Default Rough idle after Timing Belt Change

So a mechanic i know did a timing belt job for me(Water pump and all that with a whole kit.) I picked up the car drove it home, noticed in the morning when i turned it on and let it warm up that at idle i could definitely tell it was louder, and the car itself was shaky. If i put my hands on the steering wheel i can feel the vibration a lot. Now hes going to open it up and make sure everythings all lined up and all that with a timing gun this weekend. Is there anything i can check in the mean time that may cause these symptoms?
PS. It wasnt that way before the job. Thanks for your help HT.

If it wasn't like that before then he didn't set the timing marks/balance shaft/crankshaft correctly. Refer him to here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-accord-1990-2002-2/how-replace-timing-belt-timing-balancer-belt-water-pump-f22b1-1908944/
