Shawn’s Home Improvement

Shawn has completed mobile home renovation splendidly. He finished work as promised and on time.  His communication throughout the process was exemplary and especially even while he was out of country on family emergency. His work is beautiful and speaks for self.  He kept budget under control and even gave some discount on unexpected rehab discovered along the way.

I would highly recommend Shawn and his team.  In fact, he is starting renovation on our 2nd mobile home next week and most likely will be doing many more as opportunities we discover.

Shawn and his team were ok to work with initially, but as time went on the quality of the work deteriorated and he was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. We had a dispute about the terms of our agreement (I admit largely because I didn't realize the terms of the new contract had changed from a previous agreement), however, because of that dispute Sphysicallyhawn and his guys resorted to cursing me including racial slurs (**tch *ss nword), threatening to physically assault me and then abandoning work which was incomplete -and- which I had already paid for($3000).

As far as the work itself was concerned: the fit and finish were sub-standard, every outlet was deformed (one corner bulging out of the wall) (one was put in upside down [switch up was off], one was wired to an overhead light (the outlet doesn't work unless the light is on). When I asked Shawn to correct the deficiencies he refused saying if I wanted him to make something look good, I could forget it. To his credit: earlier on...one of the large windows they installed leaked four or five days after it was installed. I called him, sent him a video of the window leaking and he came out the next morning and caulked it and blamed one of his employees for being derelict. The roof they installed: one corner of it was lifting a week after they left. I did send him a picture (included) of the substandard work.

To his credit: he offered to come and look at it. I ignored the offer based on his track record, previous approach, and lack of work quality. True to form, he resorted to threatening me he would report me to code enforcement, calling me a **tch, etc. (I have the text messages). The final dispute: I contracted with him to move a window and install a door where the window had been. He quoted me, and we agreed on a price ($3500) and I paid him ($7000-- window and a small deck). Previously, the terms of the agreement had been 100% for materials and 50% for labor upfront.

During the window installation, one of his employees asked me for the money ($275) that he spent on materials. I was surprised and told him that I had paid for all the materials up front but I would speak to Shawn about it. Before I had the chance to speak to him about it he sent me several text messages demanding that I pay the $275... I paid for it! However, as I reflected on it that evening I decided that I was fed up with all the drama and decided to cancel the remaining portion of the contract the next day.
Because I canceled the remaining work the next morning: Shawn told them to leave the window and door unfinished (pictures included). When I reminded him that I had already paid for the job, he said that I had paid him to install the door and window/not to finish it.Since I was canceling the rest of the project, I should hire a finish carpenter.  

I was cursed by Shawn and his employee and verbally threatened by one of his employees (over $50 he said he had spent on materials that morning). At no time did I dispute the $50, and in fact said I would send the money by Zelle in the next couple of minutes. The situation culminated in loud cursing by Shawn and his employee and in fact, the employee rushed toward me Zelleas if he intended to assault me. Among the verbal assaults was Shawn accusing me of being a fool who served in the military of a country that had enslaved me, and on and on. I repeatedly asked them to please stop cursing, to lower their voices, and finally to please leave.

Not ten minutes later, he called me...apologizing for his employee and expressing a willingness to complete the part of the project that I had canceled. etc. etc. I said I would think about it (largely because he was holding $3500 of my money). Shortly afterward he returned $600. I firmly believe he did so, in an attempt to show something (goodwill?) that would encourage me to allow them to finish the project.

Of course, I declined to spend another penny with his company. In fact, I'm currently waiting for a reputable roofing company to look at the roof. With what I have seen from the work thus far, I'm preparing myself that the roof might have to be completely ripped off and replaced.
Everything written here is the absolute god's honest truth.  It took a couple of months to process this regretful episode and to get my window sub-standard, and the hole that Shawn left in the side of my house fixed. When I looked at his company's reviews again to understand what I had missed in reviewing the company. I was shocked to see that he had illegally posted pictures of both -me and my house- on Yelp without my permission or a release.
Because I found his company through a Yelp review initially, I wanted to return to Yelp to share my frank and completely honest personal experience.

Finally Caveat Emptor.

I sent over a request for a consultation and just got the response I'm not available.

Indefinitely? Is this business closed? Is it me? No idea.

Sad. I was really looking for a good contractor and the previous reviews are so wonderful.

A plumbing leak had caused significant water damage to bathroom, laundry room and utility closet. Shawn and his crew came out and fully repaired each area (drywall, flooring, paint). He was very quick to respond and complete the work.  I am a landlord for the property and Shawn kept me very well informed at each stage of the process virtually.  I appreciate the quick responsiveness and quality of his work.

Shawn was amazing, he came by to install 5 ceiling fans. He is very responsive and provided high quality work. I will be hiring him again!

Shawn regrouted and resurfaced our shower.  The work was quick and professional and the price was very fair.  Fully recommend

His price to do my small bathroom renovation was $3000 more than the very expensive team I hired a year ago. Crazy. And nothing on paper. No details. Nice guy though and came on time.

Thank God someone is finally brave enough to post the truth about the scum bag deshawn. He's a thief. He milks every cent out of you for your deposit to show up on the first day of the job. I paid him $3000 to start a job last November. He showed up late, I was out in my backyard, he rang my doorbell (which I didn't hear), and proceeded to get back in his truck and drove away. When I called him to find out why he was late, he told me that he rang the bell and left and was already on his way back home. I asked him to please turn around and come back to my home to start the job and he said we would have to reschedule. November turned into December. December turned into January. He was a no-show for our January appointment. This guy is a bully, a racist and the most disrespectful piece of shit I have ever encountered. He likes to throw around the big boy words, trying to act like he's a professional business person, when in fact he's just some punk who steals people's hard earned money and has no remorse.  More people need to spread the word of caution about this thief. He's got my $3000. He said I broke the contract so therefore he's keeping my deposit. I am in the process of suing him... I will probably never see my $3000 again but I will recoup that in spreading the truth about this thief and his scam. Karma is a bitch deshawn.

Shawn helped us switch out the recessed lights in our home (we wanted a warmer color than what the builders had installed). He also helped us actually pick out the correct bulbs as well. He was super knowledgeable, quick to respond, patient, and did a really thorough and great job. We will definitely be calling him for anything we need in the future, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician or someone to help with other home improvement projects.

Shawn is totally professional, fast and communicative.  Shawn was able to help us with everything we asked for with a quick turnaround time and no hassle or stress on our part!  It was very refreshing to have someone come out exactly when they said they would, do everything they said they'd do, and keep us informed the whole time.  Affordable too!

I needed a chandelier installed very last minute and Shawn responded and came to my house immediately. He was so nice and did a perfect job! Will definitely call him in the future.

I'm currently doing some minor renovations to my townhouse to include painting an replacing old worn out light fixtures. I can replace circuit breakers, light switches and receptacles but don't like dealing with wiring new fixtures in because of the involvement with different wiring configurations such as 3way, 4way, etc.    I did a quick search online last Thursday, July 22, 2021 and ran across Shawn's profile and past jobs and was impressed. I communicated with Shawn and he responded back quickly. He came the next day and on time as we agreed. He was very knowledgeable as I'm in the construction industry and I have worked with many tradesmen. He installed a ceiling fan and light fixture for my dinning/living room space. My wife and I are very, very, very satisfied with his work. I will be using Shawn for my upstairs project if he likes and any other referrals I pass along to him.

DeShawn was quick to respond to my initial request and after taking a look at my home inspection report was able to give me a fair quote on fixing the most important things.  He arrived on time for the job and did a great job of explaining what was done. Will definitely be using him for future projects.

deshawn did an excellent job. thorough, fast, and meticulous.  he is responsive,  responsible and respectful.
a very good choice for ylur contracting needs.

We needed some outlets fixed in our home. We contacted Shawn and he was very responsive. He was quick to come out and diagnose the problem. He fixed our outlets very quickly. He seemed very knowledgeable and was very respectful. I would not hesitate to recommend Shawn to someone else.

Shawn did an amazing job bring a ton of light into an open concept living/dining space. He was timely and flexible in his solution for my home. I appreciated his honesty and professionalism in providing light and functionality with a smart home dimmer switch. I'll be calling him back very soon to do more work in my home.

Shawn provided outstanding service and guidance related to an electrical issue we had and made the repairs quickly.  Very personable and knowledgeable!  Great to know you have someone you can count on!

Shawn showed up on time and was professional throughout the installation of two exterior electrical outlets. Shawn's workmanship was excellent.

Shawn did a fantastic job giving us a beautiful painting job in our new home. He was very flexible with scheduling and stayed late to help us out in getting the job done before movers came the next day. I highly recommend him, he does high quality professional work at a very reasonable price and cares deeply about his craft. Thanks again Shawn!

Shawn installed a chandelier and heavy wall mirror for me.  He was amazing from start to finished.  I had shopped around for an electrician and Shawn responded within minutes of my email.  I provided a picture of the chandelier and room, and he was able to provide an immediate quote well below the other electricians.  He communicated and confirmed our appointment, arrived on time (early) and completed the work quickly.  The mirror was an add on request which he installed within minutes.  I am definitely using Shawn for other home improvements.  There was not hassle or back and forth.  He is very talented and knowledgeable.

Great guy, sorted and know his job well. We got garage and deck redone and he did a fantastic job. Highly recommend.

Everything was great.  The fan was installed perfectly and on Shawn was on time.  I will hire him again when the need arises.
