We hired Bob to redo a bathroom and a few other very minor things in our house. From the beginning it was a problem. Bob told us before he hired us that he would work 7 hours a day. The most he ever worked was 2-3 hours a day. He never stayed beyond that, even after we asked him on 2 or 3 seperate occassions to stay longer so he could finish faster, he did not. He also told us it would be a 6 week project and it instead was a 10 week project. Nearly double what he said it would take. The thing that makes him completely unhireable and unreliable though is afterwards. He did not put our shower in up to code and therefore it leaks into our laundry room. We called him consistently and emailed for 2 months, and he never returned calls. My husband then happened to run into him at a store and Bob said he never recieved the calls or emails, even after confirming we had the correct number and address. He said, of course, he would come by and fix his work. That was 3 months ago and again, after a month of consistent calls and emails, he has never returned them. We have not been able to use our shower for almost 8 months now and we will have to pay over 1,000 to get the problem fixed. This is on top of paying Bob nearly 20K to do the work in our home. So I urge you, DO NOT use this man. He is incredibly friendly, that is the one thing going for him, but a lot of the work he does is not done well and when a major problem arises, he will not, repeat WILL NOT fix it and you will be our money. Please avoid this frustration and stress and hire someone else!
Pros: Very friendly
Cons: Does not finish work or return calls when a problem
