DO NOT hire this company! They never finished a project that I hired them to do and the contractor…read morehad required 100% payment in advance. I ended up having to finish the project myself and expend more funds as a result. The owner/contractor never answered my texts inquiring when he would be returning to complete the work. I sent him a bill for my expenses to finish the job and he never paid it or acknowledged receiving it. Nor has he volunteered to refund money paid up front for work not finished. Some of his work wasn't very good so I had to correct that too. I give this company one BIG ZERO for a rating. I don't care what past good ratings he's gotten. If you hire him don't pay him everything in the beginning even if he says that's his way because in the past he's been stiffed by customers not paying the full bill at the end.

I directed my request to local handymen and that same day, within an hour or so, Mr. V responded . Another local responded initially but otherwise, I didn't hear anything else. Mr. V and I exchanged info and I had an appointment for 3 days later. He called me close to the appointment because he was worried he'd be late but he really wasn't. Thank God he had a partner because I should have told him that the new bed is adjustable. They quietly and quickly started after I showed what I needed and they both were were fast, professional and respectful. They were just really nice people and I felt really comfortable having them in my space.. which for me is rare. Mr. V even took the time to go to his vehicle for a missing screw and he read the instructions and taught me about the bed himself. He paired the remote and finished up by removing trash and the old bed to where I indicated. It really was a great experience. I actually forgot to post this review. I got busy with the rest of my many tasks to get ready for my apt to be renovated. When I finish I'm going to place another service request, so watch out for it Sir!

Not trustworthy, doesnt follow regulations, overpriced, poor communication…read more Reached out to Mike because I remember seeing his truck in the parking lot at City Church. The "main number" I texted apparently is answer by Mike sometime and his office manager Stephanie other times. Problem is they dont communicate with each other very well, if at all. Based on convo, was talking to Mike for a couple of days. Needed, what i thought, was simple furniture assembly for an armoire purchased from Wayfair. He quoted me a rate of $125 per hour. Sent him the assembly video and confirmed it would require two people given the size of some of the pieces. Appointment day rolls around and only one worker is sent. Texted the main number and Stephanie replies. Rescheduled for another day and the worker comes back with his teenage son Now, according to the Wayfair website and reviews by other purchasers, one buyer and his 14 yo son managed to do the job in 4 hours. Wayfair estimates it takes a handy homeowner 6 hours to complete the job. took Mike's "professional" and his helper 8 hours to do the job. Was never told the rate went up to $175 for the 2nd person involved. so an $1100 purchase cost another $1400 to assemble using Mike 's guy and his teenager. Was never given an estimate of how long it would take based on the video provided. Was never told of the higher rate -- just "Furniture assembly is $125 per hour). Problem is, VA law requires a licensed contractor to provide a written estimate of the cost of the work undertaken and a timeframe for completion neither were provided, yet he is still insisting on full payment of $1400. No discount for wasting our afternoon when he failed to send 2 workers the first day, no discount for a teenage worker. No considerations for the fact no estimate was ever provided. If the VA board of contractors says I should pay $1400, Ill pay $1400. But not paying a penny till they weigh in on his practices.
