Dave's Consruction

we hired dave to do our home reno. He told us that he could do anything...including deconstruction, tiling, plumbing,electrical etc. He also told us he works with a crew which we never saw. mostly he came by himself and occasionally brought along what he refereed to as an apprentice. usually guys from his church or guys that did so so work. overall we found him to be a low quality handyman who tried passing himself off as a general contractor. the quality of his workmanship was horrible,(9uneven cuts,joints,tiling, walls...etc
). Everyday we are reminded of how unlucky we where to hire him simply by looking throughout our home and having to leave with his terrible sloppy job. We recently hired a pro to rip out most of the tile work he did at a considerable expense to us. I would strongly recommend against using him as you will pay for it in the end.

I met dave in dece3mber 2010. He was quoting another reno but my friend decided not to use him. I wish i had made the same smart choice. He should up late for a scheduled home appt on a house that my friend bought but hadn't closed on yet. This guy didn't even bring a tape measure with him he had to borrow one. I was having a tough time finding a contractor for my home and my friend said dave was a nice guy but was his second pick. So i decided to meet with him and he seemed hungry for the work. The scope of the work was first deconstruction which doesnt involve much skill and he was good at that. As the job progressed we started noticing sloppy workmanship and started calling him on it. He claimed to be able to do it all and stupidly i allowed him to. His tiling work was garbage(i ripped out all the granite he installed and hired a pro tile guy to redo it). His drywalling was uneven, baseboards and trim work i still look at and curse him for. Overall he is nothing more then a handyman that passes himself off as a contractor. Learn from my mistake and hire a real company not this second rate worker.
