This guy is a complete flim flam con artist and has stolen 3,000+ dollars from me then he split. Actually I paid him 5,500 dollars, the last 3K he took his tools and walked. He is also known as Billys handyman service also. He is a 55 year old roofing contractor from Connecticut. He has absolutely no training in framing, plumbing, electrical, or basically anything with a brain. He has "MOVED 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS" and I notice he has moved yet again, so that makes 6 times within 6 years! I'd guess he left the landlords on the hook also? He does this so he can steal from people and once he has your cash or service you cannot get your money back. You may get a lawful judgment, but you will not recover your money because he has nothing to lose, and moves every year. He lives with his girlfriend who has less ethics than he has. He'll promise you the world, which he couldn't do even if he tried. I hired him to remodel my 6 x 10 bathroom, all I got was the demo and about 12 2x4's He's a complete scammer from the beginning, to the bitter end. - RIPOFF. He cut 4" holes for 3" pipe. He wanted to put cheap Luan sheeting in the bottom of a shower stall? WTF? REALLY! He was going to cover my bathroom floor with the same cheap junk after he cut my bath floor into swiss cheese? The wall studs were not 90 degrees, and I later found out were never nailed to the roof joists - He was going to install the shower faucet inside of the outside wall of the house before I stopped him - Who's the expert? No insulation in anything. He left live wiring just HANGING on a step ladder - NO CHIT. I bought the vanity, all fixtures, shower door, all tile, rubber shower membrane. The list goes on. My FIRST experience with a contractor. He was quick with demo - Ha, Ha, what a ride..... He is not insured, or bonded, and he is not ethical, and has no proper training. I don't talk badly of anyone but this takes the cake, this guy. Just like all of those people on TV that got ripped off, this loser is right with the pack. He is untrained, he gets NOTHING accomplished. He goes home after 2 hours at the job site - he did this on a daily occurrence - NO JOKE. - that's not even a joke man! There is another complaint online were he stole some guys sailboat?? Crazy SOB. Losing over 3K really hurts in this economy, and to have to beg this loser to work off some of his payment I gave to him will twist you into knots. HE REFUSED of course, and now I'm confined to writing a bad review that reflects as badly on my choices, as it does on this thief. My guess is he's been in jail at some point? He has a temper also that you would be well advised to avoid. All of his helpers left him during my remodel, but you should realize he only had a helper on 3 days over the course of 3 weeks. He put in about 20 hours of total work himself and I paid him an additional 3K based on his word after we went to Lowes Hardware to HELP me to spend another 5,000 dollars on windows and doors he promised to install. - THATS WHEN HE BURNED ME AND LEFT WITH HIS TOOLS. after he left me hanging with all these doors sitting on my back deck getting rained on, what a F%$# mess. THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT - THIS WAS DELIBERATE THEFT. Steer clear of this dude - #1 do not give him any money pre-work, upfront like I did. read more
