Brett Mclaughlin was recommended by a friend. Friendly guy, but a little creepy sounding on the phone, was a little inappropriate, but otherwise gave me a good estimate for a project in our home. Gave him $7000 deposit and he started the job. Next day, no-show. Same the day after. Finally he showed up to continue, started getting FLIRTY and TOUCHY with my daughter! I was horrified, called my husband, but by the time he came home, Brett left without any progress on the job.
Eventually he texted me that he changed his mind and can’t finish the work!!! I asked about the deposit but he stopped responding. I called my friend who recommended him and he said that he ended up having the same experience!!! Felt Terrible that he recommended him. We should have done a background check beforehand. Brett has done this multiple times and then eventually moves to another area, and changes his company name and phone #. He is a SCUMMY CON ARTIST and don’t let him near your home!!
I should have done my research, but unfortunately it is too late. Brett took a very large deposit from us and then, mid-job, raised the price drastically (said "this was always the price"). When we showed him documentation of his originally quoted price, he became very upset and just left the job. He refused to give back any of the money. its a shame because a simple google search would have made us stay far away.
In terms of the work itself, it is poor quality and sloppy.
