By far, this is the worst person and company I've dealt with when it comes to contracting. I was given his number from a referral for my very specific project. Joe was asked to replicate a piece of tin molding for a historic building. When asked, he stated yes, he replicates molding. He stated that he required $50 to provide an estimate. He was paid immediately with no questions asked because this is a time-sensitive job. After going back and forth with trying to schedule the first appointment. It was scheduled successfully but when the person was on his way Joe called and stated he would need to remove at least 5 feet of existing molding from this historic building. My question to him was why not make a mold on site? If you can duplicate molding, removing the molding from a historic building should not be part of the scope. Making a mold on-site should be the task, because had he shared this information with me from the beginning I would never have moved forward with his company. Instead, Joe kept adding twists and turns along the way. He took the $50 for the estimate and could not provide results. After weeks of going back and forth, we decided that we would have someone come on-site and duplicate the molding. The gentlemen came but guess what? No molds were made for the moldings to be duplicated but the gentlemen stated that Joe would get back to me. About seven days later Joe gets back to me and states that now he needs a permit and scaffolding. He all of a sudden needs these different things that are not required for what it is that I am requesting. Similar to going into Home Depot and purchasing a box of prefab molding. We are asking that he duplicate what we already have. We don't need scaffolding- the molding is visible and touchable by me who is 5 ft 2 inches. We don't need permits because we have a company of contractors with permits who will be installing the molding on the building, he just needed to duplicate the mold and provide it to us. Joe then sent a quote for $1200 and $12,000 without measurements. I asked him how someone give a quote with measurements for $12,000 or $1200 he said this is how he does his job at this point. This was a waste of time. This is a waste of energy and this was a waste of money. I go online and I see that Yelp reviews are horrible and learn that this man can't do the job! This is why there is excuse after excuse and reason after reason. It's evident NOW that he's NOT a person who does molding. He's a general contractor who is a painter and plumber. He could not do the job and this is why it's not turned into an OSHA, permit, license, and scaffolding thing. This is why the job was not done and why there was so much back-and-forth. Had just had to be honest from the beginning we would never be here. Do not use Got Work! read more
