PLEASE KNOW THAT I'M A GRANDMOTHER ON SOCIAL SECURITY.
DO NOT EVER HIRE WILL DEANS OF ABOVE & BEYOND HOME SERVICES based out of his home in Shelton and a trailer in Olympia. He came on 18 Feb 2013 to do a 'one day job' in the main living areas of my home. It's now 26 May 2013 (almost 100 days later) and he still isn't finished. His drywall work must be sanded down and done over again, repairs he did must be removed and done over also, and a goodly amount he only partially did. I've called him at least a dozen times but he has long since abandoned this job and doesn't return my calls.
HERE'S ONE EXAMPLE OF THE WORK IN THE DINING ROOM HE SUPPOSEDLY 'FINISHED'--
a) He didn't remove protruding nails but instead applied the knockdown finish over them.
b) He didn't repair a set of 3 holes in the ceiling and applied the knockdown finish over them. The exposed holes are obviousl
c) He didn't repair a hole which had been cut in the drywall at the electrical outlet and was about 8 inches wide X 12 inches high and it's knee high. He simply applied his knockdown finish around that gaping hole!
d) The knockdown finish itself is so poorly done with numerous areas that are extremely sparce where almost NO mud was applied...next to areas where the mud was applied so thickly that the end result resembles rough pock marks or moon craters...next to areas where the mud was applied unbelievably thick and the knockdown resulted in long thick solid strips. One at the entrance to my living room is 6 inches wide X 5 feet long!!!
e) He didn't drape the floor so there's splatter from spraying the mud all over the floor.
f) The walls generally speaking feel quite rough to the touch, like they all need some sanding even if the knockdown finish had been properly applied.
g) He finished but didn't remove taped sheeting from windows and doorways nor did he clean extensive residue from the floor. I've done all of that!
h) He arrived late saying he always took his kids to school (which always makes for a late start when he drives to the job from Shelton daily) and on the job he was constantly searching out myself and my adult son and chatting endlessly...about his childhood and everything imaginable..
i) When I pointed out how terribly uneven the knockdown finish was, he agreed that it would all have to be sanded down and done over. THAT'S THE LAST I SAW OF HIM!! HE IGNORES MY REPEATED CALLS.
Experts have described his work saying -- "This guy didn't know what he was doing."
W-A-R-N-I-N-G!! MY ADVICE -- Ask for ID from anyone you're considering hiring FOR ANY WORK. He may change his ad and his phone number, but he won't change his name. THEN DO...NOT...HIRE...WILL DEANS of ABOVE & BEYOND HOME SERVICES!! Do not trust this man...EVER!
