WORST CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE TO DATE!
Do yourself a favor and avoid working with Dean Kociemba and and his crew. I was out of town for military duty and gave them access to my house on 7/12. I officially fired him on 7/23 with his team only having some of the upstairs vinyl plank laid and a single strip on the downstairs of a 1,500 sq. ft. home. They didn't even start working until 4 days after he "claimed" he would start. Dean also unplugged my
Security system multiple times or covered cameras with towels so I was unable to monitor my home even after he left for the day. He is not trustworthy and some of my tools and house items are now "missing"?
I fired Dean for many reasons including these main causes.
1. Far overdue on the time agreed for (2 weeks) project completion. Start date was 7/12 -- fired 7/23
2. There are 3 large scratches on the floor upstairs and possibly more. Two rooms have vinyl that was not laid flush and end sticks up. Have to now purchase more material to fix this!
3. No covering was placed over floors to protect them from foot traffic or scratches. I have to buy more material to replace his mistakes and also all of the vinyl that was trampled on downstairs with no covering. The work was not done right but yet Dean was constantly begging for more money to "keep him afloat".
3. Terrible memory of what I asked for with the project and didn't even remember that my bathrooms required a completely different vinyl.
4. Limited to no communication throughout project.
5. Extremely unprofessional
6. Messy and loud crew while working, neighbors complained about screws, nails and staples in road.
I will reiterate, AVOID DEAN KOCIEMBA and do not hire him for your job unless you want subparo work that takes 3x the amount of time to complete.
I had a new contractor in the next day and they fixed Deans's mistakes and also laid the vinyl for the entire downstairs in one day! You get what you pay for as Dean will happily tell you. read more
