Michael quoted me at 6 hours to complete some tasks, then after he was done for the day he estimated he needed another 4-5 hours to get the other tasks completed. Total list of tasks were:
Replace 2 ceiling fans
Replace 2 towel rods
Swap the motors on 3 bathroom exhaust fans
Swap the faucets on 2 bathroom sinks
Replace 3 bathroom toilet roll holders
I told him I was unwilling to pay for additional 4-5 hours worth of work that he estimated it would have taken to get all the tasks done. I felt like $300 worth of labor should have been plenty to get the tasks done. In my world if you quote someone for a price for a job, that's what they pay, not double.
When I called to let him know that the one toilet paper holder he mounted was crooked, he claimed it wasn't until I told him I used a digital level to determine it was mounted 5 degrees off. I guess that's my fault for not checking his work before he left. He said he'd call back to schedule to come by and fix it, but that never happened.
Michael is more trouble than he's worth. My fiancée couldn't get any work done due to constant interrupting, requests for her to help him during the tasks, and personal questions that were none of his business that had nothing to do with completing the job that he kept asking. Its none of his business to know my custody arrangement with my ex-wife.
