This was a six-figure remodel that looks acceptable only at a distance. Up close, the workmanship and quality control are far below what was contracted and paid for, and the most serious issue is unpermitted work that directly harms the homeowner.
Key issues:
* No permits pulled for electrical work, bathroom remodels, or major door installation (sliding/nana-style door)
* Bathrooms were not properly waterproofed, resulting in a significant leak from the upstairs sink and shower into the kitchen below
* Level 5 wall finish was explicitly contracted and not delivered
* Paint applied over fixtures and fire sprinklers, impairing function and creating safety concerns
* Poor finish work throughout: uneven surfaces, peeling paint, exposed gaps, unsecured fixtures, and visible installation shortcuts
Because required permits were not obtained, I am now exposed to liability, disclosure requirements when selling, potential fines, and reduced home value. This is not a cosmetic complaint--it is a material and legal issue that the contractor failed to address.
Premium materials do not excuse substandard labor, lack of oversight, and permit avoidance. I would not recommend this contractor to any homeowner expecting professional-grade work or code-compliant execution.
Extra update not added on original review:
I do not recommend Nima at all. This experience caused serious safety issues, stress, and legal problems as a homeowner.
Water from the upstairs shower/sink leaked into the kitchen ceiling and through a recessed light fixture while electricity was on, causing the light to flicker. I have video evidence showing water actively coming through the ceiling and around the light. Seeing water pour through an electrical fixture inside your home is terrifying and created a real fear of electrical shock or fire.
This occurred during a six-figure renovation, yet plumbing and bathroom work were done without proper permits and without correct waterproofing. The leak originated from upstairs plumbing and was not treated as an emergency.
What made this situation far worse is that Nima completely abandoned the project. He stopped responding to calls and messages and refused to address the dangerous conditions he caused. As a homeowner, this left me dealing with unsafe living conditions, hidden water and electrical damage, and serious legal and resale risks due to unpermitted work.
Because of his lack of accountability and abandonment of the job, I was forced to take legal action, including pursuing recovery through his contractor's bond. No homeowner should be put in this position.
This was not cosmetic work gone wrong. This was a dangerous failure that directly impacted my safety, my home, and my peace of mind. I strongly urge anyone considering this contractor to verify permits independently and proceed with extreme caution. read more
