Please read this entire review. The quality of work was astronomically shoddy and horrendous. I had to hire a separate company (for an additional $4,500 after spending over $35,000+ on my master bathroom) to fix the shower floor that was NOT graded properly. Entrusted acknowledged that it was not graded properly. HORRIBLE WORK AND THEY WILL DRAIN YOU FINANCIALLY WHILE KNOWINGLY LEAVING WITH YOUR HOME IN IMPERFECT CONDITION.
I had two claims at one time: 1). Kitchen pipe burst on 1/2/2025 (Total Paid = $15,000+) and 2) the drain pan failed in the Master Bathroom (Total Paid = $40,000+).
MASTER BATHROOM:
January 3, 2025, the drain pain failed in the shower due to improper grading and needed to be totally reconstructed. Full Disclosure: I did modify the original design to close up the existing shower and build a dual shower after removal of the bathtub. I extended the closet into the old existing shower (many unneeded or undone items were included in insurance estimate/Entrusted expected payment).
ALL IN ALL, THE PRICE FOR A SIMPLE BATHROOM REPAIR TOTALED: $40,000.00+. (See details and pictures below)
The insurance company paid Entrusted $3,158.20 for mitigation services in the Master Bathroom.
The insurance company estimated $20,218.39 to put everything back in order prior to the drain pan failure, including plumbing, wallpaper, shower doors, material, etc.
I signed the Change Order Contract that indicated that IF this change order requires additional cost to Contractor THEN the Owner shall pay an additional $8,900. This should never have occurred as I paid for all plumbing and equipment. The Contractor never should have had to pay additional cost since I fully paid for plumbing and materials that were included in the insurance estimate. (Note: In fairness, I did receive NOMINAL credit for a few of these items towards the changes that I had requested.). This amount, plus the nominal credit, was the full amount expected as payment to Entrusted. Totaling $23,843.99 for reconstruction, $3,158.20 for mitigation, over $6,000 in plumbing costs and approximately $2,500 in materials for the master bathroom.
The ICING: I paid an additional $4,500 (to a reputable and highly recommended company) to regrade the shower floor to prevent the drain pan from failing a second time and to remain balanced while in the shower.
The bathroom is shoddy work (at best) and the process was a nightmare. For example, the closed up shower wall did not meet the base board by several inches. Entrusted started about midway down the wall and puttied the drywall to meet the base board. (See picture below)
The paint is splitting in the corners of the rooms. The drain was not centered. The pipe was crooked under the drain and had to be straightened upon regrading the shower by the newly hired contractor.
Entrusted graded and sloped the new shower inconsistently and hilly from one side of the shower to the other, preventing water from draining - and ultimately the drain pan would likely fail again. It was noted and remarked that the flooring was hilly and could be visibly seen to not contain the appropriate grading/sloping. The "sub-contractor" that performed the work in the shower promised a 20 year warranty in an attempt to appease me on the potential drain pan failure that would surely occur. No warranty provided, the "sub-contractor" works for Entrusted and Entrusted provides only the one-year statutory warranty. They would not provide a written warranty or the names of their "sub-contractors". They also would not provide a lien release from their sub-contractors indicating they received full payment so that if they were not paid, they could not place a lien on the house for payments already paid to Entrusted for their work. On May 7, 2025, the "GM" that supposedly came out admitted the sub-contractors only worked for Entrusted.
KITCHEN:
The insurance company paid Entrusted $3,622.38 for mitigation services for the Kitchen. I paid Entrusted (outside of the mitigation) $11,813.52 to put the kitchen back in place with "custom cabinetry, rebuild a "custom" cabinet in the garage where water leaked, repaint and replace the backsplash (labor only). Total: $15,435.90.
Contract called for custom cabinets, which in Entrusted language means to use the old, dented and chipped wood to put items back in place. Although $6,548.87 in the above amount consisted of custom cabinetry, This was brough to the attention of Entrusted. They always use the original wood. So, this is not custom cabinetry and the estimate was outrageous.
COMPLETION: MAY 7, 2025. REQUESTED GM BE PRESENT TO DISCUSS ALL THE FAILINGS ON THIS JOB. A GENTLEMAN SHOWED UP - NOT GM. ADMITTED ERRORS - WAS NOT GOING TO FIX.
