We have, unfortunately, been very disappointed in the work quality of Total Construction Company…read more We hired them to remodel our master bathroom which had been ruined due to a leak in our home. When the project was completed, it felt like several corners had been cut to make the deadline. We wish better attention and work product had been given, even if it took a longer time: Tiling - the new tiling in the shower and tub was put in poorly. It concaves into the wall rather than being flush. Painting - the molding around the inside of the bathroom door was never repainted to match the new bathroom. TCC (Total Construction Company) replaced a recessed lighting fixture in the bathroom, but the patching/painting of the ceiling around it was done poorly and runs of paint are clearly visible when you look up in the bathroom. It appears that one of the screws to our GFCI outlets was removed and never replaced in the outlet when the outlet receptacle was removed for the painting. Toilet - We got a new toilet as part of the remodel, but water kept running uselessly through the tank costing us money in our water bill. At our request, TCC sent over a handyman who reset some of the innards of the water tank and explained that this should have been done by TCC's plumber when the toilet was installed, to keep water from being wasted. Vanity - After the bathroom was completed, I woke up at 5 am to find a puddle of water on the bathroom floor. When I opened our new vanity, the entire bottom of the main portion of the vanity had a layer of water covering it. Anytime the faucet was turned on, water sprayed out of the pipes under the sink! At our request, Total Construction sent in their plumber that same day. The plumber explained that the sink/faucet part comes with a plastic piece. If the piece is screwed in too tightly, it will break in response to the water pressure. If it is screwed in too loosely, water will leak. What needed to be done, the plumber told us, was to replace the piece with a metal part which could be purchased at Home Depot. I asked why this metal piece hadn't been used in the first place and he told me that the plastic piece is what comes with the sink fixture and so he uses it for cost effectiveness. If he's aware that that's an issue with sink fixtures (which he was), he should have purchased the extra piece in the first place, rather than installing poor materials that he knew could have bad results in our new bathroom. A few extra dollars would have saved a significant leak from occurring in the first place. This plumber is a contractor of Total Construction and so his choices/action reflect poorly on them and their mindset as a company. Caulking - The area between the tiling and top of the tub was originally filled with (I believe) tile grout. When I cleaned the tile (and also when I showered in the tub), I saw that this grout was coming off in threads. If the grout couldn't stand up to direct water/liquid contact, it should never have been used as a sealant around a tub. We spoke with another professional who informed us that silicone caulk, not tile grout, should have been used in the first place. At our request, TCC replaced the grout with caulk, which they should have done in the first place. Respect of space - My family and I temporarily moved out of our house while the bathroom was being remodeled. One night I came by and found a box of chicken tenders sitting in the microwave. It was 8 or 9 pm by that point so the chicken had been in there for hours. It was disgusting to find and have to clean up. Additionally, I also found dirty (i.e., containing paint) paintbrushes sitting in my clean kitchen sink. I have a work sink in my basement which the contractors should have known about since I showed them that area of my basement. But rather than using that work sink, they chose to leave dirty brushes with paint in my kitchen sink (which food and dishes frequently contact). Sink - When the bathroom was completed, I thoroughly cleaned the sink and found no issues. However, a plumber from TCC stopped by to fix a leak that we had identified (see above). I can't 100% say that this was him, but after he left, I noticed a visible chip on the top of our sink. I suspect a heavy tool was placed on the beautiful new sink, causing the chip. I think I would have noticed if the chip had been there prior to the plumber's arrival. TCC tried to patch the chip at my request, but the patch is still visible and will always be a blemish on the sink. While some of the above items have been rectified by TCC, none of them should have happened in the first place. When I pay a significant amount of money for a complete revamp, I expect a detailed level of care to go into the remodel. It felt like insufficient care was taken in the bathroom installation and corners were cut in the name of speed or saving money. We do not recommend this company and will not be using them for future projects.

Horrible builder. I am an owner of one of their Village Loft condos, and they will not take any…read moreresponsibility over their shoddy construction of their floors and walls. Their choice of cutting corners and poor consruction allows noise to traval everywhere; it is the only reason why neighbors stress each other out and fight. If you are considering buying from this builder make sure you put their feet to the fire for sound proofing the floors so that you do not disturb families beneath you when you walk. If you have a family with little ones, forget about it! You will be walking on eggshells when your little ones hit age 2-8. Since their customer service is terrible, i can only recommend thst you do not buy from this company.

When you walked on the floor, it was not sturdy and moved with you as you walked. What we got was poor quality, squatters who to this day are harrassing us for complaining about them. Van Metre did nothing about the squatters and let them stay until a relative purchased the unit. The cracking was fixed 4 times, and is probably still happening, and there was no soundproofing whatsoever. We sold and got the hell out of there and purchased with a much better builder with scruples.

Purchasing a new home is a huge investment/commitment for most people, and I am only presenting my experience with this company, so potential customers can make an informed decision. Per Mitchell Homes, I was supposed to have an 11/12 month visit to correct any issues since the competition/closing of the house (nail pops, drywall cracks, etc). To my knowledge, I haven't been contacted by them. It really doesn't matter to me as I wouldn't let them or their subcontractors touch my house. It just makes me wonder why. Did I miss the phone call, email, or text about this? Or did they not reach out to me for another reason? I don't know the answer.

Jin learned of our quick turn around house hunting trip from a foreign country and graciously without hesitation adjusted her schedule on short notice to meet and conduct an in-depth and relaxed interview of our wish list. Jin dedicated a number of days to meet with us on any potential homes to be viewed and did so in a punctual manner with a positive attitude. We ultimately selected a prebuilt home that checked a number of our personal wishlist boxes and Jin acted as our complete buyer advocate and was incredibly responsive in any questions and issues that needed to be addressed and resolved with both the builder and Mortgage Company. Jin was incredible from the initial introductory meeting and ultimately all the way to closing. We highly and without hesitation recommend Jin to anyone is search of a true Real Estate Professional who is in search of a great home!

While the home-buying process itself was smooth, our move-out experience was the complete opposite. As a family with young children, we were repeatedly questioned and made to feel uncomfortable over normal wear and tear......things like minor drywall nicks that are expected in any home with kids. These were already being addressed on our end with a contractor, as we had communicated. Despite agreeing to cover repairs and forfeit a $3,000 deposit, we were met with unnecessary comments and a level of aggression that felt unprofessional and unwarranted. It was especially disappointing given that we chose to work with her over many other options, expecting a level of trust and respect in return. We believe in accountability and were fully willing to take care of any legitimate damages....but respect and professionalism should go both ways. Based on this experience, we would not recommend doing business with Jin.
