I received a verbal quote from David Stewart to patch a small area of the wood floor in my home. His quote was $45 per hr. And it would take about 3 to 4 hours.
We set up a time. He told me that he would have another person with him so the job would go faster. I asked him point blank if the price was $45 an hr. Per person. He said no that it was just $45 per hr. So I added another small area to be fixed.
He started at 1P.M. Left in the middle of the job to pick up supplies. He charged for that time.By 7pm the floor work was half done and he needed to come back the next day. From our conversation, it was going to take most of the next day. This raised a red flag to me and a job that was suppossed to be a small job has now turned into a 2 day job.
After doing the math and figuring out by the time he finished I could have a new floor installed I called him and cancelled the next day. He presented me with a bill for $580 for 6 hrs worth of work plus supplies.
The job is half finished. He charged me $45 per hour, per person. It turned out to be $90 per hour. He looks real trustworthy but this was a big scam.
