WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER GONE THROUGH
You will go through a nightmare for half ass work.
Anthony,
You quoted us 2-3 weeks IN MARCH. Work began in April.
Everything that came up that was either not planned for by no fault of our own (how are we supposed to know you didn't plan to move the water heater, didn't plan how to avoid pipes, didn't seem to know what you were doing at all re planning.)
If something came up, we agreed, and we paid.
Unexpected electric work, paid
Unexpected stair replacement, paid
Unexpected "extra" anything, discussed and agreed to as needed.
The electrician you sent out was quick but sleazy and tried to hit on me, and when my husband shut that down he refused to come back out and you had to get someone else to finish their work.
They installed the wrong kind of lights and we were first told they were "temporary" and then that they would be moved, then we were told the lights we wanted wouldn't work, before finally my husband found the way to make what we ordered- and paid for- work. He is a car salesman, not a contractor. It shouldn't be his job to figure out how to get what we paid for done after being lied to and strung along. Had I not pushed the issue as I did, we would have been stuck with the much cheaper lights they threw on in the first place.
The stairs that we paid you $1500 for are literally raw wood.
You claim it will cost extra to put trim on them to make them look even slightly better, and that means until we hire someone else to complete the work, the drywall is exposed on each step. There is a gap between the stairs and the wall as well.
The stairs had to be redone after the first attempt since they were so bad even my 9 year old daughter hit her head on the ceiling, and you tried to ask us for even more money as a fee to fix your issue.
Your men were good- Oscar specifically.
The others only came sometimes and some would no call no show when we were told they would be here.
The flooring is not waterproof as we requested when we had you out for the estimate.
The main water shut off was covered and had to be reexposed.
The window openings for the drywall are giant holes- how, as a contractor, did you not expect this considering the 6-8 inch gap between window and drywall due to framing?
You won't make them better without charging extra.
The baseboards have areas that are completely discolored- yellow and dirty and in the bedroom that was built, there were baseboard sections pieced together without caulk or smoothing it out.
There was drywall tape still showing on the area by the washer and dryer, even after they came to "fix" it.
We had to sand down a bunch of areas ourselves in order to paint it because the sanding was shotty in a lot of areas.
We made a mistake we will never make again , which was to pay you up front and in full.
You said 2-3 weeks.
This is the 15th week and the work is still yet to be marked "finished".
You ignore texts, say you'll send people, say you'll get back to us, and don't.
The week you were on vacation, was the ONLY week we had someone on site every day to complete work.
I have asked about the advertised free power wash for booking in March or April, and you said something about a flyer code. Then said you'd get back to me because your scheduler needed to do something. Now that my husband left a poor review you are refusing to do so, which is vindictive and honestly it's not worth fighting for, but says a lot about who you are as a person and business owner.
In all of the talking with the people who actually came to do work- none of which were you, all I ever heard regarding scheduling was that you told them where to go, and when. And it was often all over the place.
You took a vacation that I have a feeling but no proof is why this took so long- you spent all the money we paid you, so you had to do other jobs to be able to pay for what you needed to finish ours.
Yeah, my husband used a few curse words. If that is why you have an issue doing the right thing, you are a really bad business person and need a new line of work.
Job quality 6/10
Anthony 0/10
Oscar 10/10
I'd hire Oscar in a heartbeat but I'll cut the grass with nail clippers before I ever give you another penny of our hard earned money.
So all in all we have paid you ~$15,000 for empty promises, delays, lies, excuses , and to be constantly ignored or put off.
Then when you finally get a chance to take accountability, it's more excuses and passing blame and defensiveness.
I hope everybody thinking of hiring you sees this. I'll post screenshots of texts, I'd be happy to tell them myself just how horrible it is to hire you. read more
