Please be warned. Carenter, Handyman, Mike Foy will take your money and you will never see it, him, or the work you expected again. Mike Foy was advertising as a carpenter in the Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida area on craigslist when I found him. I contacted him to do a simple carpentry job and worked out a fair compensation. Mike asked for money to get the materials and I wrote him a check for 50% of the job on a thursday and he said he would be calling me around Saturday or Sunday to begin the installation. When Sunday morning rolled around and I contacted him and his wife Charlotte Ciolino AKA Charlotte Blume picked up and scheduled an installation for later that day. That was the first of three scheduled times where Mike Foy did not show or call to inform me he wouldnt make it.
Each time I contacted Mike Foy he had a new excuse, "Im done and just putting another coat of paint on your product" or "I'm finishing up a piece of trim". Finally after the third missed appointment Mike Foy stopped answering his phone. So I left messages, I emailed him, and still nothing. He avoided every form of contact. I looked up his address and went by his house and left a note... Nothing. His landlord called me back and said he is a deadbeat and owed him seven months of back rent. Apparently his wife Charlotte Ciolino is a convicted rapist and sex offender too. It makes me sick to have my money taken by such blatant scum. Save yourself the trouble and dont let this happen to you too. I now have an attorney and the authorities on their trail. He will probably have even more legal issues by the time you read this.
Be aware of craigslist ads from Mike Foy or Charlotte Ciolino for carpentry or handyman jobs. You will never see your money again.
