    this man is clearly an experienced SCAMMER. he showed up to our house (joined by a young and older man) and lied his way into gaining our business. I stupidly paid him before the job was done and he left 30 minutes later. He completed less than a quarter of the work we had agreed to and the place looked an absolute mess. He was extremely pushy and disrespectful throughout the process, and I wish we would have caught the red flags sooner. Please be smarter than we were and BEWARE of this man!
