We are very disappointed with Ryan Levine. At first, we hired him to install canned lighting in our kitchen. He did okay with that but really overcharged us for putting in 4 lights. We also had him do some exterior work around the chimney siding where woodpeckers had done damage. That work was just "ok" and could have been better.
The inside walls of the house had never been painted by anyone except me. I had painted the family room and dining room. We hired Ryan to paint the living room, dining room, kitchen, front entry and the stairwell. We hired him to repair the drywall that was needing any repairs. Ryan did all this paint work himself. It took him a very long time to complete. The work he did was "subpar"! He got paint on my floors and on the woodwork - because he did not tape off these areas. The paint is still there. I am not happy about this! The wall repair work was not good. There are also paint drips all over my walls now - and there never used to be any drips. Ryan also missed several areas of paint. I'm not sure if he needs eye glasses to paint or what, but my walls do not look good. And I'm at the point now that, even if he were to offer to redo my walls, I will not let him. I don't want him making anything else worse than it is.
Another issue we had with Ryan concerns the changing out of the wall outlet switch plates. That actually took Ryan almost 4 months to finally complete - due to him not coming out to complete the job. We had already paid him in full, even though we tried to hold back money.
Honestly, I will not use Ryan Levine again for any more projects. He may seem like a nice guy, but as far as his business goes, I have doubts. I need to add, that there were many, many days that he wouldn't even start his work day until after noon or 1 pm. He would text us with some excuse that he'd be arriving later. And then he would end up staying into our dinner time which we did not like.
In summary, what started out to be a good thing, turned into a real disappointment for us! I would highly recommend you find someone with a BIG company, with a good reputation, who can come in and get your work done for you in a timely and efficient manner. read more
