Baychoo Contracting

He seemed liked a okay guy until I heard his troublesome backstory. I thought I would give him the opportunity to redeem himself.

He subcontracted the installation to my garage door. It was missing windows and a handle on the outside. Apparently, it was smaller than expected, and they had to do an work-around. So, yeah...he Lacks an attention for detail.

Secondly, I wanted to have him do a home addition. Just for blueprints, I was quoted a lot more than other contractors ($800). I received a pdf file that didn't seem like it was worth the money.

Because he was asking for a lot of money (thousands) to move forward, I was asking him to provide an invoice for the work that will be done (so I would have some record). I never saw or heard from him again. Perhaps, I am lucky I only lost $800 (oppose to thousands of $$$).

Made the worse decision ever to hire Clinton (Baychoo Contracting) to renovate our house.

Various reasons to come to this conclusion:
1) Commitment of 3-4 weeks stretched to over 8 months. Yes, that’s right!! He’s been in our house for more than 8 months now and still haven’t finished the work that he promised. Guess what the work involved was!! Kitchen and 2 bathroom renos, yes that’s it. Before starting the work Clinton assured us that he has a lot of Contractors working for him so he will make sure he has someone working in our house all the time. But nope, someday there used to be only him working, and too once in a week, may be for an hour or two. That’s it!
2) Paid him around $22000 for the work whenever he asked for money, for which he promised to provide Invoices. However, no invoices provided till date. Followed up several times but kept saying next time. One day finally we told him we would like to know where our money was spent. And guess what, what he had to say?? He said he lost the invoices. Is he really serious about this?? How can you take money from your client on the promise of providing the receipts and lose the invoices? How irresponsible can someone get.
3) Promised to fix our main door and guess how long he delayed it, 3 months, yes, that’s right. Took him more than 3 months to fix our MAIN door.
4) He started finishing our basement without even providing us the quote how much it is going to cost us.
5) Have posted the pictures of the poor quality of work that he’s done. Poor work in the kitchen, ceiling unfinished, bathroom tiles grout is so unprofessionally done, feels I could have done it better myself, bathroom paint is unfinished.

Finally, we had to ask him to leave our property as couldn’t deal with him and his unprofessionalism anymore. Now, we have to find someone else to clear all the mess he has created/left.

Good luck hiring BAYCHOO CONTRACTING / CLINTON.

We initially hired Clinton because he gave us a good price and we liked his friendly and down-to-earth approach.

Clinton did several jobs for us: He started by building a wall in our loft to create an office. This included framing, drywall, paint, door, and trim. We were very happy with the work, so when we urgently needed our old backsplash, drywall, countertop, and sink removed in the kitchen, we contacted him. When he saw that the kitchen sink didn't have a shut-off, he installed one.
We then hired Clinton to put in new drywall and glass backsplash in the kitchen. He also hooked up all plumbing, and installed the dishwasher, including extra electrical and plumbing work.
All the contractors that Clinton brought in and recommended (plumber, electrician, tile installer, and HVAC) were very professional and they did excellent work.
We are already planning our next project with Clinton.
