Ken installed large baseboard in a property we are renovating. He was on time, professional and his work was outstanding. He quoted a very fair price and stuck to it. We will definitely be working with him again.

We had libien come out after our tile pro messed up our baseboards. Libien tore the old baseboards out and installed new one. He did everything we looked for perfectly. The joints are barely visible, he did a great job with the paint, etc. Amazing contractor and we will absolutely have him back to do more stuff for us!

Thumbtack Customer
Ken is a bait and switch artist and I would not recommend him. I've had such a positive experience with thumbtack and have never left a negative review until now.
Ken came to my house and measured for crown and baseboards. I ended up hiring an acquaintance of my trusted handyman for the baseboards, but agreed to Ken's pricing on crown moulding. We set a date and I had the crown delivered same day so it would be here in time for install.
Ken showed up on our scheduled day (today) and immediately started whining to my husband that the quote was for 4 inch crown, not the 6 inch we had. Ken *never* asked me what size crown I would be purchasing, I had no idea that mattered when it came to install. Ken and I had gone back and forth on email and never once did he ask for the size of the crown.
Ken got in his car and started recalculating a price. At this point we felt we were under a bait and switch situation. Ken also complained that our floors weren't covered; I am absolutely astounded that a finish carpenter would not cover the floors prior to working as even painters and plumbers do so. I got the impression that he wanted us to cover the floors ourselves prior to him working.
Ken complained that we had a lot of boxes around our house. We do; however, I told him that I would be here today to move them while he was moving room to room. There are also rooms that are nearly empty that he could have started on.
Ken whined about the job and got huffy, then said "I don't want the job" and got in his car and left. Now I am behind on my work schedule. I am astounded that a professional craftsman would leave someone hanging this way and also try to bait and switch after the price was agreed upon.
If you have a completely empty house, no furniture, no wood floors, tons of drop cloths that you are willing to use to cover your floors (cover them yourself I guess!) and don't mind text messages day of asking if you have enough caulk (his quote included caulk) AND someone who will get huffy and leave on the day of install...Well, this is your guy.
