    Doug was great! Did all the projects I needed him to do and even came back the next day to fix my door lock, even though it wasn't his fault that it wasn't working properly.

    Among other things, I hired him to refinish the shower floor. The directions on the product I gave him were very specific and he ignored them and now my shower floor is a mess. It has bubbled up and will have to be stripped completely and started over from scratch. I called him to tell him that I wanted it done all over again and he said he has a previous engagement and could not return for 2 weeks. He expressed no remorse at the terrible thing he has done for my shower. My shower is now unusable. I probably will not trust him to correct it. I probably will hire someone else and bill him. I am so upset that Home Advisor would recommend someone of this caliber. I would like to amend this review. It is now 4 months later and I was still waiting for this individual to come back and do the job right. Apparently he feels he has so reason not to and I am tired of arguing with him. The fair thing would be for this individual to reimburse me totally for the amount of money he took from me. Plus reimbursement for the materials I have to purchase to attempt the job again. As I told him, I have had a knee replacement and it is possible for my doing this job. Therefore, I am asking HomeAdvisor to stand by your guarantee and to get my money back and monies for additional supplies. I have ample pictures of the ruination of my shower floor to share on your web site. So, if your person wishes to contest this, he does not have a leg to stand on because of the amply visual proof I have of his horrible job. I understand that this individual has adopted a demeaning attitude with people who are not pleased with him, but hey, let him do his thing. He is wrong and again, I do not understand why the Home Advisor would risk their reputation by allowing this person on your site.

    Response from Company:

    Bob, If you feel compelled to leave a negative review that is your right, but please provide correct details! You provided the product to be applied in your shower. After applying the material I pointed out to you the material was not adhering to the properly prepared surface as per the instructions. You said you would apply another coat later. I also explained, I was leaving for a mandatory military obligation and would get back with you once I returned. After I was finished with the job, you shook my hand and said a good job and signed on the x....... customer approval signature, work order. I am sorry you are dissatisfied. Here is the truth.

    Doug was very knowledgeable and did a great job that included repairing the frame on an exterior door and replacing the hinges

    There were 5 different jobs my main concern is the wall on the side of the home, where he put hydro- something and it dried black it looks horrible!He was here on time, he had a reasonable price however it is going to cost more to fix the wall on the side of the house that he ruined. So for small easy jobs I would recommend him like hanging a ceiling fan, if its much more than that, then no i would not.

    Response from Company:

    Wall was repaired with her pre-approval and painted. Also, her signature is on the invoice where it says customer approval signature!! The customer just decided to add painting after she approved the invoice estimate I sent that DID NOT have any mention of painting! No matter how hard you try some people can?t be pleased

    Doug did a great job with my home project that included painting and hanging a mantel. He was responsive, professional, and priced fairly. Would recommend and will use again for future work.

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
