I met Contr sctor Dave Grover through YELP. Our house had water damage and our homeowners insurance was paying for new flooring and repairs. We give him $1000 deposit on Sept 25th.
He tells me to empty out my Son's room and kitchen for the next day. I get a 1 days notice to clear out the rooms, And nobody came for 4 days.
He had told me he'd be done in 1 week.
Dave doesn't communicate with his guys or customer, I call first then text to either let him know nobody is at my house & ask what's going on. He communicated with me a lot requesting a $4000 check on Oct 5th. The pictures of unfinished paint job are from Oct 3rd. $4000, for what, you'll get paid when you're done.
Dave knew we wanted Dunn Edward's paint Swiss Coffee (it was on the contract) but the painter showed up with Home Depot paint. Wasting more time.
$10,000 to put in flooring and paint my Son's room, hallway and the base the water heater is on. They had to put up 2ft of drywall and texture the drywall. They painted around the water heater and the other contractors bid stated that they'd disconnect and move the water heater to paint the base the water heater was on.Dave's painters just painted around it and they got paint on places it should not be and the door threshold is stuck to it and they didn't paint the bottom of the base. They didn't clean up their mess either-look at the picture. We didn't see much of the painters but the flooring guy showed up to work. Luis does good work, explains things and cleans everything up before he leaves and lets you know he is leaving.
Modern West does pools, as you can see by the pictures they should stick to pools. Dave tried to say it was taking so long because of me and my work schedule, which I let him know before he started. Really unaccountable, lay blame on me when it was him. The painter was on another job, that's the truth. They are finally gone and alot still needs to get done but we just wanted to be done with them. My Son was sleeping in the living room surrounded by all the stuff from the other rooms. The dogs were miserable being put outside. I took 2 days off work so they could work consecutive days. It's never fun when you're having to do home repairs and the added stress and inconvenience, waiting to see if anyone is going to come or not come, having to text the Contractor to find out what's going on, just a bad experience. Waiting for him to give us a certificate of completion for our insurance.. .I bet I will have to keep at him and hear more excuses. The wall in my Son's room is bad.
Last but not least we are left with a spare part, this was in my Son's bedroom but not put back in. Put up the drywall and not put this back? I guess we can contact our insurance to fix what they couldn't. He was persistent to get the job, he gets the job, look at what we got, I regret giving him the job. read more
