Any positive review you see will come from only people that share his last name and are supporting him in his scamming scheme. he was supposed to fix this house, instead left all the materials he "purchased" outside to get rained on and mold up. He pocketed 99% of the money and screwed my mom out of her house that she will now lose because of him. He claims his "faith" is a big part of his life. Yeah right. What a joke of a person.

I hired a Jason back in February to do a substantial amount of work on my home. In total I have…read morepaid over $20K. Initially he did a great job working hard and getting a lot done. But when I started to run low on money he started showing up less and less. What I didn't know was that the State of Maine requires contractors to create contracts for any work over $2,500. I did an initial walk through with Jason detailing what I wanted done. A contract was never signed as I was not aware that needed to happen. He left a slew of items undone. On top of that the flooring that he put in throughout 50% of my house was subpar. The ceramic tile kept "popping" and the grout kept crumbling. I have had numerous contractors come to my home to tell me that ceramic tile should have never been installed on my flooring. But Jason initially assured me that he could install. After 3 months of walking on this floor it was very clear that he didn't do good work and I agreed with the other contractors that had come in. I reached out through text message to Jason that he needed to do something about this floor and what he had left me with was unacceptable and that I thought he should use his LLC to reimburse me. Upon investigating I discovered that he didn't have a LLC which he advertises to have one online. Jason fully admitted to rushing my floor and messing it up. He scheduled a time with me to come and talk about it and I had a cousin join that was familiar with contracting and could be there to witness. Jason agreed to pay me $3700 for the floor, pull the old flooring up, and finish what he hadn't yet done. We did a walk through and he agreed on everything I had pointed out. A week later, on 8/15, when he showed up to start pulling up the floor he didn't come with a check and I asked him to bring it. Every day after that through 8/20 when I asked him for a check he flat out ignored me. He sent other workers to my house to pull up the floor and didn't even pull it all up. Jason knows that I need that money to put new flooring down as he literally took all my money. I informed him on Thursday 8/20 that if I didn't have a check by the end of the day on Friday 8/21 that I would be seeking legal recourse. To include the flooring portion and the remainder of unfinished work. He didn't answer. I have pictures of his awful work, snapshots of conversations of him admitting to rushing my floor and messing it up, and snapshots of him ignoring me asking for my check. Additionally he was doing work on my father's house which he did not complete or have me sign a contract for either. On Tuesday 8/27 he had one of his workers hand me a bill for the work that he did at my father's IN APRIL. I paid the Jason in full for the work that is still not done and my father's house remains unfinished. I'm having to start a gofundme to fix my floor and help with legal fees, I am learning home improvement techniques to finish what he started, and I am relying on family to assist me in what I cannot do on my own.

My husband and I hired Jason in mid September to do a job that he said would take less than a week…read more More than a week later he was not finished and I had to leave town. I left him a check for the remainder of the project. A mistake! When I returned two weeks later I saw that he had done some work but had only completed about 2/3 of the project. Not only that, he deviated from the plans my husband had drawn up. Before I left I made sure he was clear on the details of what we expected. The last time we saw him was in early October when roofing was delivered. Last contact via text was the first week of November. He frequently had excuses for not showing up such as, at the doctor, family member had a brain bleed, trailer was stolen, someone was holding his trailer and wouldn't give him access, etc. Asked for the return of a reasonable amount of money but have not seen a cent so I am taking him to small claims court. I hope everyone who has been ripped off by this man takes legal action. Call the sheriff's office and report it.

I scheduled an appointment, but the company reached out to reschedule because they were busy, which I understood and agreed to move it to the following day.

I eventually had to call and text for an update, only to be told they were unable to come out again. I understand that things happen, but having to reschedule twice and not receiving communication until I reached out myself was disappointing. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional and was frustrating as a customer who was trying to get a needed repair completed.

Buyer beware. These folks padded the bill on an annual furnace service that required a minor…read morerepair. The technician spent 1.5 hours (by his own admission), but billed for 2.25 hours because (the fine print on the invoice revealed) we were charged for his travel time from his previous job to our location. We were also charged a dispatch fee. Neither the dispatch fee nor the travel charge were disclosed when we booked the appointment. This resulted in about $167.00 padding on an already hefty bill. The client, my mother, is a frail senior on a fixed income. Bilking seniors is not a good look, A-1. Oh, and showing up to a job drenched in cologne (I believe it was patchouli, to which both my mother and I are allergic) is decidedly unprofessional.
