Desperately needed a handyman to finish up some items on a backyard office. Works was sufficient. However, he quoted me $ 55 hr over the phone. Arrived at 11:00 to review work to be done and know what supplies needed to be purchases. Left by 11:20. I called him back at 2:22 to ask if he changed his mind because he had been gone so long. Said he had to go pick up a saw he would need for baseboards. He knew ahead of time I wanted baseboards done, so not sure why he did not bring the saw with him. Came back at 3:30 and left at 5:30. Had to come back again next day. I was not home when he arrived, but he said he started work at 11:00. He was done at 2:45 He asked for a check right then and there and had no invoice for me. Said he would email. The cost was pretty high in my opinion, but did not know how to handle on the spot. I texted him on my way to Lowe’s at 3:30 and called me back at 3:45. When I received the invoice I saw he charged me $ 65 and hour! On top of the fact he billed me the 1st day for 6.5 hours.(11 – 2:30&3:30 — 6:30). Then the next day he billed me for 5.5 hours(11 – 4:30) In actuality he worked 11 – 12:30(maybe including supply run) and 3:30 to 5:30. Thursday he actually quit and was gone before 3:00 which makes that 11 – 3 Total hours worked was 7.5 x $ 55.00=412.50 Said he worked 12 hours and generously only billed me for 9. Are you kidding me?! I am not 100% sure about the materials charged for, not even going there. Quality of work was a C– at best. I emailed him my complaint about his hours and hourly rate and he never responded. I gave him a couple weeks to make it right. Nothing. If you decide to hire this person, make sure you get in writing his rate and an invoice before you pay him!
