In 2008 we contracted Colvin Kitchen & Bath to do some remodeling. Our 1st mistake was thinking they were a quality company. Each day we wake up & regret that mistake.
Our remodel was quoted at $99,371.26 OMG! Here is what they did, & did wrong. Why are we just now speaking out? We are like most people, hesitant to criticize. Plus, Guy Colvin is not approachable & Daniel made numerous poor suggestions.
kitchen:
1. new sink which they found in their attic.
2. removal of door to porch to expand kitchen by a mere 36in.
3. install microwave shelf. Too tall to use. NOT EVEN ONCE!
4. Granite countertops installed by Classic., which are fine.
5. dishwasher leak. Fixed by Roger Blakely.
Main Bath:
1. new tile with YELLOW grout. Their solution was pour Soft & Scrub on
grout. ARE YOU KIDDING!?!
2. water line to toilet cut too short causing slow fill. AGGRAVATING.
3. no hole in shower soap dish.
Master bath:
1. shower leak into basement ceiling. Our reserve stock depleted.
2. no brace needed for shower glass enclosure, so said DANIEL.
more extra cost to us for City Glass to install
3. tv installed on opposite wall from vanity. DANIEL'S idea.
he said we could watch TV by looking in the mirror. RIGHT! TRY THAT.
additional cost for reinstall.
4. YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE!!!
off & on STINCH in bathroom. . .for 4 years.
after Colvin's feeble attempts to find problem, Roger Blakely
discovered toilet was not installed correctly.
Roger also found traps under sinks were loose.
5. HERE IS A CURRENT DISASTER:
16" ceramic tile installed over a junction between basement & slab.
no expansion joint, so tile CRACKED. Colvin once again depleted
all of our 16"reserve stock. AND NOW THE GROUT IS CRACKED,
& so is the wall .
BY THE WAY THE TILE IS UNEVEN. DISGUSTING!!
WE WERE STUPID PEOPLE TO ALLOW COLVIN TO WORK IN OUR HOME WHILE WE WERE IN AZ FOR 3 MONTHS.
