Sean Harren

Rip off

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33334

recently purchased a property in Oakland Park and needed to replace the doors. I contacted SEAN HARREN, who advertises frequently in HotSpots magazine. He use's the motto: "I Show up." Well, he doesnt "show up." I made an appoinment with Harren to pick up the doors at HD and install them. After numerous broken appointments and lame excuses, he finally did arrive, days after the original appointment. He and his helper did a shitty, rushed job, leaving huge gaps at the top and bottom of the doors. He didnt finish the plastering at the top of one door, claiming he didnt have enough plaster, but would return the following day to finish the job and clean up the huge mess they made. His helper stole a tape measure I left sitting on a countertop. I saw it happen and giving the guy the benefit of the doubt , I thought I would get it back the following day when they returned. Sean Harren then presented me with his bill, an over charge to be very sure, but I paid it in good faith. Well, you guessed it. Harren never did return and failed to return my numerous calls to him. He did call back once, though, and whined about having family problems and assured me he would return the next day and finish what he had been paid to do.Of course, he didnt do that, either. I was forced to hire someone else to finsh the job and correct Sean Harren's shoddy work.He has never returned, nor has he offered to make it right in any manner whatever. I must commend him on one thing though, he was VERY prompt and efficient when it came to cashing my check. If you need a handyman or a job done, DO NOT HIRE SEAN HARREN. He is a typical, shoddy , dishonest contractor.

My name is David In Ft. Lauderdale. I have been using Sean Harren as my handyman for 3 years. He has always been on time for every appointment, and has always gone over and beyond with the quality of his work and his professionalism as a business man. He has always been fair with his rates, and is more then trustworthy. You must be mistaken or there is more to this story thats been left out.
David.
thats why i believe in Karma
Handyman Sean Harren And his Pal Daniel Curtis are both in jail now... be aware whom you hire to work at you house.....
I was very surprised to see the negative review posted here. Sean Harren "I Show Up" just completed a huge job at my home and I couldn't have been more impressed. He completed a kitchen remodel that I have been putting off for years. Not only did he complete it ahead of schedule but under budget. We could not be happier with his service. Sean was at my home when he was supposed to be and the quality of his work is excellent. After the kitchen remodel I had Sean do some work around my pool and I could not be happier with that either. Great guy, honest guy, excellent work ethic..... Nothing more to say
Mr. Oakland Park, you hit it right on the head. His motto should be " I show up, collect, and leave". He did the same thing to the Sanctuary House and left us with work undone, whining and crying about all his woohhhhs, only after being paid. As for his little buddies, Treated Wrong is one of them. Treated Wrong is actually a wack job name Louis that has been using this website to carry on his stalking after the same kind of bad behavior at our facility. "Treated" is just another nut that will scam, beg, and bolt. So, take solice in the fact that he's not getting out of jail/prison for a long time to come. (minimum mandatory 5 to 7 years)
I was the Executive at this facility that stuck my name out there to get him out of the big house the first time. Karma is a woman, with a short temper and a long memory. She'll remember this little band of criminals for a long time to come. HE IS NOT A LICENSED CONTRACTOR. Feel free to contact city attorney. Posing as a contractor is a felony. You might be able to get some of your money back.
Oh, one other thing, "Treated Wrong" couldn't have hired him, he was living in a non-profit halfway house and left here, like Sean, owing a bill. There is no "house", just bad people.
