Dave Does It All

We were ecstatic about the level of service that Dave provided for us. He was immediately available to us (not to mention holiday weekend) to give a free estimate, and it was so reasonable, we hired him on the spot. When the job became more involved than estimated, due to builder neglect, we were able to arrive at a very reasonable price. Then we learned that not only does he do electrical work, which not all handymen can do, but he also does painting and plumbing. We'll be calling Dave for everything we need done around our house. We highly recommend.

My review is the EXACT same as the other two that rated with ONE star.   Took my deposit and then when I filed dispute with credit card company, his response to them was he completed the work.  What work?  He quoted the job, took the deposit and never did ANYTHING.  I  ended up using Dany Romero's Painting, which was from a solid referral and rated excellent on Angie's List.  I am still in the process of dealing with my credit card company to disprove his allegation that services were performed, which will be extremely easy to prove.  Since I had ALL work done by another company.  DO NOT USE!!  And he kept changing the work dates or just not show up at all.  Only positive I have is I am more than thankful, I put the deposit on a credit card and did not pay him by check or even worse.... CASH!!!

Prior to the purchase of my home my inspector identified issues with the roof and found a cracked window. The homeowner hired Dave to do the repairs. The roof: Dave sealed badly cracked tiles instead of replacing them and put down tar instead of fixing the leak. Four roofers all said the same - the repairs were done so poorly that it will now cost more to do them right. The window: Dave replaced the window and put the molding on so poorly that the window can't be raised. His fix to this was to cut away the molding and simply leave it. Dave's repairs cost more than $1500 to redo properly. He may be fine for labor such as laying sod or rocks but for any skilled work I'd look elsewhere.

Dave does it all... including not finishing the job and keeping our money. He was very inconsiderate of our time. He made many scheduled appointments and promises to show up and finish the job but he never did. His original work was fine. Not the way to treat a customer.

My landlord contacted this person to fix our sliding bathroom door.   We had 2 that needed to be fixed.  He was supposed to show up on Friday but never showed and never called.   I contacted him and he said he was running late and would be there the next day.    I let my landlord know that we waited for him but never heard from him.  
He did show up the next day.   He fixed the main one then went on to the other.   I check the main one but it was very hard to open and close.   After he finished the other door he fixed the main one.   This time they both worked fine.   However, he left the whole door covered in black hand marks and dirt all over the floors.   Plus, on the smaller door he chipped it on the bottom.  
Monday morning I used the main bathroom.  I opened the door and now it won't shut.   I let the landlord know.    He contacted this guy to let him know.  He said he would be there the next day.  I asked him to let me know when and I would leave work to be there.  He never called, never showed.   My landlord talked to him and he told him he would be there the next day between 3 and 4.  I took the time off work to be home.    He never showed, never called.   And when my landlord tried to call him, he had his phone shut off.    
We will NEVER use him again.
