Best Porch Construction/Replacement in Saint Louis MO

I employed  this contractor to turn my tub/shower into a walk in shower. Even reading bad reviews here, I made choice to hire  after he said that was done by his worker and he woul.  .. Paid him half of the amount of the job ahead of the work. A grave mistake.  First 2 weeks he would rarely show up And after pinning him.. he would turn only for 2 hrs or 3 hrs that too 2-3 days of work day. I had to spent days at home waiting for him to come. And everyday I had to chase him about his arrival and he would end up saying several reasons for coming late. Even after 7 weeks we were not even half done. As days went I could see several mistakes being done as I learnt through what was done and what should have been done. Quality of work was so bad that we had pull large tiles  48x48 ; 4-5 times out after sticking them . Even now the shower floor is not draining properly. He poured deck mud and did a bad job in draining. Poured auto leveling mud to cover up.. I lost 500 dollars worth of tile because of his inability. I FIRED him after he did not show up for whole week and responded back when I messaged him at the end of week.  I ended losing more money than my budgeted amount because of tiles and the bad job, I ended up  paying a different contractor for finishing up the mess.

DO NOT HIRE!!!!
