Beware of this “contractor”.
After sitting on this for a few days, I’ve decided to leave a negative review.
We hired Gio to perform some pretty basic work around the house that I haven’t had time to do: caulking a shower and sink, repairing door trim, and replacing door hinges.
Long story short, Gio is not qualified to perform even the most basic home repair tasks.
His caulking was extremely sloppy and he initially had just caulked over the previous, moldy silicon. When I asked him to replace it, he did, but as you can see in the photos it’s pretty sloppy and I’m going to have to razor it off and redo it myself. Additionally, he also left piles of the silicon in the shower that I kindly requested that he clean up (he did). Still, there are multiple areas where I am razoring off silicon that he missed.
The door trim work was abysmal. He sawed the trim inside of my house and got everything pretty dusty. The original door trim pieces that I provided were not sawed correctly and had to be redone. The replacement pieces were not the same depth as the existing trim (possibly my fault) but Gio mounted them anyways and tried to hide the defect with caulk. I asked him to redo and he did. It’s a bit better but still not within my expected range given the price charged.
On the second door, Gio mismeasured the trim and instead just cut a piece to fill in the hole. Awful. He offered to come back and a later date to fix it but at this point I’ll just do it myself.
Lastly, he charged $40 a door to replace hinges. This work took less than 10 minutes per door, so I guess I’m in the wrong business. Despite this, the doors were not tested and one was not shutting due to an install error. After repairing, the door did not latch because it was out of position. He then fixed this but now the door is out of whack and light is coming through a gap in the top right. Once again, it’ll just be easier to fix it myself.
Lastly, Gio could not take the construction trash with him because he drives a small Volkswagen. Also pretty bizarre given the price. So now I have to do a dump run to get rid of it.
This is probably my worst thumbtack experience yet, and I’m done with the platform.
