The Noke's Handyman

THIS IS OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE NOKE'S HANDYMAN:The Noke's Handyman, Mark Hodges, and his partner, Chris Delonzo, contracted with us to do several jobs around our house for a total of $8,950, for which they requested a 50% deposit; so, we gave them a check from our Equity Line Account for $4,475 dated 1/21/21. They were contracted to start work on 2/16/21. They removed debris from behind our garage on the 16th and made arrangements to meet at Home Depot to have us purchase materials for continuing the job but then called with excuses due to weather; so, the material buying moved to 2/23/21. They worked for 4 hours on 2/24/21 putting down an additional layer of subflooring in our mudroom. They also started an electrical outlet receptacle in the bathroom and completed1/3 of the flooring in our mudroom the following day. Since that date we have been contacted with more excuses and later dates to come and continue working. Culminating in phone calls and texts on 3/4/21 informing us that Mark and Chris are no longer partners and would no longer be working on our home improvement projects and when asked to return our $4,475 deposit, we have been told to 'talk to our lawyers'. We have also been informed that Mark Hodges is filing for bankruptcy. Chris Delonzo, in a separate phone call with my wife, indicated that he couldn't walk away from completing the contract and would be happy to continue doing the work. When my wife asked him about getting Mark's portion of the deposit returned to us, Chris then informed her that he would not be continuing the work.

Mark is a terrible workman, and took advantage of my elderly mother. She needed some sliding shelves installed, and they didn't slide from day 1. The shelf edges were not straight, the screws not flush, the braces wobbly and numerous calls to his number, and even more e-mails were met with lies and putoffs. The selves never slid out without extreme force and much bumping. He blamed my mother for chosing cheap brackets, and I was there and she wanted it just to work...and he chose the brackets!
