Kirk Remodeling

KRIS KIRK/KIRK REMODELING LICENSE #687838 – HE STEALS!
If I could give no stars, I would. I rent my home from a dear friend who lives out of state. She recommended Kris Kirk for some much needed house repairs as she has known him for many years and he had done a bathroom remodel for her a few years back. He had no bad reviews at the time, so we went with him. BIG MISTAKE.
First off, while he seems very nice, he is flaky with times and commitments. He was a no show several times with excuses after the fact. Next, he hires inexperienced kids who do sloppy work. They made gouges in our walls when they installed window trim, installed most of the downspouts upside down, hung the front door crooked so it didn’t latch, hung the security screen backwards so it blocked another door, continually overlooked details they should have seen, and left screws everywhere (I’ve had to replace a tire on my car from diving over one of them!). On top of this, they left a HUGE debris pile in our front yard FOR FOUR MONTHS. A neighbor finally called the city who came out and inspected and made them halt work because he HAD NO PERMIT! Apparently he doesn’t keep up to speed on code changes and didn’t think he needed one. My friend is now looking into the accounting end of this, as we suspect she has been greatly overcharged for labor.
While he was handling the permit, we realized a pair of our sawhorses was missing. Giving him the benefit of doubt, I sent him a text asking if maybe he or one of his crew mistakenly thought they belonged to them and took them. NO REPLY. Later that day we realized a $400 extension ladder was also missing! I sent another text, not so gently asking if he took it. NO REPLY. The next day I was so furious at the situation, I sent a third text and I flat out told him to return the sawhorses and ladder or we would file a police report.
His reply? “I will drop them off today” - HE ADMITTEDLY STOLE MY PROPERTY WHILE HE WAS WORKING FOR ME!
He proceeded to drop them at my house that evening without a single word to me. NO APOLOGY. NO EXPLANATION. NOTHING. I sent a text after he left, expressing my disgust at the entire situation. His reply? “Have a nice day. I believe our conversations have come to and end. Don’t contact me further.”
BEWARE! This man is a thief and a liar. DO NOT HIRE HIM. I am reporting him to the Contractors State Licensing Board. He should have his license revoked.
