This is a formal complaint with Anthony J Johnson, who is the owner of Detailed Inspection LLC https://www.facebook.com/Detailed4You/. Address is , Saint Louis, MO . Phone number 314.853.2141. On September 11th I posted for recommendations to help with a project in my home.
We planned to update the house before we list it to sell. That evening Anthony privately messaged me. (Red flag 1 - I didn’t know you weren’t suppose to do that) and told me the job would cost $150. After taking a look at the job some more he quoted me $400 plus materials.
I wanted to lower the wall to counter height, add board and batten detail and cut off 2 electrical outlets. I was installing new granite counters tops so I needed it done soon. From start to finish, well i fired him in the end, but it took around a month to "finish”. Now to the issues.
The board and batten wall was not installed correctly.
From what I can tell he used deck screws to attach to the wall. Most of the boards were not flush with each other. He didn’t caulk well either. I also saw him painting the boards before it went in, then later used a hammer to hit the newly painted board to make it fit. I think it didn’t fit so that’s why many boards are not flat to the surface.
He didn’t sand any of the boards before he painted. I will attach pics of what the wall looked like when he was "done”. The following week I had granite installed and the contractor told me the wall Anthony lowered was not level so they needed to use 2 shims on one side of the newly lowered wall.
