Michelle O'Neal (DBA Nautical Remodeling) and Jackie O'Neal (Nautical Remodeling Contractor) were…read morehired to finish an over-the-garage bonus room. When we hired this contractor, both were asked if they had the personnel and trades to execute the job, and we were assured they did. Within the contract, Nautical Remodeling included a 6-week schedule to complete all the work, and at week 26, after being served a demand letter to complete the work, they threatened to file bankruptcy. Jackie O'Neal told us he was taking care of scheduling subcontractors and ordering materials / equipment but found out many weeks later that was not the case. Up to this point, Nautical Remodeling mis-managed and wasted $45,000 in budget, then wanted more saying their labor was the reason. We told them that we would not give them any additional funds. At that time, Nautical Remodeling told us they would finish the job, but on their terms and with timeline, stating they would have to work other jobs to help fund our project. In addition, they also told us that we are getting the project for free, although we already paid them $45,000 to complete the work. I competitively bid this project and all bids were around 10% apart, so telling me he under-bid the project is not an excuse I would expect from someone who says, "I've been doing this for 30 years". We can only assume they are doing this to everyone they do business with, and our money was not used for our project. During the process, we never agreed to an open -ended schedule, and they always attempted to stall, tell us lies and delay our fully funded project. Near the end, I even purchased the remaining $5,500 dollars' worth of materials and asked if they would be onsite to install those materials once received. Nautical Remodeling said yes, but those materials were never installed. After more than 20 weeks into the project, I could only get about one (1) full day of work per week out of them, and then they accomplish very little. I was continually told that they cannot provide me with a schedule to finish, continually told workers will be onsite on days, but they never show. And although we are at the house waiting on them, they never cared to communicate any changes to schedule or plan. Nautical Remodeling does not have any regard for their clients and has shown a level of unprofessionalism, mismanagement, deception, and incompetence that I have never seen before. From research, this is not the first time these individuals associated with Nautical Remodeling have had client issues, and issues that led to legal problems. Be aware that this group is also doing business as "Windbreaker Remodeling", probably along with other names. DO NOT hire Nautical Remodeling, and don't let what happened to us happen to you!
