I hired the owner, ***************, to do a small remodeling job for $10K. He did not provide me with a written contract. He used totally unskilled laborers, unsupervised who did absolutely horrible work. The drywall was partially attached to studs, with much of it free-floating. They applied thick coats of mud that now have to be sanded down. When I complained, I got excuses. He said he was training them and they had to learn from mistakes. But he was never there to teach them. He never told me that his workers were unskilled. Also, he kept asking me for more money after the initial $5K was paid, always had a story, like his workers had to pay their rent until I had paid the entire $10K and the job was far from finished. In the end, the job was left undone, it is a complete mess that I have to fix. I only want the public to know so this does not happen to someone else.
