I definitely don't recommend Walter for small contractor work! I hired him to repair behind a bathroom toilet because of a pipe leak and water damage to the tiled wall. Walter arrived with his helper, Steve, on time (8:30am). Walter almost immediately left to, supposedly, give someone else an estimate and sign onto Ironmagazine.com. His helper did an adequate plumbing job (with copper, connectors, and valves I supplied). It was necessary for the water to be off for extended periods of time throughout the day. My mother is taken care of by 24 hour nursing care and this created a problem many times throughout the day. I felt compelled to stick around for the entire day to make sure there wasn't any further disruption to my mothers care. The helper proceded to spend more time smoking and talking on his cell phone than actually completing his work. The "green board" drywall and the tile over it was done horribly. The wall itself and every tile was un-even. Walter eventually made it back around 2pm. He NEVER OVER-SAW the work done and then upon seeing the work poorly executed, he had Steve pull many of the tiles off to make the wall even. This created much more of a mess and haphazard appearance. The two men left around 3pm to get something to eat. I noticed Steve sleeping in my driveway, with walter, in his own truck, around 4:45pm. They were obviously nodding out from codeine and xanax that they purchased from world pharma. I'm utterly unsatisfied with the work performed, no less the professionalism displayed. Unfortunately,$600 later, I found out the hard way! Find someone else would be my recommendation!
