A-Z Complete Home Maintenance & Repairs

I have hired Christopher Wright several times since December 2011 for handyman services. Apparently, hiring a handyman in the winter when he is hungry bodes well for work being done timely as stated. I made the mistake of prepaying for some work to be completed within three days. This was poor judgment but I had used Chris’ services so many times in the last 5 months and had gotten to know him. Apparently, Chris didn’t feel he needed to finish the work and had overcharged me due to miscalculations and did really sloppy work in the end. I let him know that I would be contacting the Maryland Home Improvement Commission about getting reimbursement. His response was no problem as other claims have been filed against me. Apparently he has too much work and could care less about his reputation or honoring commitments (especially to a customer helping him out when he couldn’t pay his bills). He took my check, cashed it and didn’t return for a couple of days. He came back 3 times after payment of the last check but refused to complete the work. He actually felt it appropriate to stay home due to the cost of gas ($ 60) even though he just cashed a check from me for $ 1754.55. He even told me my work wouldn’t take priority over others who had not prepaid him and I would have to wait. So he has been living off my payment and working for others or sittting home. Expensive lesson learned by me. Will not give handymen benefit of the doubt even with established relationship. Note the invoices list Laurel but he actually runs his business out of Ackoceek, MD. BEWARE!!!
