Bill from circular stairs
Bill came today to do is final work on my staircase for the 2 floor.
He gave me a estimate for the basement of 700.00$ for oak stair and the 1 floor 1100.00$ oak also and 2 floor stair 2700.00$ oak stair.
He did half of the job he was suppose never told me previously that the 2700.00$ do not included the placement of the balustrade to the end of the railing and that will be another 400.00$ for that.
I did got the balustrades myself at home depot.
And today i did have to paid 150.00$ extra for drilling so he can place the balustrades .
I will never recommend bill to anyone.

i would recommend bill for sure his price may be half the price he left me with a job half done also.
And ask me much more that the estimate he gave me .
Posted by: benoit at October 4, 2009 4:39 PM in response to Good Stair Guys?
I never lower the price that he gave me I agree with it, but not to jack up the price last minutes asking $400.00 more to do the rest of the job.
And the job was not done properly on top of it.

No i never lower the original price, i agree with the price he gave me.

Posted by: benoit at September 18, 2008 5:59 PM in response to BBQ using wood legal or not
The wood was from a falling tree oak , neighbor the call the fire department.
But is less toxic to use wood that to use coal and light it up with fuel.
I did burn wood many time and the charcoal did not melt or anything like that.

I used to work at The Nation magazine, where bright and responsible and terribly under-rpaid college-age interns were often living in squalor in order to afford to stay in NYC. We often had interns house-sit for us, and they were very grateful for a decent place to live for a while. We always had good experiences with them--they were tidy, took good care of our vats, and left the place clean. You can give The Nation a call and ask for the internship coordinator and let them know you are looking for someone.

I am really surprised. We found him to be honest and his work was good.
Posted by: PHfamily at July 17, 2009 8:11 PM in response to Bill from circular stairs
Did you lower him down from the original bid?? It would not be an excuse for him adding to the bill, but it would explain it. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that if your posting like this on a blog, you might have been a difficult customer for him too. Either way, that"s too bad the relationship fell apart.
