I hired plumbing company to remove a bathtub from the living room. They completed work and ordered carpenter service for me from Kromko Construction. Kromko promised to me to come early and to install one and a half pieces of drywall. This drywall covered a small area behind the bathtub, which was removed by plumbing company. The owner of Kromko Construction promised to me to come at the end of the week to install the drywall. Unfortunately, he didn't stick to his promise. Instead of three days I waited for him almost two and half weeks. He phoned me a couple of times providing excuses that he was fixing someone's deck. He said he would come but he didn't show up for work at the arrange time. He delayed other renovation work that was to be done in my house. Kromko came on a Labour Day supposedly to finish his work. He came with somebody and did not introduce me to them. He worked for two hours to install the drywall and patched up the wall. Kromko said he didnt have the time to sand the wall, so my husband had to do it himself. In one week, I received two bills, one from plumbing company and the second one from Kromko Construction. Kromko Constructions bill was in the amount of $435.00 plus HST which works out to $500.25. Kromkos bill doesn't break down work into hours. When he came to my house, I asked him about the cost of his work, but he told me that plumbing company is going to send the bill to me with his work. Kromko never provided me with a quote for his work. Kromko overcharged me for material and hours. For material he charged me $100.00 plus HST. The bill was not accurate because one piece of drywall costs $24.00 plus HST in Bucks Hardware Store. Only for material he overcharged me $52.00. I researched how much a drywall installer charges for his work in Nova Scotia, which should be between $18.00-$35.30 per hour. Kromko spent three and a half hours in my house and charged me $95.71 per hour. He didnt do his job properly. He didnt sand the wall. I paid the bill from plumbing company in the amount of $690.85. I phoned Kromko and asked him to explain to me the break down of his bill. He couldn't explain this. He said he was not going to refund me any money. Kromko is unprofessional and he does not respect his customers. I am not satisfied. I will never use his service again. Customers be aware. Do not use KROMKO CONSTRUCTION.
