We hired Vision Custom Build (VCB) for a full kitchen, pantry, and laundry remodel and strongly…read moreurge others to proceed with extreme caution. Our experience raised serious concerns regarding transparency, permitting practices, project management, and business representations. The project, represented as 8 weeks, extended to a frustrating 13 weeks with repeated delays, poor oversight, and 3 different project managers. A critical issue arose when we discovered that the individual representing himself as Aaron and our second project manager and owner of VCB, is also known as Sean and the owner of NV Kitchen and Bath. This dual identity and affiliation were never disclosed. In our view, this constitutes a material misrepresentation. Public records reflect a history of litigation involving NV Kitchen and Bath entities and the owner, which raises additional concerns about transparency and accountability. VCB pushed an aggressive, front-loaded payment structure tied to projected milestones rather than completed work, that goes against industry standards. We declined due to ongoing issues. Permitting was problematic: initially told permits were unnecessary despite major plumbing and electrical rework, and encouraged us to pull them ourselves shifting liability to us. Permits eventually pulled by VCB were obtained under third-party entities that did not perform the work, and they could not provide verifiable licensing for the foreman Ruben that performed the electrical and plumbing work. He told us that he had never heard of the company listed on our permits. These issues led to multiple failed inspections and serious electrical defects, including wiring errors that cut power to half our main floor. After final payment, additional electrical problems emerged (e.g., dimming under load), and VCB refused to address them without additional payment. We are not convinced that any "warranty" will ever be honored and are concerned about the long-term electrical safety and quality of the work completed. Additional issues included: * Inconsistent and incomplete cost documentation and credits * Major measurement errors in cabinets and crown molding requiring costly corrections and delays * Materials claimed "backordered" that had not been ordered * Installation of damaged, mismatched, and substandard/cheap materials that appeared to come from other jobsites, along with visible finish defects * Attempts to charge for correcting VCB's own errors, and attempts to charge twice for things in the contract and drawings * Property damage due to poor worksite practices resulting in damage and chip in new quartzite counters immediately after installation * Subcontractor payment disputes despite our account being current * Delays in initial permits and failure to schedule final inspections (we handled this ourselves) * Debris management did not comply with our HOA requirements despite prior notice. Work became sporadic, 1-2 days/week, towards the end, with minimal communication and ongoing delays. We ultimately hired other contractors at our own expense to complete portions of the project such as tile work, pantry completion, and other finishing work. We also sought legal counsel, in the event they abandoned the project. While some basic elements function, the overall execution and professionalism fell far short of what was promised and paid for. The undisclosed identity, litigation history, questionable permitting and licensing practices, and repeated performance failures raise concerns over safety and longevity. We strongly recommend thorough due diligence, including verifying licensing, permitting responsibility, litigation history, and true identity of company principals before engaging VCB. Any claims by this company that work and permits were started by any other contractor are false. ALL design, demo and work were completed solely by VCB, and any complications were the result of VCB's own errors.

I hired this company for a kitchen and home renovation project, but the workmanship and project…read moremanagement were disappointing. Several areas were left unfinished or poorly aligned -- including cabinet installation, flooring transitions, baseboards, and electrical placement inside cabinets. There were visible gaps and misaligned sections even after multiple visits. Communication was inconsistent, and it was difficult to get timely follow-up on corrections. The overall result did not meet professional standards for the price paid. I'm sharing photos to show the issues so others can make an informed decision. I would recommend verifying references and inspecting completed work before hiring. Never ever work with them

I was told that this lumber yard and Smoot's is owned by the same company. I came today to pick up some from moldings, because I'm in the process of re-finishing our basement myself. From what Ive seen so far, their prices are decent, and it's a huge lumber yard. They have an interesting showroom, and they carry all different kinds of molding. I don't like the pick-up system that is outside. After my order was paid, I was instructed to drive around to the back to pick-up my order. There were 10 other customers standing outside doing the same thing, and there is no real system or actual line in place. They would simply help whoever they felt like helping.

The cabinets I ordered are Kraftmaid and are themselves seemingly very good quality. However, more…read morethan one of the kitchen cabinets that were ordered by Tart for me have been too short, long, wide, etc. Bita (one of Tart's designers) brought to my house Abdou from Dahlia Design - which I was told by Bita is their preferred cabinet installer. Abdou and Bita took the initial measurements for my kitchen cabinets. We designed the cabinets and ordered them with these measurements. The total price for the kitchen cabinets was ~$21,130 (see invoice). Once the kitchen cabinets were ordered Bita referred me to Dahlia Design and told me I would deal directly with Abdou. The price Abdou quoted to install the kitchen cabinets, as well as three other bathroom vanities and a few small cabinets was $23,875 (see itemized quote) which was supposed to cover the cabinet install plus any other repair work. However, I already had contractors I hired for repair work. I did not use Dahlia Design because I did not need the extra repair work from them, instead I used another company who charged me $4,400 to install only the kitchen cabinets. During the kitchen cabinet installation, my installers almost immediately ran into issues with the size of some cabinets. The tall cabinet was too wide and too tall, the over the fridge cabinet was too wide, then both blind cabinets next to the sink were too short (width), and the seated cabinets were to long. The wood slabs that also came with the seated cabinets came too long and to wide, and Tart said it was the installer who would have to cut them down. The sizing of many cabinets was so wrong, that my installer (who told me before they did it) had to leave out filler pieces, cut my hardwood floor which wasn't supposed to be needed, double the size of the pony wall... all to make these cabinets work for my kitchen. However, the cabinet install still couldn't be completed. The pictures attached with this review are the final product for now, and some adjustments are needed to fix my kitchen. When I reached out to Tart about all of this, they basically denied any responsibility for how the cabinets turned out, followed by many excuses blaming me and my installers when my installers literally did their best to install these cabinets as is - including having to leave pieces out to get the cabinets to fit. After about a week of going back and forth with Beverly who is Tart's other designer, I finally got Tart to admit to some of their mistakes, but not enough to make a significant difference in how my kitchen turned out. I was also told that somewhere in the contract for the cabinets, in the fine print, the customer basically releases Tart of any responsibility for the measurements and that the burden is on the customer to make sure the measurements are correct. The customer being liable for the measurements was something that was never discussed between Bita and I. Had I known this, I would have insisted that I have my choice cabinet installer decided before the cabinets were even purchased, and that only my choice installer do the cabinet measurements. If you are seriously considering using Tart for cabinets, come with an installer already in hand, do not trust any measurements by Tart because they sneak verbiage into their work contract to basically absolve themselves of any liability for their mistakes so they can blame the customer... which to me screams scam so proceed with caution. When the cabinets are delivered and are not the right size, they do not automatically consider what was actually received by the customer (only after much back and forth), and instead only seriously consider what was recorded in their contract which they will use to escape having to correct any actual mistakes with the cabinets. In total I waisted ~$25,530 on these cabinets from Tart which includes the price to install them ($4,400), but not even the fee to deliver them which was ~ $200. I'll have to hire another company to come in and fix everything - possibly removing and replacing bad cabinets.

Amazing contractor!!!…read more Lawrence and his crew did a complete renovation of our basement to build an apartment for my parents. From the design through completion, it was a great experience. I found them here on Yelp and I obtained 3 quotes for the job. I had the quotes reviewed by an independent contractor who told me L&R's quote was what the job should reasonably cost. I called 4 references who all had a similar and very positive experience. Lawrence always communicated with me about schedule which had not been the case with other contractors. They were there working on my job every day, not showing up once or twice a week like some others. Any fluctuation to schedule or budget was discussed and agreed upon by both parties. We had a couple of unexpected plumbing delays but that was due to the original build not being up to the current code. I changed direction on a couple of design decisions and Lawrence was right there with me. The work was exceptional and the end product is amazing. I have had the nightmare contractor experience so was very cautious. This was exactly as the process should be and I plan to have them back in the fall to do more work.
