Rob is unpredictable. He did a great job on my floors and then I offered him the contract to do my kitchen. I put down 50% in January 2022 and another 25% in the first week of February 2022, expecting the cabinets and doors would be delivered as promised. He delivered the cabinets and doors complete in early April. Since then, he has done nothing.. He left the cabinets and doors, along with his tools, in my kitchen since May. Today, it's September 24, and the cabinets and his his tools are still laying in my kitchen untouched. Over the past 6 months, he has made so many false promises and excuses. Stay away from him. The photos were taken 5 months apart.
Robert comes off as knowledgeable and professional when quoting and starting a project. I had the experience of hiring Robert to install Hardwood flooring and Trim work. The original quoted price was $550.00 plus $100.00 to do the trim on my stairs. He mentioned he might need to put pads under the flooring where the doors met the hallway. That would be an additional $$120.00 when he finished the flooring he didn’t use the pads but tried charging me for them. The trim on stairs he started and then made excuses as to why he couldn’t make the cuts. He asked me if he could convince me and my wife to cut the Sides of the stairs so he could build the trim up and he could do it for $500.00 including material. We gave him the go ahead. It took him almost 3 months to come back and he made every excuse under the sun for not showing up or ignoring my calls. He came back and cut all of my stairs and then Started complaining about the costs of material going up. Then he worked for an hour and told me he had to come back the next day. That’s when all the excuses started. He even went as far to say he couldn’t finish for the quoted price which he tried to change to $500 plus material and he tried getting another $800.00. He sent me a text saying he wouldn’t come back to finish unless I renegotiated his original quote which I refused. This guy has no business skills whatsoever and he has caused thousands of dollars of damage to my stairs in the process.
After doing a wonderful kitchen renovation, I hired Robert to to do a basement wall. He quoted me a price and said "if I paid him $800.00 immediately, so he could buy the parts, he would start work in the next day or two." I have not seen or heard from him since.
I have tried several times to get hold of him. No luck.
I would have recommended him before. But not now.
While Robert did a wonderful job on my kitchen, there were an awful lot of delays. Mostly because he had so many THINGS happen to him.
He was late to arrive several times and sometimes a no-show. It would sometimes be 2 or 3 days before he called.
Yet, he was very good at adding antique doors to an otherwise useless area. If he could keep his act together he would have gone a long way.
Too many excuses why he was late for the kitchen job and too many broken promises for the kitchen and this job.
I am sorry to say I wouldn't trust him again.
Mr Plumley took my money and disappeared leaving me with a gutted basement, he was hired on June 11th 2017. Please beware, he took from us over 10 thousand dollars for a 12 thousand dollar job and has left us with a trashed house. One of the reviews listed above appears to be his mother. Please see the pictures attached. This is the condition he left my home in when he disappeared.
