Wilco started off doing a good job, but once I started paying him in advance and he was paid in full, the work got sloppy and deadlines were missed repeatedly. I have extended the deadline for the project 3 times before even after he stopped returning my calls and starting only conversing through emails or texts days later. After missing the deadline on Aug. 10th, I ended up having a tenant walk away from my place. I have been very patient with him since the first installment (which was on May 31st). I have finally decided to give him a deadline of Aug. 14th. I see that he has no intention of completing the project with any commitment on time frame as his last conversation to me stated that he would need 3-5 days to come up with a schedule. So, I've decided to find someone else who respects customers, will finish the project on time, and will do a good job. My first advice to anyone that hires him is to get his deadlines in writing. Second would be to not pay him in advance. Pay him only after he does the job the way you want it.
