Update: Kaleem asked us to take the review down in exchange for him coming out and completing the project by a set due date. We were sorely mistaken to have trusted him to actually do the work as promised. Instead of keeping his word and integrity we yet again got sucked into a back and forth of lies and deception and on top of it all disgusting threats. I am adding this all to say that we took the high road, trusted Kaleem against all odds and got screwed over again. I cannot stress enough to NOT trust this man!
Kaleem originally did $5,000 worth of concrete for my husband and I. We wrote up a contract, walked through the project, and solidified everything in person before hand. The first red flag should have been that the contract was written on notebook paper but after that, before the project even started, the second red flag should have been the countless unanswered promises of the start date. Texts promising he'll be there today, tomorrow, he'll be there at 3, waiting around and changing schedules for nothing. After nearly a month Kaleem and his team finally came out, and while I will say his team was incredible, Kahleem on the other hand is extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. After starting the project he incorrectly mapped the driveway, opposed to what was agreed upon in the contract, which led to an extra $1,000 that needed to be paid for the correction, which we ended up covering to ease animosity. Upon completion of only the pouring of the concrete, Kaleem promised to come back to finish digging out the culverts at the end of the driveway, as our yard is in a flood zone, and sodding the patches he destroyed during the project, which was stated in the verbal contract. It has now been 3 months with a documented 12 broken promises to come out to resod, dig the culvert, measure, etc to fix the issues. It has even gone so far as to ignoring and ghosting us when asking for updates and timelines. He'll say it's because people are in front of us but how? Our project was never finished to begin with? We are now left with a yard incredibly worse than we started and culverts that have begun to erode while waiting for what feels like a dead end. Kaleem will say that he doesn't "work for free", however i truly believe he is just a dishonest, deceptive, scammer who will nickel and dime you and then leave you with nothing. I know Kaleem is more affordable than most other contractors, but you get what you pay for and unfortunately this company has caused astronomically more issues after the fact than before. Learn from my mistakes and steer as far away from him and his company as possible. read more
