I have removed the review due to legal threats by the owner. For the information of anyone wishing…read moreto do business with him, I am herewith quoting his letter unedited. I do not believe that the letter needs further explanation of how Martin deals with would-be customers. ******************************************************************** Alex, You have insulted me multiple times and I remained polite and businesslike. Now you have chosen to do so in a public forum and I will not stand for that. Your deliberate and malignant attempts to damage my reputation and interfere with my lively hood are unfair, unwarranted and illegal. Your assertions on the YELP website are contrary to the evidence, written estimates and our email correspondence. The estimates stated in no uncertain terms what type of tile would be used "Tile will be a CERAMIC tile provided by customer" (emphasis added).¹,² It also stated exactly what would be tiled and what would not "Tile tub area to ceiling. tile all other walls to a height 42"+/-".¹,² As a well educated man and I do not believe that you struggle with reading comprehension. You expected me to install tile that takes 40% more time and further yet install it on 50% more area and then act shocked, bewildered and frustrated when I tell you this. You attempted to change the terms and conditions of a negotiated agreement and then dare to call me greedy ("I sent him a list of items to install. All was fine until he saw that we had picked a rather nice set of marble tiles. At this point I can only suspect that the greed got the better of him and he wanted to have more money.") When you changed the terms I did NOT ask for more money, on the contrary, I simply and politely informed you that I was not interested in working for you and apologized for any inconvenience. Your recent unprofessional behavior and name calling made it clear that I made the correct assumption and appropriate decision not to work for you. I dropped you as a customer because you were difficult and unreasonable. I tried doing this the most polite and professional manner that I could. I have 30 years experience, and make a living in this field. The price I originally quoted you was a fair estimate. Usually I do not negotiate price. I did so because you were referred by an existing customer. I have an impeccable reputation with my customers. With my expertise, I can set my rate as I see fit. My schedule is always more than full, I turn down more jobs than I accept. Accordingly I can pick and choose the customers I want to work with. Please let this serve as notice that your remarks are libelous, your only intention is to damage me financially and this will not be tolerated. If this malicious so called "review" is not rescinded immediately I will pursue further action as my Counsel deems appropriate. You have underestimated both my intelligence and my resolve.

Years ago, he bailed me out of some tough jams when no one else would, because of the size of the jobs. He has always been honest, fair, and upfront with me. I knew I was going to have quite a few items to be done. I was happy to track down Mike, but disappointed that he was so booked. He is true to his commitments. Based on his commitments, he could only commit to the painting of the entire townhouse. As always, his fee was fair- and knowing I was on a time crunch, he actually showed up a day earlier than what he scheduled, which I appreciated. He watched as Handymen would come and go, all supposedly going to do the other work on the list. Days and weeks were slipping by, and I was having trouble with commitments from other workers. As the time went on, he actually took on some of the other tasks, slowly decreasing the size of the lists- and the size of my concerns. The work he does is quality. His prices are fair. He can be counted on, and completes on time. He takes pride in his work. I am very grateful! I HIGHLY recommend, and will hire him anytime.

My unit is very nicely styled with wide white trim and a large bedroom. The quality seems better than average. I'm now coming up on my 1-year warranty review. One thing that is driving me nuts. It may seem minor, but to me it's the principle... On my pre-closing inspection, I noted the lawn was in terrible condition with large areas with only clay, stones & sticks - absolutely devoid of topsoil and definitely no grass. This was Thanksgiving week so it was already well past planting time. The Weaver representative told me to put it on my 3-month warranty in the spring. Well I did that, but now the story is 'oh, we don't do that'. Excuse me??? Never promise me something you will not deliver. == So get anything like this in writing BEFORE you close.

According to RBK Enterprises, Inc.'s website, they provide the following services: window cleaning,…read moregutter cleaning, chandelier cleaning, snow removal, pressure washing, painting, home remodeling, and preventative maintenance. So far, I have hired RBK four times. In November 2023, RBK cleaned my gutters. The employee arrived on time, spent about 20 minutes to remove debris from my gutters, and charged me a fair price. In June 2024, RBK pressure-washed my Trex deck. I waited about one month for RBK's appointment. A courteous employee spent almost one hour spraying my deck. Afterward, my deck looked very clean. Of course, the price for pressure washing a deck varies based on its size and dirtiness, but I paid $275 plus tax. In August 2024, RBK pressured-washed and sealed my concrete driveway, sidewalks, steps, and front stoop. An employee spent about one hour power-washing, and then weeks later, another employee spent about one hour applying a sealant. I thought that RBK's final price for the power-washing and sealing was reasonable. On September 2, 2025, I asked RBK to add me to their list for fall gutter-cleaning. They said that they would clean people's gutters by area and that they would stop by my house around November 17. I saw RBK servicing my neighbors' houses on November 11, 17, and 24, but they did not stop by my house. On December 1, they told me that they "received a very high volume of gutter cleaning requests" and that "with the temperatures currently freezing, we are unable to successfully clean the gutters." On December 22, they spent about 20 minutes cleaning my gutters. December 22 is the winter, not the fall. I did not appreciate that for weeks leaves had prevented my newish gutters from draining well and allowed ice to build up. The price was $182.

They forgot to install rebar on my 4 garage spaces. Therefore, they were sinking in before we ever moved in and had to be redone. I am not sure how a concrete company forgets rebar! Other parts of my driveway had to be redone because concrete was laid right before it rained.

Longer story: We learned about Prime 1 from neighbors of ours who had a renovation/addition done. The quality of the work was excellent, so we knew that Prime 1 was the right choice for our addition/renovation. We are thrilled that we made this decision because we could not be happier with our renovations! The team was professional and personable, and was on top of every detail. Someone was at our house every weekday during the renovation period. Every single day! Our neighbors were so astounded by how diligent the team was at getting work done all the time, and how organized they were in terms of keeping to the timeline. They also kept our home very clean--as clean as possible during a big renovation. It made it much easier for us. They were very collaborative about what needed to be done and shared ideas with us when we needed them, but also were on board with what we wanted when we wanted something that perhaps was outside the norm. This was so appreciated because we have specific tastes and really wanted exactly what we wanted. A couple of small issues came up, and they were handled very well--Dan and his team made sure that any problems (all minor) were remedied immediately. By the end I felt like we had a new set of friends and was a bit sad to say goodbye to them, but we are thrilled to have our newly renovated home to enjoy!

He didn't supervise his subcontractors who did shoddy jobs. The tile guys didn't follow grout mixing instructions for the marble tiles and the grout ended up sinking too low and cut our feet when we walked on them. Instead of hiring the tile people back to remedy the problems, Ron decided to fix the problems on his own and layered sanded grout on top of the non-sanded grout, which, in three weeks time, turned black and crumbled all over the place. The electrician he hired set the temperature of the shower/bath wrong and the water never got hotter than lukewarm. Ron drilled holes in the bathroom ceiling and installed lights before measuring the vanity and as a result the lights were off center from the vanity. He forgot to order the custom-made shower glass doors after we already paid him and we had to wait for over a month for the doors to be delivered/installed and as a result we had to shower in the makeshift bathroom for a month. He had terrible attention to details, left many places of the walls unplastered/uneven, used the wrong paint color for my bathroom even though I had instructed him to buy the particular paint from a particular brand; he and his subcontractors also neglected to grout tiles behind the vanity and every time we open the vanity drawers we see gapping black holes. Ah, he and his subcontractors painted shut the radiator vent and we had to hire people to fix the problem. He couldn't caulk the bathtub floor and shower correctly, and it started peeling almost as soon as we used them and mold started growing around it. I asked him to fix the problem, and instead of removing the damaged caulk, he tried to plaster over them, which is the worst thing you could do. To top it off, Ron Kozera would get offended when we gave him feedback. It was a nightmare to deal with him and his company. In summary, stay away from this company and protect yourself and your property.
