Lived at Fayne Apartments (studio) for 2 years. Very unluxury living but doable for people looking…read morefor little more than a roof over their heads. Could find a much better place for the price. (650 not including utilities) Pros: - Excellent location to Case Campus and uptown. - Quiet area. - Adequate heating via steam radiator throughout winter. Good water heat/pressure. - Relatively safer part of university circle area, though I would still exercise caution late at night. - Water and heat included. Responsive management to simple maintenance requests - No fuss with moving out and getting deposit back Cons: - When I moved in, my unit was infested with roaches which took about 6 months to resolve. They just kept sending the same guy to spray more and more pesticides to the point where I started feeling sick and developing a cough. They finally sealed off some holes in the walls after I hounded management, and I never saw a roach again after that. - My bathroom ceiling fell in because of an upstairs leak - Street parking is available but difficult to grab a spot - Old school lock and key security - Mail just gets dropped communally on the front steps and I've had a package stolen once out of ~20 deliveries - Window was very poorly sealed so people smoking or talking on the street made it seem like they were basically inside your apartment - The flooring was ancient hardwood which gave me splinters sometimes. It was bowing so badly that my desk chair kept rolling away and I had to put 5inches of hardwood beneath the legs on one side of my bed otherwise it felt like I was sleeping on the side of a hill.

I politely asked to be released from the lease because rodents was not part of the deal. Their reply was for me to sublet the apartment for the final 2 months. Why would I sublet an apartment that has mice? My other issue is they changed laundry companies without notification and left me holding the bag with a $14 credit from the previous company. I was told I should work out getting my money back from the laundry company as they are a 3rd party vendor with Montlack Realty and there is no obligation from Montlack Realty to resolve this issue. WOW!!

DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU WANT THIS TO BE YOUR LAWN 5 MONTHS LATER…read more Extremely disappointed with the service and follow-up from this company. After a $15K+ plumbing job at my elderly mother's home, they left a two-foot-high mound of dirt in the front yard that looks like a grave. When I first called, I was told "it will settle" and that they "didn't add dirt," so everything would be fine. Five months later, the pile is still there, completely unchanged. When I followed up, I spoke with a man claiming to be the owner, who refused to give his name. He told me the reason for the dirt pile was that we had received a "landscaping discount" and that if I wanted the yard fixed, I should pay a landscaper myself. For the record, the actual reason we received a discount was because they initially misdiagnosed the source of the flooding in our basement. We were told their solution would fix the problem. When it flooded again shortly after, they admitted it was due to a different issue. That is why we were given a partial discount, not because we declined landscaping services. I explained that leaving a huge mound of dirt in someone's front yard is not a landscaping issue. It is unfinished work. I even asked if I waited a full year and the dirt still hadn't settled, would they fix it then. He said no, they still wouldn't do anything. When I asked to record the call to confirm I was understanding him correctly, he hung up on me. Leaving the yard in this condition, with no attempt to do the bare minimum cleanup, is completely unacceptable. For a $15K+ job, this level of disregard for the final result is incredibly unprofessional. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Unless you are okay with spending thousands of dollars and being left with a mess in your yard and no accountability afterward.

They worked with us to develop our plan, make our choices, and follow an explicit schedule to the date and time indicated. We were very impressed with all levels of professionalism. Every person who entered our home treated it and us with respect. They left areas clean & tidy and wore shoe covers when walking through areas needing to be worked in. They undertook a comprehensive renovation, completely transforming three major areas of our home. Thanks to their expertise, we now enjoy a new laundry room, two stunning bathrooms, and a bedroom with walkout access. Our home has been truly transformed, and we couldn't be happier. Fast-forward five years, and we had some plumbing issues. Devastated and worried, we called Anthony. They stand by their product! Within 30 minutes, they had someone fix everything at our home (even though we no longer had our warranty). I didn't know companies and people like this existed anymore. We are beyond grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and beautiful work that Anthony and his company have provided us.

My husband and I are planning to remodel our en suite bathroom. Slabaugh was the first company I…read morecontacted because I live nearby, and I had been following their work on Facebook. Although I was concerned that much of their work, though seemingly well done, was all very similar and somewhat generic (all gray and white), I know that's trendy now, and I figured I'd seek some reassurance that individual (and more creative) tastes could be accommodated. I spoke to the project manager who was responsive enough ... at first. He asked what I was looking for in a contractor and explained the process from design to installation. Everything sounded exactly like what we were looking for. And then ... I asked what the average cost for an en suite bath was. I had already done my research, which revealed that the average cost ranges from $18,000 to $25,000 (according to HomeAdvisor). Because of supply issues, I expected Slabaugh's answer to be a bit higher, but I certainly did not expect the project manager to quote a cost double that! He told me that I could expect to pay just under $60,000! I should also note that this estimate was provided without actually seeing the space. When I expressed surprise by this number, I was NOT provided with any explanation. I wasn't told that supply chain issues had increased the cost by 100% or that they used only top tier materials. There was no explanation about paying subcontractors or difficulty in finding qualified workers. Instead, I could almost hear the shrug over the phone as the project manager said, "Maybe we're not the right fit for you," a comment I found dismissive and condescending." Even so, I suggested that maybe my husband and I could stop by the showroom. I was thinking that perhaps I could get a more satisfactory explanation in person. That's when I found out that's it's only open four days a week until 5 and not at all on weekends. As someone who has a job, I explained that those times didn't work with my schedule. "People work," I said. "What do they do?" He silently shrugged again. "They take the time off." So, if you're looking to spend $20,000 more than you have to, if you want want to be dismissed and condescended to, if you want to adjust your schedule to the company you're hiring, then this might be the company for you. I, on the other hand, found a much more pleasant company with which to work, whose quote (after seeing the space) has come in at between $30,000 and $40,000. The company is still very local and has an amazing showroom. So far, they've been easy to work with and they treat me like I actually matter.
