Stay Away!!! Normally I hate to give a review this low but in this case it is absolutely deserved. I just learned that he is not above doing some shady stuff if you dont give them your business. The estimate was higher than competitors so I decided to use someone else. This is a situation where its better that you dont engage with the business at all.
