Huge mistake.
A 6 week job took 7 months. Very good sales pitch followed by excuse after excuse. Had to employ another contractor to replace shoddy workmanship.
Don't be taken in by the nice guy demeanour. Shawn is first and foremost a salesman. A very good one.
The project went well over his estimate. He told us that he would keep us informed of cost overruns. Never happened. In fact communication with him or anyone at his company was almost non-existant. His voice mail was almost always full.
He was rarely on-site (except to pick up money). Very quick on that score.
If you do decide to give him work, and strongly advise against it, make
sure you get everything in writing.
We are seniors and feel we were taken advantage of. Our experience was stressful, never knowing when an employee was going to show up. Often when they did it was for a couple of hours, here and there.
In a word, our experience was a nightmare.
