2. Apply knock down concrete and paint lanai floor, They did not tape or protect anything with plastic. They got concrete/paint all over my lanai screens, and siding. They then pulled my power washer out of my garage and used it to clean the screens without even asking. They broke my power washer, I had to buy a new one to replace it. They used my new garden hose, and took my hose sprayer. They then brought a more powerful power washer to try to clean screens, then tore holes in my screen. I am still fighting a month later to get the screens replaced. When I text them, the owner now tells me, "I was going to replace them, but I refuse to let you dictate when I do it." Really??? I am still fighting with them to finish cleaning up my mess, and I will never recover the loss of them tearing up my power washer.

Stay far away from this company. They drive a white pickup truck. PM me if you have any questions.
I have had similar experience with "Handymen" here in the villages as well. The last one walked off with my brand new Samsung *8+ phone, my drill, entire bag of brackets that I needed for the project, AND he said he had to go to Home Depot to get a tool or something, so I asked him if he would pick up a few things and paid he cash - never came back, next day - I realized my phone was GONE! He never returned my calls, and sole half the things I had in my garage! I have a picture of him... maybe I should show him to you, might be same guy!
