I can only speak for myself. He attempted to built us a new deck. The workmanship was pure garbage. I met with Sam to go through all of the issues. He is a nice enough fellow but I would highly recommend not using him for two reasons. First off he admitted to me that he is "not a carpenter". He did not even know how to remove a wood railing from a brick wall. He seemed confused when I suggested he use a proper drill bit to remove the railing. He questioned me how to do this (I'm no handyman but know this much). Instead he literally hacked the wood off causing extensive damage. Then he put it back after putting in new deck flooring. He did not secure this properly either. The workmanship was lousy and there were several safety concerns once he was done. Lost $3K on the job as I had zero confidence in his ability to fix what he had done. Had to pay someone else to redo the whole job. At least it was done properly. I gave him a 1 for showing up and for being a nice fellow. My best advise is don't give him any money up front other than for materials. In fact it's probably best to stay away.
