Nick Howson aka Axpera Contracting/Howson Homes was hired to do $200,000 in renovations. He disappeared back in December 2018 without completing the work he was paid in full for (i.e. cabinet boxes without doors/counter/backsplash). The work he did do is falling apart and now has to be redone (i.e. cracking and broken tile grout, installed door won't open/close properly, splitting drywall). He also kept our house keys. He can't be reached by phone and he occasionally emails with false promises to complete the work and return the keys but he never follows through. He is a smooth talker but his actions speak for themselves. I made a serious and costly mistake hiring this unprofessional and dishonest contractor.
