Unreliable and Untrustworthy Contractor
The reviewer, Aj T., had a terrible experience with DC Forbes, a contractor who was hired to renovate their home. The project was initially agreed upon at a contract price, but the contractor exceeded the budget by almost $150,000 without any authorization.
Misleading and Dishonest Business Practices
The reviewer accuses DC Forbes of "lowballing" his bid to get the job and then ignoring the contract. Despite being assured that the price was doable, the contractor proceeded to exceed the budget without justification.
Unprofessional Behavior
When the reviewer refused to pay the entire amount without justification of the expenses, DC Forbes disappeared, leaving them with outstanding items. The reviewer warns others to be cautious of the contractor's "nice guy" persona, which is seemingly used to gain trust.
Disagreement with Industry Awards
The reviewer expresses disagreement with the contractor's award-winning status from the CHBA/NBHBA, suggesting that this type of behavior is not representative of a reputable contractor.
