I had to fire Nick Taylor of Atlas Constructors because he raised the price of the job after the contract was agreed upon. He was extremely behind schedule and I could not see an end in sight with the methods he employed. I ran out of confidence when the men working under him openly questioned his knowledge of his trade in front of him and myself. Basically, he walked away with $1, 350 of my money for simply ripping out my carpet. I would definitely not recommend fronting him any money for a project. He doesn't seem to have the capital to get through a single day of work, and that alone should not inspire any confidence in this man or his business. I was told later by two of his workers that he had not paid them for their work and would not return their phone calls.
