*** My review was left on their Facebook page (HMB GROUP also called HMB Construction and HMB Restoration). THEY DELETED IT and blocked me after asking if they had even done a job for me.***
I liked nothing about these incompetent installers and egotistical supervisor.
Dishonest. Unprofessional. Hostile. Chauvinist. Incompetent. Thieves.
7.25 hours late.
Supervisor refused site visit when there was a problem. No permits. Left live wires hanging dangerously. Buried electrical wires in wall, inaccessible. Installed cabinet over open drain pipe, also inaccessible. Damaged 15/15 cabinets plus walls, ceiling, floor, appliance, and left a mess of debris causing a punctured tire.
Hired for kitchen cabinet installation. They measured three separate times and still made errors in install.
The installers damaged EVERY cabinet with chips, uneven hardware, or installation. They cut holes in cabinets, they broke cabinets, and they installed cabinets over open plumbing, making it inaccessible. They violated building codes by burying wires in a wall and installed cabinets in front of it, making it inaccessible. They cut wires and left them LIVE dangling in a home with a small child and did not make this known to us. Most cabinets were installed on level line but one was an inch below the level line, making it impossible for countertops to be installed.
The supervisor ARGUED with me when I pointed out the cabinets were the wrong height, they ARGUE and dismissed my concerns with a wave of the hand over the space for the dishwasher being too narrow, telling me it was "close enough" to the design plan.
They failed to install crown molding as detailed in plan so the two sides of the kitchen do not match.
They made holes in the drywall and ceiling.
They ripped the flooring and broke the dishwasher pulling it out to prove a point that the smaller space would be "good enough."
They STOLE building materials, they stole my range hood, and they stole a sink with faucet.
They left debris and screws all over the property later resulting in a flat tire.
The supervisor Mazim was hostile, chauvinistic, threatening, and REFUSED to do a site visit when major concerns came up. He said "My day is done." Of course, because the Installers showed up 7.25 hours late and it was after dinner. The installers refused to fix their mistakes when repeatedly asked so as not to breach the contract. The supervisor Mazim called me "too picky" and told me this would "look terrible" but he was too busy to do anything more at my property. The supervisor Mazim repeatedly tried to undercut and take business away from Lowe's on the countertop and backsplash part of this renovation.
Installers Junior and Adilson are completely incompetent and do not follow written plans even with verbal reminders and holding the plans in front of the supervisor since he refused to hold them.
