On January 11, 2025, we signed a contract with Tyler Ulch and Christian Corbin of Northwest Ohio Remodeling LLC for a full bathroom remodel, mudroom conversion, basement remodel, new living room lighting, and windows/sliding doors for our three-season room. The total cost was $46,500, with an expected completion date of February 12, 2025.
Work began on January 16 after our initial deposit of $27,630 cleared. The team started strong, working on the bathroom, basement, and mudroom simultaneously. However, the other two projects (lighting and the three-season room) were never started. The team was extremely messy--leaving food around, failing to taper off work areas, and making the house unlivable. They initially promised the bathroom would be completed in five days, but after four weeks, it remains unfinished.
Two additional payments of $9,210 each were due on January 29 and February 12. Despite concerns about incomplete work, we paid in full. On February 12, Tyler insisted the check be made out to him personally instead of the business. After that, he and his team worked sporadically for a few days before disappearing.
Our Ring camera logs show their declining reliability. We have attempted to contact Tyler multiple times via phone, text, and email, as well as through his business and personal Facebook pages and some contractors, but have received no response.
Three licensed contractors have since inspected the work and confirmed it was left unfinished, not up to code, and done without permits. Due to this, we do not want Tyler or his team to return. Instead, we seek financial restitution--he must pay for a new contractor to complete and redo the faulty work.
If we do not receive a response, we will take legal action. read more
