Client Reviews
"After I hired Wayne, the scope of the job increased when he investigated further. He said he would still complete the work. That's where the communication ended. I can't get a response from him, and no work was done. I lost my deposit as I, unfortunately, gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited too long to escalate the issue. I'm not sure what happened to him, but I had a really bad experience."
