EJ Renovations

We hired Elias to do a remodel of our master and main bathrooms. He requested a deposit (which is normal) and made another request for more money two days into the job? (not normal) The first few days went well as this was only demo and some minor drywall work. When he stared the floor and wall tiles. his total lack of professional skill and ability became very apparent. The tiles were not flush, the gaps were so close you could barely get grout in. The edging was very poor, wall to tile gap was so big there was some extra moulding required to repair. We asked for a niche to be installed and I supplied the material for them. He could not even make the niche as requested. I even told him and gave him sketches of how to do it!!. When I pointed these things out he made excuses as if I did not know the process or anything about quality. I found this to be insulting and very unprofessional. I requested him to replace the material for the niche as well remove and reinstall the tiles that he butchered. When I inspected his rework I noticed more deficiencies and told him that this work was unacceptable and terminated the contract. I told him that I expected a reimbursement to which he replied he would do calculations to see if any reimbursement was due. After not hearing from him for a week. I contacted and after determining that he had only invested a little over $1000 in material, I requested reimbursement of $2000. His reply was that he did not feel anything was due but would pat $500. Due to the lack of honesty, professional skills and personal integrity, I would not recommend EJ Renovations for any work.
