- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- Unanswered
Raymond Smith was hired by my mother about 3 months ago to paint her cement patio at ************* in ***** **. Her patio is about 20 feet by 20 feet in size. Smith provided an estimate of $800 for the job. Over the next 3 months, Smith had to return 3 more times because he came with incorrect materials and/or didn't have the right equipment to do the job. Throughout this process, Smith never gave my mom any updated cost estimates. When Smith completed the job 3 months later, he gave my mom an invoice for $2000.00. He never told my mom that the final cost would be that high. In all, it took 4 visits to complete the job. Smith is claiming $1700 in labor costs. The attached invoice doesn't show total hours he worked on this project. When asked what his hourly rate was, he became verbally abusive with me. When asked why he didn't give my mom updated estimates, he became more abusive. He has no contractor license and I believe he is taking advantage of the elderly in this 55+ community
