We hired Vitaliy to help us renovate our upstairs bathroom due to a leak. He replaced the floor and installed a brand new walk-in shower. As much as I would have loved it I'm so disappointed with the outcome. The first time I took a shower I mentioned to him that the shower base creaks loudly, and he told me he put expanding foam to help it, but if that doesn't work then there's nothing else he can do unless I buy another base. It doesn't make any sense as this was all brand new. Also he states that the shower base was made from cheap material, that's why he says it creaks. I can assure you it was not cheap at all. I spent an approximate $1,200 on that walk-in shower so I'm sure it's not because it's made from "cheap" material. The only areas that don't creak are the edges where he used the foam. However, right in the middle of the shower base is where it creaks the most, and when you press on it, you can tell there isn't any cushion between the floor and the base. As more days have passed, I've noticed a lot of imperfections from his work. He left a big scratch and two holes in my wall, he has left boot marks on the shower base that I can't get rid of, the glass doors constantly keep sliding down and they are not parallel to the walls so water escapes, he didn't finish the baseboard around the vanity, and finally, the metal carpet trim that transitions from the bathroom floor to hallway was placed crooked - one side is in the middle of the door frame while the other side extends past it.
I did have to ask him to come back a second time because the leak was not resolved. Thankfully he found that problem and fixed it. However I spent good money on this remodel and I'm not satisfied with the outcome.
I have spent too much time trying to look for someone else to fix this issue since he said there's nothing else he can do. Overall I thought I was getting a good deal for this renovation but in the end it's costing me more to fix a problem I didn't even start with. What a nightmare! Would not recommend this business to anyone! read more
