David responded within minutes, scheduled us within the week, and finished within days! We wanted a quick demolition of our current shower situation to replace with a brand new tub with tile and a complete floor remodel. He was very professional, worked well with our quick timeline and budget, and made sure we were completely satisfied! We were so happy to hire him and will hire him again!

He cancelled the job less than 12 hours before it was supposed to start because I wouldn’t deposit 63% ($5,505) before the project started. There are more professional vendors on Thumbtack.

David McArthur's reply
To clarify, the estimate provided to you included a $1000 deposit, which was never received. The CC invoice had $5505 due which included the unpaid deposit, the first installment of $4451 due on the work start date, and the additional credit card processing fee. You were made aware of these details several days in advance. This is outlined in the estimate you received the first day we spoke. The payment order of deposit, initial payment when work begins, and final payment after work is complete is clearly outlined on the estimate. The picture you show seems to neglect this part. The job cancellation was a result of your last-minute decision not to pay the deposit or the initial installment. You texted me last minute stating you were not going to pay the deposit or the initial payment and you’d consider only paying “like $200” until the job was completed. This put us in a difficult position, especially after materials were purchased and our demo team was scheduled. Our priority is to maintain fair and honest business practices and only work with people that share those values. We stand by our commitment to ethical conduct and transparency. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings and provides a fuller picture of the circumstances.

Below are two photos of my shower. On the left is the part of the process you don’t see. On the right is the almost finished shower. As you can see, the workmanship is excellent. David pays attention to details and he communicated with me throughout the process. He said it would take seven days and it did. His estimate was accurate. He’s not cheap but you get what you pay for. I’m very pleased with the final product. I’m happy to recommend David’s company.
