Communication could be better

We hired him out of desperation to complete a bathroom renovation, we fail to communicate effectively the work that was needed (leave the bathroom fully functional) if you hire him, I would be very clear and repeat several times what you expect at the end. He initially quote $900 and after he added all the additionals that he did, the final amount was $2,300 - abusive.

Approximate cost of services:
$2,300.00

Company Response

Hello and thank you for your review. We are very sorry that you feel that the level of communication was not sufficient.

We do recall this job, and after reviewing your account, we can see that emails were sent for the first stage of work (listing everything off that was to be completed and their cost).

Then a second list of things was emailed after speaking with your husband the morning of the work. In none of these emails did it list out the completion of the shower.

We usually consider the listing out of items over email to be a sufficient way of ensuring everyone is on the same page, but we appreciate your feedback and will re-evaluate our process to ensure it's more clear next time. Thank you for your compliments on the work that we did complete.

Incomplete job and charged more than quote

We hired him out of desperation to complete a bathroom renovation. He said he could do it. He sent a list of things to do, as he progress he decided he didn't want to do everything and that we hire a professional plumber to finish the work. He didn't want to install the shower head and bath spout as it was not started properly (previous guy) and supposedly he didn't know how to do it (but he did charge to open 3 windows in the back to fix it to don't break the tiles.. but then he was not planning to install it??) he said that was not in his list. We did ask him to finish all the bathroom initially but he chose which items to do and leave the work unfinished and charged us extra for items that he decided not to include in the list in the first place. Terrible experience.
