I got Scott's information from a neighbor because I was new to the neighborhood…read more First day on the job, he put up one side of the railing crooked and left for the day. I was scratching my head when I saw that, as in, how did that ever happened? Didn't he have the basic tool, like a level? His partner even said he had told him it was not straight. The next day he came back to fix it, but I already had a bad feeling about that. Long story short, a couple of months later, one of the balusters fell off to the ground. It was then that I realized he was using screws to tighten ONLY 1/3 of the balusters, he was using skinny nails for the rest. The balusters warped and moved because of exposure to the outdoor elements and popped out. We had to get replacements to fix the issue. I got 10 and I used them all, because more of them fell off or became warped. Then yesterday afternoon, I was just slightly leaning on one side of the railing and it shifted under my 125 lbs weight. I immediately contacted Scott. He read the message for sure, but he hasn't replied. My recommendation: do not use SJS handyman at all cost. It took him and his partner "5 days" to finished the job, because for a couple of days he would leave for late lunches and didn't come back. He even walked off middle of the job one day because of a heated argument with his partner. He's very unprofessional and without my knowledge, used some of the 20 year old existing wood added to the new deck.

I want to start off by saying, this location is under new ownership, so this is not a reflection on…read morethe past owners which sounds like they were great to work with. I had them come out to do some painting and staining which was being covered by my insurance company. Be warned, if you have them do work for you, they will not work with you on timing for payment. I was waiting on my insurance depreciation check to be endorsed by our mortgage company. The owner called me and told me that he needed the money right away so that he could pay his contractor. So basically he was trying to make the fact that he couldn't pay his contractor my fault because I hadn't paid my invoice in full yet (I had already paid most of the bill with the first check I received from State Farm). I just needed a week to receive the final endorsed check and I would have paid in full. So, I had to pay the final bill using my credit card which meant paying the credit card processing fee. If this is really how they do business now, then that means they don't have cash in the bank to pay their bills while they wait for payment from customers. This is not a good way to do business and is a huge red flag. My advice when looking for a painting contractor for insurance work, is to ask about their ability to work with you on insurance payments. If they are unwilling to work with you, there are others that will. I neglected to ask first and got burned. As for the quality of the work, the team they sent out did a great job. That's a reflection on the contractor, not on CertaPro themselves, so take that with a grain of salt.

Square One Contractors. Dishonest, Incompetent and complete lack of Integrity. I posted photos of his work here before but then removed after we reached a legal agreement for reimbursement for the damage they did to our property. Robert Lucas owner of Square One signed a legal agreement and has now defaulted on it. He has ignored a letter from my attorney. So now we will go to court to litigate. I don't really expect to get any money from him but I will get a judgement against him and his phony company that will come back to haunt him in the future. We hired Square One Contractors/ Rob Lucas on 5/24/18 to remodel our shower and bathroom. Robert Lucas, owner of Square One presented us with a proposal that included 42" X 72" tiled walk in shower, a half shower wall with glass, ceramic floor installation,4' x 4' exterior glass block window, frame and construct walk in closet with door. All fixtures including vanity, shower unit, lights, door handles etc were included in proposal. We paid Square One Contractors $5000.00 ck #4715 on 6/1/18 and $4530.90 on 6/7/18 ck # 4718. Proposal stated $4910.00 due at contract signing, $2500 due at completion of demolition and frame up and the remainder due at final walk through. On 6/1/18 Square One asked for additional funds due to cost overruns which we paid. We were told construction would take approximately 2 weeks from start to finish. After we paid the second installment the work pace slowed to a trickle. On numerous occasions the workers did not show for 3-4 days and other days they would work for 2-3 hours and then leave. More often than not the subcontractor would turn work over to his demolition assistant or from what the subcontractor told me his 16 year old son. We did not intend on hiring a 16 year old to remodel our bathroom. On 14 June 2018 we expressed concern that the pace of work was slow and sloppy. The period of 10 July to 16 July, 2018, no one showed to work. This pattern continued until we terminated their services. We paid upfront for a remodeled bathroom including a vanity, shower hardware, door knobs, shower glass and other items. We never received any of these items. We received a text from Square One on 11 June, 2018 that our vanity had been ordered. Fast forward to 11 July, 2018 we questioned why we didn't have our vanity yet. Square One either could not produce a receipt or any proof that the vanity had been ordered. Square One Contractors' owner acted like he was concerned and promised to get receipt but he never did. We questioned Square One regarding the quality and the pace of work on numerous occasions and was always told it would be taken care of but it never was. We arrived home on 19 July, 2018 to find water pouring from the shower floor through the downstairs ceiling on or dinning room table. Again, an excuse was made and was told it would be corrected. It wasn't. On or about 10 August 2018 we had enough. As we inspected their work it was all was all substandard. We terminated them and told them not to come back. Square One was told they could pick up their tools by knocking on our door. He wanted us to leave them on our porch and he would come by at his convenience to pick them up. He also stated he would leave all the materials that we had already paid for on the porch. I refused to do this and insisted he come in person. He threatened me by stating I stole his tools and he would call police. His helper eventually came by to retrieve tools and of course he did not have any of the materials we paid for. Now for the real problems. The shower floor is not code. it leaks. Square One put several 2x4's flat on the floor with some tile shims and then laid a couple pieces of wafer board with cement board on top of that and then rubber Oakley liner. Square One then placed ceramic tile directly on top of the rubber liner. The tile grout cracked immediately as one person stood on it. The directions for the Oakley liner specifically details proper installation. It shows in clear pictures and writing that a mortar bed, then liner and then another mortar bed before tile is applied. Square One installed 4ftx4ft exterior window using 36 single glass blocks that are traditionally used for interior decoration for the exterior window. The window was not framed out properly and the opening was too large for their homemade window. No flashing applied to keep the water out. Raw insulation was placed in the void and then covered with a piece of tin and then reapplied the house siding It leaked immediately after the first rain and destroyed the insulation in the wall. Square One installed shower tiles are cut uneven and asymmetrical and are not flush to the wall with numerous cracked tiles that were not corrected. The grout lines are crooked especially where the corners meet the wall. 4) Square One installed gray ceramic tile and left the clay colored edges visible and represented as finished work. .

You wouldn't expect that from Mike. Still have the red wax and colored caulk smeared all over my new deck boards and face boards. They did make sure to soak it with gasoline before leaving. Thats awesome on composite. Like Mike says, "just hide it with WD40 if it still shows." I'd love to remove this. I'd love to have him call me back. If you see this and are considering using him and he picks up the call. Ask about me. Tell him I'd love a call back. Respect is earned just like reputation. Sad. Mike if you see this, don't worry about sealing the colored and stamped concrete I had you do under the deck. You can keep the money. I got it taken care of.

We were very excited about what we heard from Mike, so we hired them. We were given a time frame that they would start, but it ended up being several months later. That winter was an extremely cold one. No problem! We also agreed that they would take down the leaning part of the fence right away. They did not do that. As a result, we received a violation notice from the city. Mike was nice enough to contact the city and let them know we had hired them and came and took down the leaning part. Fast forward a few months later, they finally get the fence up. Shortly thereafter there was an issue. We were told we have a 7 year warranty, so we called them. After multiple calls, they came out and fixed it. Great! Currently, one of my gates is literally falling apart. So, of course we reached out to Mike again. My husband initially reached out to Mike at the beginning of last year. He told my husband, they were behind again because of the weather, but they would take care of us. Great! No problem! Quite a bit of time passed so we started reaching out to Mike again. We texted and called all of last year and have not received any kind of response. I don't typically do reviews, but to be completely non-responsive is not ok. Unfortunately, they do not honor their word, so we will have to find another company to fix our fence. I really hate that they have chosen to do business this way. I would not recommend them.
