USAA recommended this company to reconstruct my master bath after a leak from my HVAC system. The check went out on October 23 and as I sit here typing this review, the job isn't complete and the crew has yet to show up today. This is my first home. I am a new homeowner so my knowledge of the contracting industry is limited. However, it doesn't take an expert to know that these guys are terrible.
Initially, my project manager was Nathan Holland. He is sketchy on his best day. He's unorganized, lacks punctuality, and full of excuses. The latter seems to be a running theme at Paces. Like I said, as I sit here writing this review, the crew that's supposed to be finishing the job today is 4hours late. Anyway, I originally spoke to Nathan on Oct 23 (a Friday) and he scheduled an appointment for the following Monday. This meeting didn't happen until Wed. On that day, we discussed a date and time for additional demo but Nathan needed to get with the estimator because he didn't think enough money was allocated for the job. He misread the estimate and cost me a couple days.
He wasn't heard from again until Nov 4th. On Nov 2nd I texted him some flooring that I like and he didn't respond. On the 4th, I texted and asked if I should contact his boss and his reply was, "No, I call you around lunch time tomorrow." We spoke the next day and I told him I really wanted the job started asap but we were unable to make that happen.
Fast-forward to Nov 16th, Nov 16th- There was supposed to be a couple guys coming to demo what was left of my bathroom. Only one guy showed. He did a great job and got the room ready for everything. Nathan stopped in for 5mins, he checked on his guy, said he'd get me some samples and left. He never acknowledged the samples I sent him and later that afternoon he sent pictures of vanities from his "supplier". On the 17th, Nathan said he'd be here at 9am but didn't show until 11:47am on the 18th. He seem agitated that I didn't want any of the vanities he suggested and he was short with me. Later that day, I sent him the flooring, vanity, and fixtures I wanted. He replied, "I'll run the numbers." I called my estimator to complain about my job not being a priority among other issues. Nathan called immediately after, apologized and made more excuses.
On Nov 19th, Nathan's plumber came and capped my pipes. On the 20th, Nathan came by and I reiterated my chooses of flooring, vanity, and fixtures. He left with the expressed intent to go to the store and get my flooring. Monday (Nov 23rd) He texted me from Lowes and said the flooring had to be ordered and would take an additional week. I was disgusted. If I had of known this on Friday I would selected a different floor. This is what I ended up doing. I also called Paces and discussed my displeasure with Mark (the head guy for this region). He assured me that Nathan would get his act together.
On the 24th, my flooring was installed and when I asked about my vanity Nathan admitted he forgot to order it. By not ordering it on that Friday, it pushed the delivery date back to Dec 1. Furthermore, I texted Nathan and asked him to provide me with an expenditure list. He didn't respond.
Nathan then texted me on Dec 2nd that HomeDepot didn't have it yet. I cancelled everything I had going on Dec 1 for Nathan to no-call/no show,. He also said my vanity would be there on the 4th. In response I asked for the expenditure list again, and again on Dec 3rd. Nathan never responded. He also no call/no showed on the 4th. Again, I called Paces and spoke with Scott.
Scott ensured me that my job was a priority, he took the project away from Nathan and gave it to Chase. Chase came by on Dec 7th, during his visit he realized my flooring was installed without a pad underneath and also said that the type of flooring I chose shouldn't be in a bathroom. It was engineered vinyl and would bubble/warp if it got wet.
This was a great catch and I was truly appreciative. On Dec 9th, Chase showed up with his team...they fixed everything except the vanity.
As I sit here typing, it is 3:54p 12/10/20...the crew was supposed to be here at 10am. I texted Chase and he said they'd be here at 12pm. At one 1pm I texted him again and he said they were stuck in traffic. At 3pm I called Chase and he said they arent coming today.
Do your research!!! Never again read more
