WARNING: Do not let this man or his crew into your home. I hired Pamel to finish my basement as a rental unit. He quoted the job and assured me he would personally do the work.
He sub-contracted the work out, where my nightmare begins. The framer was constantly hitting on me and making inappropriate comments. I later learned from another contractor onsite, that he was taking pictures of me with his phone from behind. I complained to Pamel, so he brought on another contractor. This is where the nightmare got worse...
My neighbour informed me that the replacement guy was smoking pot all day (in front of my neighbours kids). The work was EXTREMELY sloppy and they were already a month delayed. I again, raised my concern to Pamel who told his guy. The following day, I came home to a furious contractor who threatened me, and I quote "you shouldn't have ratted me out. Did you know I've been charged with manslaughter and assault? you don't want to mess with me".
I was single, and living alone and now frightened for my safety and the renovation is no where from being complete. I was losing money because I couldn't get a tenant until the basement was completed. Pamel completed the remainder of the work (4 months later) and it was the worst basement job you've ever seen.
This is the end result:
1. He framed the wall more than a foot out from my wall (to avoid bulkheads and corners), losing valuable square feet in the space. the 3 bedroom basement turned into one bedroom.
2. He did not insulate the exterior walls (or anywhere!), and 2 months later my pipes froze and I had to call in an emergency plumber and contractor to remove the bathroom wall, insulate and put the bathroom back together, costing me an additional $3000.
3. He did not instal a subfloor, (laminate on top of dirt ground) and there are gaping swells in the floor (not to mention bugs)
4. A full size bathroom (including tub) is now the size of a tiny powder room.
5. I could not close my electrical permit with the ESA because of 20 electrical discrepancies! Which I flagged as he went along (he brushed me off as if I didn't know what I was talking about - not using tamper resistant outlets, dedicated breaker for appliances etc)
6. He framed in the cable outlet (even though I pointed it out) and no cable provider can legally phish it out,
7. After all of this, I cannot rent out my once legal rental unit. He did not insulate between floors, and you can hear a pin drop from the upper floors.
I've been forced to swallow thousands of dollars as a result of hiring Pamel Jones. This is the worst experience I have had, forcing me to take time off work due to the anguish and financial burden this caused me. Beware.
