Hagey Hardwood Flooring

Word of advise to anyone looking to hire Brandon.

Get a proper written estimate, and/or receipts of deposit for labour and material first!

After hiring Brandon to do a new staircase for my Mother (Senior woman) she decided to pay $5000 up front for the work. After some weeks had passed with a confirmed start date, and numerous calls and text messages that were not responded to, my Mother thought she was getting ripped off. At which point was recommended to her to ask for a written estimate or receipt of what she had paid (only had verbal agreement and text messages). This was never given to her, at which point she told Brandon she did not wish for him to start the work for her and return her money. With very little response, she ended up asking the local police for assistance, which they basically told her she was SOL. She managed to start getting installments back from Brandon after he stated he needed to return the materials. Going on 8 months later, she is still owed $600+ and was told he sent her all the money already and to re-check with her bank! So much more to this story to add, but will leave it at that with a suggestion to anyone looking to hire.
