Robert is a liar and a thief... Made the mistake of hiring him for 2 small projects. The first project was a very simple landscaping job and the second involved placing pavers. We made the mistake of giving him half the money up front. for both jobs. On the days he did show up to work, he came late and left early. He overbilled for hours, both the number of hours worked and the total workers onsite each day. He overbilled for the quantity of materials used by nearly double. The quality of work was substandard and left unfinished with what was agreed upon. He agreed to do All the landscaping for $4000 after coming to the house and looking over the project. He was given $2000 up front, but when he showed up to do the job... he said he needed an additional $2100 for shrubs. Then he proceeded to plant a few grasses and 3 little shrubs... maybe $300 worth of plants. They didn't even water the plants in... Also... if you tell the customer that you planted a $400 pine tree for them... make sure you remove the $149 price tag. After their third short day of work... over two weeks... Robert said they were finished and needed a final payment for the landscaping... $4000... in addition to the $4100 he had already gotten. He finally said he could give a discount to $3000. Wow... $7100 for something the neighbor's kids had done in the past when they were 14 and 15... and they did a much better job. After he didn't show up for a few weeks to start on the pavers... and we had a chance to discuss the poor landscaping job... we hired someone else to do the pavers. He was asked to refund the $10,000 for the pavers project, but he said he'd already purchased the pavers. We finally got the $ 4600 worth of pavers that he'd purchased... When he was asked about the additional $5400 he still needed to return... he just said... I don't give refunds. Robert... you should be getting a court notice soon. Everyone else... STEER CLEAR OF THIS GUY!!!!!!!! read more
