I have to agree with the negative reviews. I am currently suing Jered and UPM. I hired them to do a…read morerenovation of my entire house -- turning a 4-bdrm/2.5 bath into a 3/2.... new bathrooms, new kitchen, doubling the size of the Family Room, upgrading all the windows, etc. After we signed the Contract, he very quickly gutted the entire house (a milestone that triggered another payment), and then everything stalled. Two years later, I got a phone call, "Have you heard? Jered closed down the company, and he is in his way to the airport. He's going to Europe for 3 weeks or so." I was livid! He didn't answer when I called. Finally, he sent a text apologizing. (For taking my money and leaving me with an empty shell?) I have found another Contractor, and they are on track to complete the renovation in 6-7 months (which includes fixing the things UPM did incorrectly). And, I found a great lawyer. We filed a Civil complaint, and Jered never bothered to reply. So, it saves us having to go to Court. We now just need a judge to sign off on it and approve our requested settlement. Jered claims he will just file bankruptcy and not pay back any of what he took from me. If he does that, I will be filing a Criminal Fraud case against him -- if I win, he loses his license AND faces jail time. (With all the phony Contractors ripping-off people who are trying to recover after 2 hurricanes -- the Florida legal system is not going easy on Contractors who take money, but do not deliver on their promises.)

As someone who worked first hand with Urban Project and Jered Snelson himself, I want to first…read moreadvise to in no way hire this company and second, go check Pinellas County Liens. This man will charge you an unreasonable amount and take your money, hire mediocre contractors and take YEARS to not even come close to completion of a project. We hired Urban Projects to add a 480 sq ft. master suit onto our home due to adding an additional member (our son) to our family. We had an understood timeline that had a sense of urgency due to not having enough bedrooms for my husband and I, my daughter and our soon to be born, son. We hired Urban in August of 2021. We were told 8 months to complete our addition. They didn't break ground until December of 2021.....this should have been our first warning! Months would go by with not a worker in site. I was constantly calling and texting for updates.... that were promised "next week" "they will be there tomorrow" "they plan on coming Monday"..... No one ever showed up when promised. What they did do is show up unannounced when they needed to get into our home or someone needed to be there to approve what was being done. Both my husband and I work full time. Urban was made aware of this on day one. Constantly told to alert us when they would need us and we would make arrangements to be there. Never happened. When contractors did show up, they would leave mounds of trash in our front yard for weeks to months at a time. Since a dumpster was never supplied but was a fee that was included in our contract (dumpster on site). Our home was a construction site for 2 YEARS!!!!!!!! This addition still sits un-finished. The selling point for us when we hired Urban was that there would be constant communication as they had an "app" that constant updates would be provided throughout the process. In the 2 years..... the only thing that was ever updated in that app was when he wanted money! Jered, had the audacity to place a lien on our home for 15k for a project he NEVER FINISHED!!!!! If you search on Pinellas County public record liens you will see this has become a common trend for Jered. Which you would think would raise flags against him. Especially since a lot of the projects are not large projects that have a start date a year from what HE "claims" was a finish date. It should not take a year for minor renovations in a home. He falsified information on the lien he hand wrote for our project. The amount he was charging us was outside of our contract amount for what we agreed upon for a FINISHED addition. Which we never got!! This man is a FRAUD!!! He cannot keep anyone on staff except Fernando and his wife Kali. I'm unsure how anyone can work for someone who is as awful as this man is! Jered was just recently found guilty in a law suit from another victim of his fraud! Owed to pay 32k. Do not believe his "5-star reviews" as these come from personal friends of his! Stay FAR FAR FAR AWAY! This experience was the most painful 2 years of our life!

I called again to schedule, they said I would get a 30 minute heads up phone call, I never got that and someone showed up 2.5 hours after the scheduled time window. I had to turn them away. there was no communication for an apology or even to reschedule. I now have a different company scheduled to come out. And someone from "world class" just showed up this morning completely unannounced. The guys coming out do not look professional in even the slightest. Dealing with this company has been so uncomfortable and a complete nightmare. Our property management company has used them as a vendor many times before and have said they continue to get many complaints about them as well.

From planning to the final touches, they were amazing. so easy to work with and listened to my ideas. They made everything crystal clear. No confusion at all which I've had with a few other companies in the area. Their carpenters, painters, and electricians worked wonders. Crown molding, custom cabinets, and flawless paint. They even removed the popcorn ceiling throughout the entire house. They used the best materials, vinyl floors, marble countertops, and replaced my screens. There were no delays and the owner Joe had made sure his employees stuck to the schedule like pros. They have respectful and even funny workers at times who kept things tidy and neat so I could move in during the process. In short, if you want your dream home, go with World Class Construction. They're the real deal.

No disclosures were given. Very dangerous to say the least. Later - we found out later with many lesson learned. Spent a lot of money to fix all the problems. All this, despite the "inspection" that went 'so called' well. It didn't go well. Advice: Do not hire ANYONE that provides or offers "extra" services of (contractors, inspectors, etc) and could potentially be benefiting too from "their people" being hired. In the end you will pay a lot more for mistakes and incompetency. Be very cautious. Get your own vetted people. Could end up costing you much much more than you anticipated.
