Campbell Contracting

Ben is a pleasant guy but a very s l o w worker and procrastinator. I hired him because he could start right away and he was contracted to tile the floor in my front foyer, my laundry room and to install the backsplash on my kitchen. These are all small spaces, less than 220 sqft total. By any reasonable estimate, the job should have taken 2-3 days. It took him 4 weeks. He’d only show up for 2 hours at a time or make up an excuse not to show up at all. One time, he didn’t see my car in the driveway - didn’t bother to knock or notice the door wide open for him - so he skipped out that day. Or other unexplained “something came up.” Said he would finish a certain job in one day and then end up leaving earlier because of his kid, another job, needing to pick up supplies, etc, & wouldn’t return, leaving me waiting & not able to leave to run my own errands or do much else with my day. Every day was something new and this is how a couple of days turned into 5 weeks. He truly did a lovely job with the floor in the foyer, really took his time to make sure they were perfect, but once he got to the laundry room and the backsplash on the kitchen, he got sloppy with the spacing. There are gaps & holes in the grout, & grout left smeared over all the tiles. I think he was getting bored of the job - while we had some mishaps with the backsplash tile (which we remedied within 24 hours) he’d dragged everything out so long, he stopped trying and our communication broke down toward the end. Once I paid him, he left. He didn’t bother putting the doors back on the hinges (7 of them) and ignored all my requests to come back and do so. All the screws for the doors are missing, can’t be found anywhere. & don’t know what it will cost me to pay someone else to do it.

When I called he even picked up & hung up on me on a 3 second call. It’s too bad. I wanted to leave a glowing review for a nice man, but he just didn’t do the job that I paid him for and he took forever and a day to do it. I’m without laundry for over a month now. Almost set my stove on fire doing the backsplash, with cardboard laid out over it. Thankfully, I smelled it & saw the smoke! Took days to scrub out the damage on my brand new oven. I also had several more jobs for him to do next, but I decided it was not in my best interest to continue. I’m leaving this review here so other people (especially those with more exacting standards and a stricter timeline) can make an informed decision.

Ben was able to completely strip and resurface our deck. He worked through some extremely hot weather, I melted long before he did.

The work was very well finished, he even sanded edges of the deck boards, which was something that I considered above what I expected.

He knows what he’s doing and can deliver the results to prove it.

Great work. Had a whole bathroom redone and enlarged. Done in a timely fashion with lots of knowledge and expertise.

I am very pleased to recommend Ben for your renovation, whether interior or exterior. His attention to detail is exceptional, and he always goes the extra mile to please. He insists on quality product that ensures a highly finished result.

He is very conscious about using all materials in the most budget friendly mode.

I highly suggest that you endorse Ben as your contractor!
