Just Another Carpenter

This is a warning, DO NOT under any circumstances do business with Just Another Carpenter LLC, the owner, Abrahaman Muhammad. He is contracting with customers, getting paid a deposit and then using that money to pay back previous jobs in which he screwed people out of their money. (Robbing Peter to Paul concept) He and his partner Nefi were contracted to remove the textured ceilings from my entire home, demo and remodel my bathroom and some other minor repair paint and fence jobs. Let me start with the ceiling work, they worked almost 8 days and only 2.5 rooms were half-way started and my entire home was a complete mess. The ceiling work done was less than stellar and sloppily done; then they got paint and plaster all over my floors and walls that were just recently done, plaster all on the front porch that was recently pressure washed. The partner and the worker they hired spent more time outside taking phone calls than working (I have it on my Ring camera which captures every angle of my house). Now for the demo of the bathroom, they literally cut and threw away everything-they cut the pipes to the tub and to the sink all the way to the wall and they threw away every single piece of plumbing hardware. This was not discovered until I had to cut ties with them and hire another contractor. I got 3 estimates for new contractors to complete all the work I contracted with them to do, they were all astonished that they cut the pipes the way they did and threw away all the plumbing. It cost me more money because I had to get a plumber to fix what they screwed up in the bathroom and pay for more paint/painters because the tape they used pulled the paint off the walls so that had to be repaired in the 2.5 rooms they worked on. I finally said this isn't working, the work is sloppy, and the project is getting drug out. I agreed to pay for the demo of the bathroom and to refund the remainder of the money so I could contract with someone else. We went back and forth via text and phone calls; Abrahaman is very disrespectful and rude, and I ensure you he would never talk to or address a man in the way he addressed me; however, I do not back down. We finally agreed to an amount for the refund and luckily, he had left some of his tools and ladders at the house; then he told me I had to wait 2 weeks for the refund, 2 weeks became 3 weeks and now today he finally paid part of the remainder of the refund but wanted me to wait another week for the remainder and I said absolutely not. Then he tells me, he can't pay all the agreed upon amount that is documented in text because he paid somebody else who won't pay him back his money so he doesn't have the money to pay me the balance we agreed upon...what does this have to do with me? At this point, it is not worth going back and forth, I will take the loss and I am the new owner to the tools/ladders he is not getting back. Abrahaman talks a good game and will promise you a deal when you contract for multiple services, but every deal isn't a deal-sometimes it is worse. Yea I would never, ever recommend this company...ever and I will also file a claim with BBB just so it is documented. I have pictures, videos, and text messages to back everything I am saying and I also have text messages from his partner who has now cut ties with him and he owes money to bad mouthing his work quality and taking money and not completing jobs.

On 5/23 /2024 I decided to hire Just Another Carpenter to paint 3 rooms, install a window, install pipes, install fixtures for a bathroom, and install a floor for a closet room for my 79 year old Grandmother. Muhammad the owner received a $1350 deposit from me to start the work. Later on 5/28/2024 he received $1400 dollars to install the window and the pipes and fixtures. On 5/28 he received another $500 because he said he needed the rest of the money for the window install before he completed the job. Later on Sunday 5/02 /2024 my aunt calls me telling me that the water pipes that he installed did not work because when they turned on the shower water was leaking through the wall. This is when Muhammad became frustrated and said that was not the problem, but clearly there is video evidence of that. He came to the house and said that the dry wall hasn't had time to dry, and that was the issue in his opinion, but that was not the problem, it was the pipes. The next following day 5/03/2024 he called me and said that he couldn't return back until Wednesday and that his employees quit. He asked for the remaining balance in which I sent him another $1,025 dollars. to complete. He never returned to fix Anything. He left a Complete Mess! He painted with one coat, left paint on the carpet, left the window unfinished, left the floor a disaster! The plumbing still doesn't work properly. He also insulted my 79 year old Widowed grandmother and my 80 year old aunt about being single. He also insulted black women in America, in which was disrespectful! This had nothing to do with his awful work. The only thing that Muhammad has returned was $1025 on 6/04/24 for the window. I have received nothing else. I believe that he is reporting fake reviews to get people interested in his work! This company has really put us in a hard spot. Now I have to pay another Company to go behind his awful work! There is a review about him taking advantage of elderly customers.

Bewhere ! Abrahaman Muhammad owner of Just another Carpenter He is an unconscionable conman and liar and seriously knows nothing about construction. My husband and I hired him to refurbish a home we have in Georgia, we live out of state and we paid this man $44,000. He took our money and in return pretty much destroyed our house. Unfortunatly we are out of state and although we tried to communicate with him every day, he was not very responsive. Also, we were being manipulated by pictures that were posed and false of work supposedly done. When we finally did travel to Georgia we saw he started projects all over the house and never completed any of them. Everything he touched from painting the walls, which looked like they never took a tack cloth to clean the walls and just painted it over them to putting up backsplash ( with no spacers in between) in the kitchen, to rebuilding our decks. Which were all warped and unbalanced with improper spacing between the spindles (which you can see in my pictures.) All of it was done poorly, unprofessionally and none of it was done too state code. The plumbing he did which was so amateur he caused two leaks while he was there which he covered up and never disclosed to us. He left us with Mold, which we then had to remediate. He and his workers were so careless in our home they caused huge scratches and deep grooves in our beautiful cherry wood floors that now we have to replace them. However, before he ruined them, he took pictures of our home and posted them on TikTok, showing our beautiful floors, passing them off as his own work. More lies and misrepresentation to be aware of . He managed to cause an electrical burn on our brand new appliance while doing electrical work. He painted our cabinets that looked like a five-year-old painted them with streaks and bubbles as if they were never sanded and only painted over, so disappointing. Our project was supposed to be 2 months and it turned out being 6 months because he kept telling us that he couldn't keep reliable workers. In his mild and humble demeanor he swindled us so badly and when we finally saw everything he did months later we were shocked. When we confronted him he didn't deny his negligence and shoddy work. He admitted that he took our money to use it for other projects, profusely apologized to us, hung his head in shame and claimed full accountability. He swore to pay us back With in two weeks and showed us a picture of an impending loan he was being approved for. He never paid us, and that was 2 months ago. He just disappeared. My new contractor who is wonderful has since ripped out everything he has done and started from scratch this project has cost me us much of our savings, so sad for us.
