Morris Home Services is a Gloucester handyman business, and a 2022 BuildZoom customer said they hired Russell Morris for a complete bathroom renovation and had to fire him before it was done. That 2022 customer said the shower insert was installed without leveling and without replacing the rotting wood, and that they now had to pay another contractor to undo and fix the mistakes. The same 2022 reviewer said Russell Morris changed the agreed terms and prices after starting, charged 10 extra hours at $85 an hour, and asked for full payment for a bathroom left incomplete. In that 2022 review, the customer also said he showed up a day late, yelled profanity within 10 minutes of arriving, left a mess they vacuumed every day, and hung up the phone on them. The company describes itself as a small handyman and property-management business handling home repairs, carpentry, tiling, kitchen and bathroom remodels and landlord property upkeep across the North Shore. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 198348, in the name of Morris Home Services LLC, is active on the state registry.
BAIT AND SWITCH - STAY AWAY. I hired Russell Morris (Morris Home Services) for a COMPLETE BATHROOM RENOVATION. We verbally agreed upon a price and exactly what needed to be done. After starting the job Russell Morris changed the terms that we agreed to. Russell Morris INCORRECTLY installed a shower insert without leveling and replacing the rotting wood. (see pics) After Russell Morris incorrectly installed the shower insert over the rotting wood, and put up some sheetrock, Russel Morris told me that "He is done with the bathroom renovation and wanted payment in full." I have attached pictures of what a Russell Morris (Morris Home Services) considered a complete bathroom. I now have incurred damages as a result of Russell Morris and must now pay another contractor to undo and fix Russell Morris's mistakes. Russell Morris: He showed up a day late, Within 10-minutes of arriving, he yelled out profanity language, at the top of his lungs. Very unprofessional, Short-tempered, Did not do what we agreed to, Did NOT complete what he agreed to, Changed the prices that we had already agreed to, Charged me 10 extra hours at $85 an hour, Did NOT complete the job, yet asked for full payment, Horrible communication, you'll have no idea when he's coming or going, or coming back, "I" had to vacuum EVERY DAY when he left for the day, Russel Morris made an absolute mess. He was mad that "he" did not plan properly and HUNG the phone up on me. I had to FIRE Russell Morris. The pictures attached show the state in which Russell Morris (Morris Home Services) left my bathroom; incomplete.
