Description  Hanging doors

Feedback  Damian contacted me following a post I put up on fb asking for recommendations to install 2 new doors. He said he could assist and shared a fb page with great reviews. He has unfortunately destroyed my 2 doors worth R4,000. He cut the beading off one edge, chipped the edges in the process and hung the doors skew and not flush in their frames. To top that, his cuts were skew, he made a hash job of the mortise and keyholes and didn't even bother trying to sand anything before priming and painting. Even the painting was slap dash and uneven withdrip marks everywhere and he didn't even take the new handles off before painting! He clearly had no idea what he was doing but rather than take ownership he left before the job was finished and his only response to my later messages was to say he would come and fix to the best of his ability. He only apologized 3 days later after telling him how disappointed we were. He is a chancer who clearly lacked the skills to do a job he should never have put himself forward for, and I am now out of pocket by more than R4,000 due to his incompetence. He has refused to engage since our last message and I will be taking this further as another carpenter has told me that the doors cannot be salvaged. Extremely disappointed after trying to give a small business a chance and even more so after I found an old page of his with multiple negative reviews.

Description  He fixed the stove as well as the toile and installed awnings.

Feedback  Damian fixed the stove and toilet as well as the installation of awnings and he is very good at his work. His pricing was affordable and it was worth the job that he did. He has good communication skills and customer service. After completing the job, he cleaned up the place and everything was neatly done. I have been recommending him already to others and they were also happy with his service as I was.
