    ***** ****** of NC Design and Build was recommended by ********* Elevator to remove the floors of the elevator shaft/closets in my home prior to elevator install. He came w/ the ** *** to look at the space & verbally quoted $1500. I wrote the price down on the paper where I was taking notes. He was supposed to email me a formal quote but never did. I trusted him bc everyone said to use ********* so I figured they would only recommend someone trustworthy. Day-of on site he told me it was $2500 which I paid. I felt like I was stuck bc the elevator install was scheduled. I had no time to find someone else. He did some work then left. One other guy worked a bit more then left after 4 hours. I thought they'd be back to finish, but no. 4 hrs for $2500! Prior these "closets" were finished, painted, trimmed, spaces. I never dreamed that he'd ruin the walls in the process of taking out the floors and that he'd leave the space looking horrible and unfinished! We have a very nice house which looks horrible now. I complained multiple times. He eventually stopped taking my calls or answering emails. Photos here *******************************************. I posted my complaint to the Carolina Beach Locals FB page to see if people agreed or if I just had wrong expectations. People were also appalled at the shoddy work he did and how he left it and how much he charged me. I am only at the home a few weeks a year. About a year later, ****************** agreed it was bad & did a few improvements, bc they felt bad (told me they'd had many complaints). But they are not carpenters. I was unable to get back to this property for many months, I live hours away and was taking care of 2 elderly parents & 2 special needs children. This fell to the back burner out of necessity, This mess is ***** ******** doing and responsibility to fix, not **, they are NOT a carpenters, but I would never have him in my home again. It is very wrong for him to get away w/ this.
