Third, I sat in my lawn chair and watched the entire installation of my new driveway. The personal pride and attention to every little detail was amazing. The entire crew appeared to be "perfectionists". The roller operator must have gone over the driveway 10-12 times. He even got off his machine once to hand pick-up small pieces of asphalt that had gotten on the top skirt of the driveway. Fourth, my neighbor got a new driveway a few days later by a different company. I asked him if he would share how much he paid. It was $3,100 more than I paid for about the same sized driveway! This amount was in line with a number of the bids I had received. Can't go wrong here!!

There were some areas which required innovative ideas to resolve and he offered several creative solutions which worked out very well. I asked him to do some additional work such as hanging a curtain and suspending a picture from the ceiling and painting several additional rooms and he, without any hesitation, agreed to do the work. He is very careful and a perfectionist in his work and at the same time worked very fast. He always cleaned up any mess after a day's work so that the area was very clean. His cost for the work done was very reasonable. I love my new basement; it is absolutely transformed due to his work. I highly recommend his work for any renovation. Sincerely, Meghabhuti Roth, M.D.

When I asked him what company it was with, he said "Pro Roofing & Inspections". I scheduled the appointment for 8/21/2023 (only to find out what company was behind this intrusive call). He called me back from a different # on 8/19/23 to confirm the appointment and then. A couple hours later, I received a text message (from a totally different #) reminder of the appointment. At no time did I agree to receive text messages. None of the 3 different phone numbers were able to be called back. On 8/21/2023, "PJ" from Earth Friendly Builders LLC showed up at my door with his son (I have the encounter on video). I explained to him that I did not need a roof inspection and inquired about the call. He told me they had a call center that calls residents in storm areas to set appointments for their roofers. My phone number has been on the National Do Not call Registry since 2006 and it is unlawful to call my wireless # without my consent. This company is breaking the law in order to gain customers! I would not recommend using this company, or any other company, that disregards the laws set forth to protect the consumers that they claim to be trying to help. I also encourage everyone to report this company to the regulating authorities! To date, this company has chosen to ignore this issue.

I had remodeled the bathroom at our previous house, so I have a good handle on what is involved, but we were too busy to take it on ourselves. I solicited 5 or 6 bids and Mark's seemed the most professional but also the highest cost. I highlighted that this was our ONLY bathroom and speed was the utmost priority and that ideally I would like the project done in like weeks not months. Mark didn't express much concern over timeline. Now there were some materials shortages, and COVID and whatever, but it was just excuse after excuse, with sometimes no one showing up for a month at a time. And the strong impression was this project just wasn't organized or a priority. They didn't start for over 5 weeks, and when called on it, I was told that the timeline we discussed was for starting the project, not finishing it. I wish I had recorded our initial conversation, because it seemed he took crummy notes and then later reinterpreted them to suit his needs. Nearly 2 months into the project he expressed surprise this was our only bathroom and sort of sheepishly asked what we had been doing in the meantime (going to neighbors houses we are friends with). How that CORE piece of information I had stressed repeatedly during our first few meetings had slipped his mind, I have no idea. He the said he would hurry to finish. Then no one showed up for 3 straight weeks. We nearly fired him about three different times, including in mid JAN promising to have the shower done by Valentine's day (we hired him first week of OCT). Needless to say that deadline was totally missed by a month or more. Moreover key elements discussed during the planning stage were simply forgotten by him (tile wainscoting), and then when asked about them several months in he had to scramble. Early on in late OCT he had stressed the need for us to drop everything and go pick out tile so he could order it and have it there by mid NOV. Then MONTHS later when he was actually ready to install the tile (JAN), the project again had to go on hold because he had not ordered it yet... This is despite repeatedly asking him if he needed us to order tile, or front cash for materials to speed things along (not sure if he was having cashflow issues or what). Anyway, once the project was 95% done, they just had to install a glass divider (another element he had forgotten about). So that was another several weeks, then when they came to install it, they had cut it for the wrong side of the room, the side away from the shower...so more weeks to completion. By this point I couldn't even talk to him because I was so angry, but firing him when we were 98% seemed pointless. Anyway, I left it in my wife's hands, who he then took advantage of. Telling her he was giving us a "$1000 discount" for all the hassle, while charging her $300 more than the estimate and payment plan we had agreed on. This is despite us generally picking cheaper materials than were in his estimate and giving him wide latitude on specific choice just to try and speed things along. Hiring Mark was one of the 3-5 biggest mistakes I have made in my entire life. Worse than some car accidents I got into in my teens or that time I bought a super expensive bike right before we had a kid and I mostly stopped biking. The stress related to this has probably literally taken 6 months off of my life expectancy. I am serious.
