Hi my name is Doug. I’m was born and raised in the tri-cities. I do honest and quality work. I make sure the job is done correctly even if that means it’s going to come out of my own pocket. I don’t believe in trying to scam customers. I still find word of mouth to be the absolute best advertisement that money can’t buy

DO NOT HIRE HIM!!! Doug came the first day late. He made several excuses for not coming to work. He made promises he did not keep and we had to pay $1,500 to fix the botched drywall work. He cashed a check without permission, and even after many chances for him to repay or finish the job he was a no-show. He would say, “I’ll be there in 20 min” and then would never show up or make some additional excuse. He agreed to refund the cash we gave him for paint along with the check he cashed without permission. But he never did. He was unprofessional, not truthful and used a lot of profanity that was unnecessary. We noticed he does not have a good track record after seeing his Facebook page. DO NOT RECOMMEND! He’s shady.

Jaime changed the job repeatedly and appointments so it was impossible to keep them. She had me purchase all kinds of materials. And then she would complain about what i had purchased. This woman is incredibly rude and unprofessional. She made threats against me and mine. If i were a contractor or anyone i would avoid this snake in the grass. Not an honest bone in her body

He was very polite and thorough. We asked him to come to the house for an issue we were having with our washer and he fixed that issue and went the extra mile to ensure it would not happen again anytime soon. He also repaired a dryer issue we had been dealing with for months maybe even a year and included it in his service fee. We will definitely give him a call for any of our future appliance needs.
