      My contract for building a pergola stated 4-6 months but it took him 1.5 years to complete it! Lied throughout saying parts were on order when they were not. Would not return my phone calls after repeated attempts. He owes me the warranty and new items that his crew damaged on installation. He was disrespectful to me and my wife when we confronted him about the lies, etc. I spent a lot of my own time working with the crew and supplier trying to fix many problems. This was the worst experience and completely regret hiring him. Very stressful and frustrating. I would never recommend him.
