He didn't actually come to my house to see the doors so he thought they needed to be sanded and restained. When the handyman arrived he told me the doors were not wood but metal and would need to be painted. Then the price went up $400 for painting instead of staining. He bought paint, which we had requested black, and he painted the first door. While the door was wet, it looked black. But the next day when he came back, the door was actually very dark brown. So we asked him to get the right paint. Which I got charged for again. He redid the threshold. He took the iron bars off the doors and sprayed them with black rustoleum. I asked him if he could putty some large cracks on two big columns on our front porch. He said he could patch the cracks with putty and then would paint. He ended up putting some kind of weird bonding material all the way around the base of the column and you could see some kind of fiber in the bonding and then he painted it. He did this without asking me first. I was not happy at all with the way it looked. They called me after the job was done and said they would come back and see what they could do to fix the patch job. It's been over a week now and I haven't heard a word from them. I wouldn't recommend for these reasons. They said if anything were to change as far as their quote to me went, it wouldn't be more than 10% of the estimate. They gave me a price of $2400 for the doors and then wanted $400 more for painting instead of staining. What's the big difference? The paint they charged me for, which was the wrong color, was only $6.00. Why the $400 up charge? They should've come out in the first place to see what the doors were actually made of instead of requesting pictures. You live and learn. I will not use them again. Very disappointed. I will say they eventually came down on the price after it went up, and it was about $2500 instead of $2900 which they were going to charge me. The doors look good. The threshold was left the dark brown color though and I had to repaint it myself with the black paint. The columns look terrible.

Brian was on time, super friendly and very professional (plus he was able to chat about football which made me feel much better about having a stranger in my house.) The projects were done perfectly and Brian even took the leftover packaging with him when he cleaned up. At $45 hour, I felt WSHR was a bargain and I would definitely recommend them!!

A friend told me about the laundry list of work they have done for him. He buys houses has Payless roofing fix them up then sells them and he has been working with them for years. From my experience with him he hires guys that just need a second chance and have been shunned and turned down every job they apply to. He works with guys that come here on work visas gives them a home and picks every one up for work in the morning. I've seen him give a homeless guy a job he just met on the street that offered to help him with some debris from my roof he asked me if it was ok. He was sober and eager to help and didn't seem to pose any safety risks. Im in social work so of course it was ok. He worked hard and the roof looks amazing. No more leaks! He even moved him into the house he rents for his other workers. Derek has a huge heart , quoted me much lower than other companies and my roof looks awesome.

Three days later I had to kick them off my property after realizing they literally had no clue what they were doing. I paid $1000 plus bought all materials including a sanding block, should have been a huge red flag that a professional contractor didn't even have something to sand with, his other company is a drywall company. Everything they touched they either broke or left in worst condition than found. On top of what I gave them and the need to pay a "real contractor" to come in and redo/fix their shoddy "work" I also had to pay for things they broke while they were attempting to do the work they said they could do. NO refund or compensation was offered even after admitting to not doing anything properly. The pictures do not even show all the damage they left behind. A complete and total mess that I had to continue to ask the workers to clean up after themselves. All in I was quoted $1500 and will end up paying almost $4000!!! Very expensive life lesson

I hired Anthony Beasley to do simple flooring work and build stairs. He claimed he had 2 guys that…read moreworked with him and wrote into the contract that he was going to replace subfloor. He gave me a start date which he did not start on. He cashed my $1200 deposit within an hour- first of many red flags. He informed me the hallway floor was so sloped he would need to build it up with subfloor too- add $700, I agreed as it was badly sloped. when i got home he had made the floor more level but it was underlay that he put right on the old pine floor, not subfloor. I was charged subfloor money for underlay. He did not take the underlay all the way to the edges, presumably he either didnt know how to jigsaw it out around the door jamb or didnt think to sawzall the door jamb to fit it. Finally the heater vent in the floor does not fit anymore he did not check it before screwing the plywood down and now it has to be removed and fixed. He had no other guys with him and so that is all that got done in 2 days. When asked he insisted it was subfloor, even though that goes directly on the joists, because it goes under the floor...that is not how that works at all. He said he didn't have other guys working with him to keep overhead down, so there goes the week he said this whole job would take, and even though it was written on the contract in his own hand he insisted he was not doing subfloor in another room, which he clearly can't do anyway because he doesnt know what it is. He then accused me of doctoring the contract and said he had no memory of saying that, writing that, or any dip in the livingroom to address and I must have written it into the contract behind his back. Then tried to say there was too much furniture for him to have seen the dip even though I had cleared the furniture away so he could see the issue. When I decided I didnt want him to doing anymore shoddy work in my home or talking to me like Im an idiot I told him, out of the 1200 deposit he could keep the 700 for work and materials that he quoted for the work he did (shoddy as it was) but I wanted the rest refunded as I would not be needing his services anymore and that I would leave the few tools he had here on the porch for him to pick up. Even though there is nothing in the language of the contract that would suggest he could withhold anything the next day he said he would keep $499 of the $500 dollars left that I wanted back because I broke the contract, as if unsatisfactory work wouldn't qualify, and offered me a dollar back instead. When I said I would take him to small claims he had the audacity to brag about how in the 15 years of doing this work he has gone to court a few times and won all of them...not really something to brag about dude. He also, very childishly, took the bag of common nails and wood screws I left with the other tools he brought and scattered them across the driveway in front of my garage knowing I would come home after work when it was dark and prompting me to have to file a police report. This guy is the literal WORST, he lies, he is counting on a woman being too dumb to know better, and will argue with you circuitously. He is inept, childish, and vengeful. Please avoid him and his "work" at all costs. I wish I had checked his BBB and yelp reviews first. Don't let him sucker you too
