Hired Eric to finish my 5x7 bathroom. What a mistake!! Initially quoted $3500 to redo the floor and wall tiles, replace some drywall and put in new faucets. I also asked for him to install a toilet after the initial estimate. The total came out to thousands more plus thousands in added materials because he did tasks I did not ask for him to do - eg. rewired wall light to be on ceiling , ripped out vanity, etc.
The work he did do was poor. He scratched the bathtub requiring me to purchase and install a new one. The tiles are completely uneven and not level with the wall. They are also covered in grout in spots and he installed chipped tiles. The floor tile is missing grout in spots. He somehow got grout on multiple areas of the hallway walls requiring me to sand and repaint those walls as well.
He made multiple holes in my wall and just left them for me to fix. The mud for the drywall was not properly applied, smoothed or sanded. I had to remud the walls and sand before painting.
The vanity was installed with a large gap between the vanity and the wall. He also cut a large hole in the vanity so I cannot even move the vanity to make it flat against the wall or centred.
When requested to fix the problems, he refused. He did offer to put a lien on my house though.
