My wife and I had to re-plumb our house due to a leak from old poly bute piping. We got 4 estimates and selected KL-even though they weren't the lowest bid. What a nightmare it turned out to be. We were told that it would take 4-5 days and it turned out to be 7. And, even though they ran piping to my attached addition (mother-in-law suite), they did not replace the plumbing as quoted. In addition, when they ran a pressure test and turned on the water, the workers did not glue the piping together and flooded my attic and the ceiling collapsed in my garage. To their credit, they did fix my sheet rock promptly and that was good workmanship. The project manager fought with me over the crew installing new toilets I bought to be installed when the others were completely removed due the scope of the work. In fact, the supervisor on the job said that it was no problem to replace old toilets because they either had to put the old ones back in or new ones. The other issue was our kitchen faucet would not flow properly and we were told that that was a common problem when they have to move the water heater, which causes sediment to loosen and clog the lines in faucets. The supervisor, a gentleman named Ben, took it upon himself to warranty our practically brand new faucet and installed it because of, and I quote, "all the problems and lengthy time it took to 'almost' finish the job". I called to speak with Keith Lawson personally about my issues and didn't receive a return call. I and my wife emailed and got no response from him. I went by the office twice and could not get an audience with Mr. Lawson-only to speak one time with a project supervisor, which resulted in nothing. He insisted that our attached suite was not quoted in the bid-yet they ran piping underground, up the exterior wall, into the attic and cut holes in the sheet rock to access piping inside the suite.
The workers and supervisor, Ben, who worked for days at our house, were very nice, kind and helpful. In spite of the ceiling leak, they took it upon themselves to stay late and make sure we had water.
However, the response, or lack there of, from the owner left a very bitter taste in my mouth. We are a family that doesn't live paycheck to paycheck, but we don't have a lot of money, otherwise I would have definitely considered filing a lawsuit. It's just a shame that Mr. Lawson didn't have the courtesy to respond to OUR concerns. Not an email, text, phone call......nothing.
I would suggest before considering using them to do your homework. I would not, even in the most dire circumstances, use that company ever again-despite the honest and hard-working men that did work on our house. read more
