Great tile work on the bathroom floor and in the tub surround…read more HOWEVER... The installer scratched the tub AND incorrectly reinstalled the toilet. When I called Floro about my scratched tub, he hung up on me. A few months after the tile installation, we knew something was wrong when we saw water leaks on the ceiling of the room below the recently tiled bathroom. The plumber we hired said the height of the tile prevented the toilet from being installed correctly: the stack needed to be extended. Essentially, the water was leaking into the subfloor. When I called Floro about the toilet being installed incorrectly and that I had to hire a plumber to fix the problem, he said "what can I say" and hung up again on me. I suggest you think twice before working with this group.

Watch Out Sub Contractors! Nea Maya does not pay or…read morenegotiate change orders. As a Plumbing Contractor in the Chicago Land Area, Nea Maya stuck us with over $20,000 in unpaid change orders. This cost was generously adjusted after we took into consideration of his undocumented grievances just so we could get paid, only to still not get paid for requested work performed. Nea Maya has problems with developing a schedule, understanding their own drawings and designs and trade scope of work. When issues and follow ups on change orders were requested for months went unanswered until time of final payment we were presented of back charges and suspect labor that were not backed up by invoices tickets or warnings. Just vague photos. In 20 plus years of being in this business, Nea Maya and Zach Joseph as the worst general contractors to do business with. If zero stars was an option I would choose a zero. 1 star gives them too much credit.

READ!!! IT MAY SAVE YOU A GREAT DEAL…read more If you need peace in your life, avoid Nea Maya business in general. I bought a home worth more than half a million dollars from Nea Maya but it has been the worst experience of my life. They are completely unprofessional. Once you close on the house, they will stop responding to you. They advertise luxury homes but used cheap products. We have been here since September of 2020 and they still have not completed our punch list. They will lie and give excuses about covid but covid is not stopping them from building new units beside our unit. They will tell you some of the items such as countertops that we chose have life time warranty but we noticed a crack in the countertop and notify them and they came back with it is not covered. This is my fault because we did not inspect before moving in. We just trusted Nea Maya blindly and we learned the terrible lesson from trusting this company. We live in phase two but one of the occupants of the phase one hard to get a lawyer involved before they could respond. First winter in the house, the whole house started leaking. I first noticed the leak on the third floor and notified Nea Maya in December but as usual, they did not respond until February when the leaks has gotten to second floor and first floor and the walls and ceiling are already saggy. Even the floors are bumpy. They blame bad weather and I understand but wondered how other houses did not leak even though they are older. Truth came out when a public adjuster came to inspect and showed us the cheap materials that they used to do a terrible job. Please see photos attached. They installed HVAC system wrongly and did not leave room for contractors to correct their terrible and they will argue with you even though instructions are clear from the HVAC manufacturer. After getting an HVAC company to inspect, they were clear when they said the HVAC system that is supposed to last 20 years can barely last for 5 years with the way it was installed. Your HVAC insurance will also not cover the damage because the builder did not follow the installation instructions. Finally, I am putting this out here in an effort to protect another American from going through this but if you think that this is from an angry customer, take some time to go and talk to other occupants of the so called luxury home that they built on Lincoln and Floral ave Skokie, illinois. If you are buying a property that expensive, I think proper investigation will be a wise thing for you to do. Don't make the same mistake that I made. Think about it, there is a reason that they are not a BBB accredited business.

Hands down Adrian Pop is the man. Not only does he know vinyl flooring but he knows about wood…read moreflooring as well. He is a work horse and does amazing work. Also he's a one man show! He works early and stays late. He came as a referral from homebuilders we know. We brought him on to rip out the carpet in the basement and guest bedroom upstairs. We came to an agreement and both rooms would be one flat fee but I would have to buy the material for the basement flooring. Which was fine because he ended up picking up 19 boxes/445 sq feet of flooring from Floor and Decor for me! Between ripping out the carpets, installing the new floors, disposal of the carpets and staining the wood floor in the guest bedroom upstairs, it took him about 4 days. When I say he works his butt off, he works his butt off. One day he must've worked 9 hours straight without a meal! I offered to buy him lunch but he refused. He's a super nice guy and will work hard for you. After finishing up yesterday, he said he's been doing flooring for over 20 years. His works shows such! I wish him continued success! In

Once we did they got back with a quote and told us we had to put X amount down to hold our spot. They were booked out 6+ months out. We sent over the deposit and we were happy to wait. The cost of painting the cabinets was 30% of what it was to get new LOW END cabinets. Combine that savings with this company's 5 star reviews, we were happy to wait our turn for them. It's a good sign when they have a waiting list.   The attention to detail that Lenny's sister has while painting and caulking- it shows they take true pride in their work. When she would leave at the end of the day, she would wrap all her stuff up and leave the kitchen as nice as she could (all things considered). She understood we have 3 small kids (2yo,3yo,4yo) so we needed the kitchen accessible when they left. She made sure we could use it after they were gone for the day. The end product (as you can see from the photos) is beautiful. It looks even better in person! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have cabinets refinished.   One heads up-They do everything via email so that was a tad different. I guess I assumed they'd need to see the kitchen in person not just pictures to get a proper quote. But when they came in the first day, the amount due never changed. No hidden fees. Lenny does a great job sending a DETAILED email with timelines etc. That was very helpful. If you need them VIA phone, you can always email Lenny and he will call you. Very warm family owner business, made you comfortable to have them in your home!
