Hired him to provide me with a simple kitchen renovation and a few additional jobs in adjacent rooms. He took over 4 months to partially complete the job leaving me to live in a dusty construction zone the entire time and finally decided that my project was no longer worth persuing and abandoned it at the 3/4 mark. The work that was done was of very poor workmanship. He used the deposit money and payment installments to fund other contract issues he had elsewhere - he managed this by supplying inexpensive material.
Once the cabinet doors warped and the drawers no longer slid square - he basically decided to bolt and abandon the job. I had to do the electrical because he was not about to hire anyone and his 'electrical' skills were scary at best. I also had to take over the painting at the 4 month mark since I could see that his tactics were to delay beyond comprehension.
