Introduction
I'm not sure where my 1 star came from with Mrs Meggie. I have never done work for that client. I believe she has me confused with another contractor. I am a dedicated worker with substantial experience with window repair/ replacement, glass repair, and carpentry.

Blocking Mice!
It started out great but deteriorated towards the end and even more after he left. Christopher's plan was to use foam that he assumed me got as hard as a rock. I bought needed supplies. He foamed the edges where it looked like mice could enter, then I saw a hole around the pipe abut 1/4". Rather than using the patch kit to first cover the hole and then patch it, he just sprayed more of the foam. over 24 hours later, I can still poke a hole in it with my finger. While looking online to see how long it took to harden, I discovered that Great Stuff has a brand specifically for blocking pest holes. That's not the one he recommended. Since all he did was pull out the stove and applu the foam, I asked him for a re-negotiated price. He handed me $20. I went to the store and got the correct foam and retuned about an hour and a half later - the foam had still not hardened. I asked him several times (via text) to return at least 40 more of the $160 I'd paid, explained how I had to do the job over plus the added cost of buying the correct material and foam cleaner. I even explained how renegotiating the price and 'making it right' would be make for a great review. Unfortunately at 12:14 pm today, he has refunded nothing; instead has left me with an awful experience and a job to clean up and redo - one that I paid him for. Regretfully (and out at LEAST $60 - He did nothing, really.) Maggie
