I had a very disappointing experience with this contractor. I was quoted one price for the work,…read morebut without my knowledge or approval, I was later charged a completely different and much higher amount. There was no written change order, no explanation, and no communication about the price increase beforehand. I was looking for someone to tape, texture, and paint a three-stall garage. I already had a written bid for $3,800 from another contractor when, through word of mouth, I contacted Dahlman Drywall. I told him it was a three-stall garage, gave the address and the dimensions & Schematic from the city of Moorhead. He initially gave me a bid of $5,900. He later followed up asking if he had the job. I told him no, that I already had another bid and planned to go with them. He asked how much the other bid was, and after I told him, he said in a text" OK well I would be willing to come in at 3600 if I can start it Tuesday and its heated". undercutting the other contractor. I pointed out that the other contractor had not seen the garage yet, so I sent him a full video walkthrough of the space and said I would like grey on the walls. After reviewing the video, he gave me a revised bid of $3,725.28, which I accepted. At that point, the job was his. To clarify in the estimate, he has the full dimensions I provided knowing the height of the ceiling. His estimate states: "to include the door frames". Door frames were not done. After the work was completed, I received a final invoice for $8,812.05. The invoice explanation given was that he "didn't know how big of a job this was." This is unacceptable. He received a full video, provided a revised estimate, and personally performed the work in the garage. If there was an issue with the scope of the job, it should have been addressed on day one, not after the job was finished. This experience lacked transparency, communication, and professionalism. I would strongly caution others to get everything clearly documented in writing and to be very careful with final pricing. To make matters worse, instead of explaining or resolving the issue, the contractor placed a lien against my house with no clear breakdown or justification of the charges. This was extremely stressful and unprofessional. Transparency and communication are critical when dealing with someone's home and finances, and unfortunately, neither was provided here. I would strongly caution anyone considering using this contractor to get everything in writing and monitor charges very closely.
