REVIEW OF NTATE DAVID (HANDYMAN)
“He did work for us that was not very high quality, insisted on our purchasing supplies that he then did not use, and then he brought in another person to help him out without consulting us first. He ended up insisting that we pay both him and the assistant he brought an exorbitant rate. Overall we were very disappointed in his work and the way we felt he took advantage of us, and would not recommend him again to anyone.”
