs and never told me and then when i told him the second day he filled in with wood marker. Not exceptable these were only 1 month old . The drywall bows so the trim I want up would be hard to put up now as the width goes from 2 inches to 2 1/4 back to 2....so the drywall has to come down for many reasons. I have had to stay at my sons for 5 evenings due to the drywall dust and his lack of tarping. I had to hire a cleaning lady to come in and it took to WET cleanings and 26 hours. In every corner,cabinet knick nacks, brand new shades in 4 rooms .I have ebony furniture and leather dining room seats and it still could use one more cleaning. He did see the mess he left due to his poor work and i showed him around the house and he refused to believe he left that mess. So what is he trying to do to my mind....He still wanted to get paid and then asked for only 1/2. I told him AFTER i have three men look at his work. Well,after the cleaning and the men looking -I refuse and told him that. As for today I called him and left a message for his insurance companies name as I am in 750 debt between cleaning ,damage and not even reflecting on my health or inconvenience. I have my other guy coming back in two weeks as he is out of town now,but he will be doing the work. I do pay and pay extra(tip) when my guys have done a good job and I told Eric this.Its quite a shame and i am not a happy person with his quality.I went to the dr yesterday and yep....drywall did alot to my asthma...thanks Eric I promise I will never call you for service -still waiting for your insurance company number-have photos and documentation from all parties to back me up.My overall......TERRIBLE_NIGHTMARE!!! He never completed the job and what he did is all wrong,not only in my eyes but by three contractors.
