SCAM ALERT!!
Give these guys a call!! If you want a…read morenightmare experience. The worst part is Tony portrays himself as a Christian, the main reason I decided to go with him. Tony is more about how much can I swindle them out of?
Lee was supposed to be the lead man on the job but he would never show up; except to carry off items that were ours - without our permission. Or tie up the homeowner with endless wild stories of his imaginary heroic deeds. Still wonder what he was really smoking. Needless to say, the whole addition is built crooked. And that's just the beginning. Tony refused to itemize anything. Not so much of a problem, until he started double charging us for items. Lee would spend lots of time asking about tiny little details. We thought he was looking out for us, until we kept getting slapped with "change orders", which then detailed items that should have been included in the original builder's quote. For example, a couple thousand for "installing lights". We were buying new lights (WE were buying them) the "original quote would have included reinstalling the old lights, but not the new lights." Also charged us for light switches and receptacles. How do you justify that much money with receptacles?? When we decided to move a couple appliances in the kitchen we were charged THOUSANDS for the cost of the "Professional Plumber and Electrician that would have to be called." The "professional" plumber turned out to be none other than ole' Lee. The Electrician WAS a professional, and he did a great job. However, Tony only paid him up to a certain amount of time. Then we were left footing the bill. I was charged to correct mistakes Lee made in his lack of attention to detail. Lee disrespected my wife in my own house. Our whole dining bar is crooked. Tony "forgot" some of the finish work we had agreed on. And well, since the contract was conveniently scanty, we had no leg to stand on. Tony was completely out of touch with his workers. Lee would hide Bill's tools. They were reworking constantly because they NEVER had a plan. However, Tony himself INSISTED, with a curt email out of the blue, that LEE was the head of this operation, FOREMAN. It was SUCH a clown show. Tony accused us of "trying to hire his workers on the side". Extremely unprofessional and uncalled for. It was truly a stressful time, much more so than a typical remodel and typical stress associated with it. The icing on the cake for me really was the CRAPPY finish job. Lee wasted SO much time, then suddenly wanted to be done. He came in one evening with so much left to do. He SLOPPED my very expensive drawer and cabinet pulls on. They were so crooked, every which way. They put globs of caulk to fill in missed details in my new tile backsplash. When we demanded they fix our handles, (they tried to say the handles were crooked because the house was old and off balance) they simply wallowed out the door/drawer facings. Now I currently have handles falling off, some still crooked. The cabinet paint job looks like slop. We paid them their last payment because we were desperate for them to leave our house and for the nightmare to end. I have heard that there were multiples of customers who had similar experiences, but I suppose no one likes to blow the whistle. This is an honest review that I have held off writing, because I do not like to speak about negativity. BUT, neither do I want any innocent person to suffer like I did. As the quote goes, the only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do (or say) nothing. After giving Tony ample time to make amends, they have made the decision to ghost us. We will let them go on their arrogant, disrespectful, unconcerned way. We have had two different contractors at our house since the Tony Escapade, and they both were an absolute dream after the nightmare we endured. We left both of them glowing reviews. If this review is glowing, it is with rage for the injustices suffered. SO, you've been warned. What should have cost us in total $40-$50K ended up costing around $70K.
