Same Day Builders does a whole lot of talking and not enough working. I don't know how many times I have heard the word "Happy". Sam told me all he wants to do is to make me "Happy". I have been waiting, but he could not fulfill his promises, not even when he offered to fix something for free.
Same Day Builders are unprofessional. They have a very limited working crew, and most of them are incompetent to handle anything else but drywall and painting. At this time, Isaac usually steps in if you are lucky enough to get him to come on time or to come to stay and actually do the work.
I have had them here for around 3 months. They failed to start on some of my home, improvement projects. The projects that they did start were never ever finished. Many wires are sticking out everywhere from my kitchen walls. I have open holes in my ceiling. My kitchen nook, bathroom, and pocket door is empty, no lights, and no toilet to flush.
Same Day Builders sent their first plumber, who I might add, wanted to work on my electrical too. Enrique worked on my plumbing while he forgot to turn his truck off and left it running. He asked my husband to help him jumpstart his truck. While Enrique was here. He told me that he refuses to go under the house unless I pay him more money.
Paying Sam, the owner more money seems to be the theme of his business without any kind of strategy, planning or a timeline in place. On the first day he asked me to pay him $6k for phase 1 of the home remodeling project. Two weeks later Sam asked for another $6k for phase 2. In the same day Sam asked me for an additional $3,502 for a deposit on the front and back doors. I canceled the doors 3 to 4 days later. He wanted me to pay $875 restocking fees. I asked Sam to show me the receipt from the manufacturer. He could not produce it.
3 to 4 weeks later, the kitchen cabinets were starting to take shape, but the kitchen had not been painted. The drywall was almost finished and trash was left in the front of my house. Sam asked me for more money because the "boys" have not been paid.
Sam and Isaac ganged up on me for five nights in February after the worker's went home. I had endured this treatment from both Sam and Isaac for 4-5 days because they wanted payment from me to pay their worker's. Sam said he spent $900 on them already. Isaac looked at me sadly, and said, please we need your help. We need money to pay the boys. Even though, I told them I had already given them plenty of money they would not let it go. I tried to hash it out with them.. Isaac and I came up with some solutions but the solution Isaac came up with did not seem favorable to me. Sam demanded I pay. I told Sam I would pay him $1k. "He said that is not good enough." Somewhere around that time they packed up all of their belongings and tools and left.
We agreed to meet again on the following Monday, March 1. Marissa their administrator conducted the meeting. After the meeting I paid an additional $4,874 for them to finally complete and finish my kitchen remodel once and for all within a certain amount of time. The time frame to finish was very sketchy, but I would have to pay the remainder upon completion, and to my satisfaction when all of the work is finished.
My kitchen, laundry area and bathroom may look like it has been completed to Sam because the kitchen cabinets take up most of the space in the kitchen. Actually, nothing has been worked on since I paid him last at the meeting except for the kitchen cabinets, there was only one worker who worked on my cabinets for only 3 days in the whole month of March. Isaac may have been there two hours at the most. They never finished my cabinets. In fact, Esteban was working on the crown molding. He left a big seam right in view, smack in the middle of the cabinets. There is no quality control.
Every time I wanted to buy something for my remodel Sam would offer me a lower price.. It never compared to the job as the professional would have done. I would have had two new doors, a kitchen cabinet installed and my linen hall closet would have been left alone. They are now without their doors.
The last time I saw them was April 1st. They left again because Isaac was upset.
