I used John because he did work for a family member and the work done was completed quickly and priced reasonably. He sent two quotes and my landlord opted for the dearer one after being told the problem will come back if ceiling not replaced (bathroom). He asked for payment up front so he could by the materials. He turned up at the agreed time and decided that the ceiling didn't need to be replaced and so painted 1 coat of sealer (which i provided) and have not seen him since. Still waiting

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
John asked for a decent sized deposit, did a few hours work and is now refusing to return the money he owes us. Apparently this has happened a number of times before so I am happy there are websites like this so hopefully I can prevent him from putting others through the stress we have been through, as we are now owed several hundred dollars.
