I hired a contractor
I hired a contractor, Darren Lucas from surface Specialists. He told me what he was going to have to do to get the job done and wrote it in the contract. I hired him to do work on two bathrooms and a kitchen. The work he told me he was going to do, included moving the door in my basement bathroom, but he after the contract was signed and he started doing the work, he did not have to move the door, but he still charged me. He also told me the plumbers he was hiring would cost $10,000 to redo the stack and rough in the plumbing for the basement bathroom, but when I got the invoice for that, the plumbers only charged $4,100. On the main bathroom, he said he was going to have to tear out the floor to get to the bathtub drain so he could replace it, but he didn't need to take out the floor because he could do it from the basement as the pipes were accessible from below, but he still charged me for the work he didn't have to do. In the kitchen he stated in the contract that he would put in a tile backsplash, but in the middle of the project, he started saying he didn't factor that into the cost, I pointed out that the contract stated that was included, He didn't end up doing the backsplash, even though I paid for it. He charged us for countertops that I paid for myself. All in all, the work he did was just okay, he left the basement bathroom undone, because he didn't fix the wall he damaged while running electric and the mud and tape job was shotty. I would never recommend Darren to anyone because of the way he cheated me out of several thousand dollars and by charging me for work he never did. I feel terrible because I didn't catch on until it was too late, I've asked to get some of my money back, and he told me that was not an option.
