Mohammed is very friendly and professional. The cabinet he build for me is attractive, very sturdy, and really enhances the look and functionality of my kitchen. He also custom built some floating shelves that I absolutely love. He was very easy to work with especially as I changed my mind a few times. He really takes his time to make sure the product is quality and that I was satisfied with that work. I would definitely recommend!

Sticky areas would include communication, timing, compensation clarity, cleaning up after working, proffesionalism and options. Having a receptionist, even for quotes, may help in the future with remembering what was included and how it may change do to unforseen circumstances. Taking all the measurements needed at the time of assessment and after would unsure accuracy and giving times you are available when asked instead of open ended time would cause less confusion. Additionally, simply because a person has a budget does not imply that they are deserve a lesser quality of work and that is very much what this felt like. I had went with the first contractor who came to give a quote; it is definately worth getting multiple quotes to see who is going to do the job well in a price that is agreed upon.
I had mentioned both in my post to multiple contractors and him that I had a limited budget and he still came and we agreed upon it as well as the price for cutting and installing and the counter top. After I paid him with a small bit extra, and arrived he then mentioned a problem that a family pointed out to him (drawers wouldn't close) as well as a measurement error that I initially gave him for the cabinets that were taken for me. He then said he can cut them for an additional amount and changed the amount we additionally agreed upon by 60%. He was upset when I later said I didn't feel it was fair for me to pay that much more and said he would drop off the pieces and not finish installing the countertops. He had also covered an outlet that he forgot to open up and said he would complete it when he dropped those off. However, he did not cut the side hole like we had agreed upon initially either. I would include the cabinets and counter tops, but since we pre-purchase them and the counter top was not installed, I was not able to do so. Also, scheduling was difficult. He would give an open ended time when I asked only to ask for a different time or say he had nothing going on that day just to rush me because he was now late. There is also messes that were left. Splintered wood from the baseboards on the kitchen floor where my child kept trying to crawl to so I needed sweep and throw away as well as the 2 of 3 holes that are pictured below. Even though I was very upfront about what I was looking for in the beginning, I feel that he continued to mention that I was getting a great deal and asked for more though we agreed on a price after he had assessed the 5 foot space for the base cabinets. Even after this I left the additinal money for a family member to give to him since she truly wanted it completed and he said he would come back to finish it, but hasn't.
Details: Kitchen • 1-5 • No, my cabinets are already assembled • Base cabinets • I need help choosing cabinets to purchase • No existing cabinets to remove or I will remove them myself • Residential
Carpenter delux's reply
1. when the requirements change (cabinet installation to cabinet and countertop installation to cabinet and countertop installation after cutting it twice over and then finally adding pick up and delivery) the compensation should change too don't you think?
2. neither the cabinets nor the countertop were anything i suggested or picked so how is it my fault when they do not fit. my job was to deal with that situation and I did.
3. as to everything else, I am not going to stoop that low.
honestly now.. I am glad this nightmare of a "job" is over!
