This nasty cowboy came to quote the job, and overpromised that he was going to give me "perfection". Both my boarder and painter heard that. And he advised me to withdraw this job from builderscrack, otherwise he will have to pay for builderscrack, which i didn;t agree. The first day he started, he broke ALL my shirtings in the hallway. Once i found it, i told him that if he can't put them back as original, He is not getting paid. He picked up all his tools and left. Everyone there watched him leave and laughed at him. Before i put up this review on builderscrack, i called him few time was going to advise him that he left his hammer at my place. But he called me dick and hung up. Very nasty. pls be aware. ******************************************************** LIE #1, you nasty wanker, when you were taking the skirtings off, I was out to buy lunch for you and the skylight guy, I was so nice to you, even gave you cigrets. When i got back, i have seen a few shirtings broken on the floor. He then told me there were too many nails in there. I told him all the nails are visiable and he should have taken that into consideration before he knock it down. also I told him to put them back, He said "remember, i told you will give you perfection". Then the next day morning, He told me to buy paint and new shirtings. I then told him no and he breaks them, he needs to put them back on without charging me extra. otherwise he is not getting paid. He then chosed to leave. LIE #2. how would he know his quote is $400 cheaper than the other tradesman? I never discuss quote between tradesmen. I think he should have heard what i said. I said I dont negociate with tradesmen, because they will shortcut the job if the price is negociated. So this guy is a fucking lier. LIE #3, you started at 11am on 05/11 (saturday) and worked for half day, and how come you put the quote up on 9th? You voluteerly dropped the price and requested not to go through builderscrack, because you want to secure the job. I told you I am not going to do it. Now you know you why. because I give fair comments to tradesmen. LIE #4, you quoted me for $800 excluding the laminate floor, I have no idea where you get $1800 and $1500 from?!!You should be a film director, making all sorts of story up!! My boarder was saying you look cheap. And now I am telling you, you do look cheap! and you should blame on yourself for the rubbish work you have done. I had to spend another $140 to buy paint and new shirtings and $60 labor for the other handyman to put them up. LIE #5, I called him at least 3 times this morning tried to tell him there is a hammer here. He answered the first time, when he realized that was me, then he said "dick" then hung up, since that was an 0800, so i called 2nd and 3rd time. But he didn't answer. You know what, I will just give it to the next tradesman. You dont look like the guy can afford $150 hammer.
