My wife and I spoke to Chris at the Home Show in April about remodeling our bathroom in preparation to sell. He came to our house within a couple of days to measure and we followed him back to the office to design the new bathroom. We picked out everything from stock already there, and were told they were a few months out, so we would be done early to mid July. I finally heard from them mid August. They called on Friday saying that they would be there the following Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The project would take 3 days.
Monday morning. Canceled
Tuesday morning. Canceled
They came Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. To be honest, it started out very nice and was happy with their work. Joe was the main installer and he told me on Friday that he would have to come back the next day at 9 to finish. Fine. 1130 rolls around and he finally shows. He said that he needed to come back Sunday to finish "a few things". What time? 9am. 1145 rolls around and joe returns without the helper he needed to finish. He was there about an hour then left and said he had to come back Monday afternoon. I said I can be home at 3:30p from work. 4:30 Monday afternoon I get a call from the office that he in fact would not be there, asking if he could come on Tuesday at 430. Fine. Joe came with a helper, but there was some damaged/missing hardware for the shower door. He asked if I could come home during my lunch break to let him in and he would finish on Wednesday. Fine. The office called to say that, "Joe will be at your house in 20 minutes". I was home in 15. After an hour of waiting, I had to return to work, so I called the office and said that I had to get back to work and he never showed. I got a call from the office that afternoon to see if he could come back on Thursday, not the next day. The next week. The 3 day job was taking 2 weeks. The next Wednesday the office called my wife, who is now out of state, to try and reschedule yet again. I called back and said I was leaving town the following day and rescheduling was not an option, and the original 3:30p appointment had to be kept. I also told Judy in the office to remove my wife's contact as she is no longer around.
Today is Thursday 8/30.
I got home from work at 3:15p, and Joe and his helper are at my house. I open the garage and I get a call from my wife that Judy in the office called her yelling that "her guys were waiting and nobody answered the phone". I never received a call.
The guys get started, and the helper was sent out to get some supplies they were missing. Joe is singing while he is working... then I pay attention to the words... "I wish you were cool, I wish you were nice" "you should be happy, you're getting a new bathroom" " why are you mean, making me late" I walked by the bathroom (the door was closed) making noise just to remind Joe that he wasn't alone. He kept singing his song of discontent. I opened the door and asked if was a problem, that he sounded like he was unhappy with me. He denied it and said he was singing a rap song and everything was fine. His song changed from that to "happy day" over and over. When his helper came back, Joe made sure to tell him that "I made the customer unhappy with my singing, so make sure you don't upset him". Very passive aggressive.
I called the office to speak to the owner, Chris, and left a message for him to call me back as he wasn't there. About an hour later, Chris was at my house to help Joe with something and asked what I wanted to talk to him about. I told him about all that has been going on and about how there has been some backlash from his staff. He assured me that the work would be finished tonight. He thanked me for the feedback and said he would return later to talk some more and make sure that everything was complete. It seems the problem is with the shower door and I told Chris that if there was a problem with something, they should just be honest. They could've taken it back and installed a different one. We picked it because it was in stock, not because of any attachment to the door.
They did not finish.
Daniel and Joe came and told me that they needed to "talk to corporate" to find out how to install the shower door. Daniel assured me that Judy would contact me to schedule. As of 9/12, I have heard nothing. read more
