Handyman Plus

Hired Francois Bonnefoi as a handyman. Asked him to do a drive-​by and give me an estimate for doing some work. Charged me for something I didn’t ask for, then said I owed him for past work as well, but could never tell me what that was for. I was in New York at the time, and he left his address and amount to be paid on my voicemail. He then left a series of increasingly histrionic voicemails demanding payment. I assured him i would pay upon my return in a week. He then left a vulgar and insulting voicemail telling me not to pay and not to call him. I sent a letter saying I am happy to pay anyway, just send me an invoice. He called over and over, threatening to put a lien on my house, with a string of rude, unprofessional and personal insults. After the last call, I called the Auburn Police Department and they suggested I get a restraining order. I sent him the check, including payment for the work he never could identity or document.
I strongly discourage anyone from using this guy. His behavior with me was irrational and unprofessional. I have never been threatened or treated that way by a contractor, particular for a very small bill. He refuses to invoice and threatened liens and «teaching me a lesson.»
A very bad actor.
