Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
Detailed reviews
I hired Buildscope to do painting work in my rental property which started within a week. They did everything except the bathroom as I had asked them to put a shower in for me first as a separate job. They were paid in full for the paint work. Then problems started. They charged me 2 days work for a 1 day job for the shower, unfinished, left damage/rubbish everywhere/ They never came back to finish painting the bathroom, or clear their mess. I asked for a return of funds for the incomplete work, the owner said he would but kept making excuses and then blocked my number. AVOID AT ALL COST.
