Then he cancelled again, and then the third time I STILL asked for a reschedule. He said he had stomach surgery, which is totally understandable, so I asked him to reschedule. Instead, Doug just said he didn't want to do my project anymore. This is after waiting for months, we agreed on a price that included my disabled veterans discount, I bought all the materials, and made plans to vacate my house. Absolutely unbelievable. Horrible experience and incredibly unprofessional. Breached our implied contract. UPDATE: I wrote this review after Doug cancelled on me as explained above. Doug then tried to make a deal where he would reschedule IF I took this review down. I said I would be happy to take the review down once he actually completes the job he said he would do. This is totally reasonable. At that point, he said no never mind I don't want to do it, which implies he had absolutely no intention of doing the work and was just trying to get me to take this review down. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS MAN!

Do these photos look 85% complete? Last week, Cary breached our contract and walked away when I pushed to understand when the work would be completed after *months* of delays. He didn't pick up my phone calls and when he said he'd call back, he didn't. Cary is all lip service. He will tell you about the high quality work he does and then give you every excuse in the book about why he can't work or why the work is delayed (my favorite: his dog stole his glasses from his bedside table). He will quote his wife's great-grandmother saying, "people are incredible, they can see a fly sitting on someone's head but they can't see an elephant sitting on their own nose." Um, what? The amount of time and money I have wasted is infuriating. I trusted Cary and was patient with him and he took advantage of that. This is how he left my apartment, which previously had a fully functioning bathroom and kitchen. A totally destroyed mess with paint all over the new floors, rotting food in the fridge, and cigarette butts outside the entryway. Don't waste your time dealing with his mismanagement and poor communication. I have never felt so disrespected or violated in my life. The fact that his business is called The Expert Craftsman is laughable.

Some of them came with rocket high price for my little 600 sqft project, some others came and visited but never bothered with a quote, some were a good match but were not available with my timeline. Wilfredo was nice and flexible to meet me during evening after work and evaluate my project. He is not that type of person who scares you with "professional terms". In fact, he doesn't talk much at all, he listened to what I wanted, got straight down to measurement, and provided verbal quote on the spot and followed with email formal quote. I scheduled my work a few days later and they showed up on time, again, without much talking, straight down to work. In the middle of the process I changed my mind on floor color, and he was able to accommodate to the change right away with a reasonable change in price which I agreed to. He went to buy the color I wanted and started coating. My project was completed in 1 day which is huge to me...I don't know how other flooring guys would have done it but I know there are guys telling me that he needed 5 days even with water based paint. Im not too familiar with flooring but I know that I am very satisfied with the result. Would hire them again on the next project.

Before hiring a contractor, I talked with several flooring companies and general contractors, and Wilfredo left me a very good first impression because of his professionalism and honesty in giving advise. As a plus, he could also work on other projects besides flooring- he is able to put ceilings in my basement as well. Although he didn't offer the lowest price, my husband and I still decided to work with him since we trusted him. The finished works are very well done and they are even above my expectations.

Chris has an excellent personality, very impressive on professionalism, that being said, a lot was said that wasn't written down.

We gave Chris the key to the house as we would be away for the Thanksgiving week. He sent pictures with the progress and we felt good about all that. We Venmoed the entire amount out of trust. When we got home we were shocked to find only the piano, 2 small couches and dinning room tables were put back. Oh and semi gloss not Satin finish that we agreed upon. Chris said: oh well we can come back for free to fix that when you move. What? I called Chris immediately to find out why everything wasn't put back ? Chris said: That would be a curtsey call. WHAT ?
