We definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! **You can count on constant price changes, delays (not Covid related) and no accountability**
Kevin, the owner, called us about a week before we were to go on vacation and said he did not have time for our project and gave me names of subs who could help us. He was to start work on our kitchen remodel in the next few weeks. Since we longer longer had a contractor and all the subs he gave us to call were either booked way out or not even in our area, smh, we had to become our own general contractor. Our much needed vacation got canceled and we began demo ourselves. It should have been a red flag that the first estimate he gave us included only $8000 for kitchen cabinets. We asked about that and he said he had a good contact for cabinets. He sent us to his contact and we were quoted $38,000!!! We ended up going to Lowes for cabinets, still paying $26,000. We were given price quotes on things... I would ask for the items to be ordered and was told we have to wait... there were procedures they have to follow for billing. I asked multiple times to have the quartz I wanted ordered. I was given a price that seemed reasonable. Then, when it finally came time for them to order the price went up again substantially within a 24 hour period. I was told it was because of current times with Covid and prices are changing every day. Again I had asked multiple times to order it earlier, smh! So because the price of the quartz, I had my heart set on, had increased by almost $30/sq ft we had to settle for a less expensive granite. We went back to the stone yard and picked out the granite. We were told from the owner of the stone yard that they had not had any recent price increases nor have they increased their prices recently. But the cost of their stone had gone up sometime in the past months. Anyway, we agreed to the price we got from Core. They sent us an invoice. There was an additional $1,500 charge added on!!!!! We were livid!!! We were told they forgot to add profit and overhead! I was told this was for the time it took to call the stone yard and coordinate the project. I had asked the owner of the stone yard if they had heard from Core. They said they heard from them once. I had done all the work with regard to stone selection, getting the drawings to them and staying in constant contact with them regarding timeline updates. So why did we have to pay the $1,500???? We were at the point that the stone had to be ordered to stay on schedule so we had to pay it. It was after this that Kevin dumped us! read more
