B P & G Contractors Inc

I hired Brian Pickett, who is the owner/President of BP & G Contracting, to install a gas cooktop & hook up 2 sets of gas logs in our fireplaces. When he started the job I hadn't bought the 2 sets of logs for the fireplaces yet so he told me that when I got them it wouldn't be a problem for him to just come back over & quickly hook them up because he'd "already done all the ground work" for them & that the actual hooking up process would only take a few mins. So I made the mistake of paying for the WHOLE job but he only did part of the work. I went & bought the logs & called him back to come hook them up. He would NOT answer his phone OR return any of the numerous messages that I left him. Finally one day he DID answer his cell phone & was very rude to me but agreed to come finish the work I'd paid him for. So we set a date & time & he never showed...and never showed. Finally I'd had enough so I called the place that we'd bought the logs from on University Dr. & asked them to send someone over to hook them up. So they did. Several days later...unannounced Brian Pickett showed up at my door without calling me first or even letting me know that he was coming or why he hadn't come 3 days earlier at the agreed upon time & I told him that I'd already had someone come over & paid them to hook the logs up & that it cost me $140 & I showed him the receipt & told him that he owed me $140 for what I had to spend to get someone else to do the work I'd already paid HIM to do. He claimed that he would "send me a check" and of course he never did. I filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau but he was SO cantankerous that he refused to pay me the money he owed me to get the claim closed properly. Even THEY couldn't get him to do the right thing. I do NOT suggest ANYONE use him. He is nice when you first meet him & then he turns into Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. He is NOT trustworthy & he is rude to him employees. The one guy that he had working with him accidentally fell thru my ceiling & he was SO rude to him right in front of me & then he didnt want to paint my ceiling to fix it properly! This guy is a REAL Piece of work I'll tell you! There are too many other contractors who can do this type work...you don't have to use someone that you already know has a terrible reputation like this guy. Just get someone else! The lowest review option available is "Poor-Fair" & that is not accurate. I wouldn't even give this guy a poor/fair review. He was down right HORRIBLE! They need an option of "nightmare experience"!!! That's what I'd call my experience with Brian Pickett of BP & G Contracting :-\
