Jeff Doan

On May 5^th my husband and I hired Jeff Doan, Inc. aka My South Florida Handyman for some home renovations. As you can see by the attached invoices there were several things we wanted done. After a couple of weeks, Jeff told us that larger jobs were waiting on him. Quite surprisingly, we received a text (no phone call) from Jeff one Saturday indicating he was through with us and would send us a final bill, demanding final payment immediately. Jeff had committed to pouring a concrete slab and installing all bathroom fixtures for us which was never done. Jeff had agreed to give us a $ 700 credit for our inconvenience. We were ready to send the final payment until our A/​C unexpectedly stopped working. We immediately hired a licensed and insured A/​C contractor, Good Ol’ Boys Heating and A/​C, LLC license #CAC1816792, and after close inspection, we were informed our the ducts needed cleaning and coils needed to be acid washed due to drywall dust directly from work that had been done by Jeff Doan, Inc. aka My South Florida Handyman. We sent a copy of the bill from Good Ol’ Boys Heating and A/​C, LLC along with our home inspection for 14 615 Hideaway Lake Lane, Delray Beach, FL 33 484 performed on April 16, 2015 by Connected Inspectors of Delray Beach,. We reduced our final payment by $ 850.00 (charge for the cleaning and acid wash).
While working from home on November 19, I noticed our hardwood floor that Jeff Doan Inc. installed in June ’15 was buckling. My husband sent an email immediately to Jeff Doan, Inc. aka My South Florida Handyman explaining what happened. Jeff’s responses were cavalier and condescending, saying he would not come out and conduct an on-​site inspection unless we paid him $ 1,400 upfront. Jeff Doan Inc. has yet to visit us. We immediately hired Floor Eyes Inspection Company, at a cost of $ 250.00. The report specifically spoke to improper installation as to the cause. We immediately forwarded the findings to Jeff Doan, Inc. aka My South Florida Handyman and he said we should hire someone to repair it, forward him the estimate «so that we can both agree on it». On Thanksgiving Day my 81 year old mother almost fell twice due to the buckling floors, which now the floor is a safety hazard in our own home! We do not want a non-​licensed individual fixing our floor.
Since, we’ve found out that no permits were ever pulled prior by Jeff Doan, and some licensed GCs have told us that permits should have be pulled prior to any demo work (walls removed, electrical outlets relocated, along with a complete bathroom remodel here). We were also informed we may have problems selling the house because of permits not being pulled.
After sending an ultimatum email to Jeff Doan Inc. on Dec 3^rd to respond to us by end of business on Friday, Dec 4^th, he nonchalantly emailed us on Saturday December 5^th stating he would be willing to pay for the repairs, not to exceed what he feels is «appropriate and customary for the scope of the work that was deemed necessary.» We now are in the process of obtaining final quotes from four licensed and insured flooring GC’s, and ironically enough, all four GCs, including our Flooring Inspector have indicated how poorly and improperly installed our floor is. They couldn’t believe a licensed GC would perform such incompetent work. One GC even said that Jeff Doan left our home knowing we were going to have these kind of problems.
Do NOT let this man in your house!!!

Jeff Doan Inc., aka My South Florida Handyman who advertises as a pro GC, is anything but. We hired him in May ’15 to perform a variety of work at our newly purchased home, and it was a HUGE mistake! He didn’t full fill what he was contracted to do, and then text messaged us saying «I’m done, will send you a final bill», and we paid him.
We should have known there would be problems, 5 months later our interlocking bamboo flooring buckled, and after notifying Jeff immediately, he said he would come out only after he charges us $ 1400 up front, what a guy! This GC doesn’t stand behind his work, so hire him solely at your own risk!
