Jerry built a fireplace build-out for us. In doing so, he not only did a terrible job, but after completing the job demanded more money.
We were looking to have build-out made for our fireplace. We got quotes from a few contractors, and despite him being more expensive, we thought since he was an older gentleman who was well spoken, he would be honest and experienced. Turns out, he not only has terrible craftsmanship, but is a shady contractor who tries to squeeze and intimidate his clients afterwards.
He tried to squeeze me after the job by demanding more money than the original agreed upon amount because the job “implied a higher cost”. Jerry tried to come up with random expenses after completing the job and demanding more money by becoming aggressive and abusive.
Regarding his workmanship, it sucks. The build-out he made was entirely crooked. It was so crooked that the tile guy has his work cut out for him because of Jerry’s shoddy work.
Overall, they’re cheaper, more honest, and finer craftsman out there, who not only will do a better cheaper and better job, but won’t try to intimidate and try to squeeze money out of their clients. We made the mistake of hiring this buffoon, and writing this review so you all can be warned.
I made a quote to home owner's son Tony to build a 2 by 6 wall for insertion of a fireplace a for TV set to be installed above fireplace. 3 days later Tony confirmed that the quote is accepted and that the build out is to be built of 2 by 10 lumber.
The wall was constructed as per his wishes, several changes were made according his specification, the wall was insulated (Tony supplied the insulation), reinforced and clad by cement board 7/8 sheets as we agreed upon. At the end of the job, I talked to Tony's father and left bills from home depot showing the expenses related to the build out. Very carefully, pleasantly and in non aggressive manner I asked Tony's father to talk to his son about increasing the agreed upon price to higher amount on account of the 10 inch lumber which was used. The original price I suggested should be raised by $ 400 although even $200 would suffice.
At that time I received a partial payment for my work and material. Several days later, after urging Tony by texting him to pay the balance PLUS the $200 for the cost of more expensive lumber, he promised to pay. The payment arrived for the original amount quoted and I replied that the cost of lumber was higher. Words and text messages were exchanged. This for $200!!!
While undertaking a total kitchen reno, the contractor I hired for the job left me hanging on two of the final elements - kitchen backsplash installation and countertops. Thankfully a friend of mine had used Jerry for another project and spoke highly of his work, so I contacted him.
You can tell right off the bat that Jerry is an experienced professional, who is dedicated to doing the best job possible. He came to my home to look at the space and provide a quote, even making suggestions on where I could find the tiles I was looking for. And when I was complaining about not having someone to do my counter tops, he connected me to someone in his network.
When completing the install, he took care to cut tiles in my garage to minimize dust and debris. He also checked in with me to discuss where the backsplash would end since we didn't talk about that during the initial consult.
I give him 10/10 for service and workmanship. So glad I contacted him because my kitchen looks stunning.
Jerry just renovated my fireplace and I was very happy with his services. He was very professional and did a amazing job. He cleaned up didn't make a mess and is very trust worthy. I would def recommend him going forward.
Thanks again for everything Jerry!
The workmanship was excellent. The job did not take a very long time and was done on budget even with some alterations we had requested. The work area was well protected during the work and was cleaned up completely after the job was done. We appreciate that no damage was done to the hardwood flooring surrounding the fireplace and it was well protected during the job. We had an onsite visit to help us figure out what work was needed to be done and what materials would be required even before he was hired to the work. Overall we are very satisfied with the results and quality of the work and appreciate the very friendly attitude we received.
