[Edit: wildly unprofessional, unacceptable (but hardly surprising) to use my full (misspelled, of course) name in their rebuttal falsely accusing me of having asked them to commit fraud.
I've flagged this to Yelp and asked them to remove it on this basis.]
(Also: read the other negative reviews.)

Just no. This is not an actual contractor who does any work on your house themselves; they're a shady business run out of a small office park space who farm work out to actual contractors to do construction, remodeling - flooring, drywall, cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, etc. You may or may not have a good experience with those doing the actual work, and there's a value to be had in hiring a GC to oversee coordinating all of those various subcontractors, especially on large jobs - but this is not the one you want.
What you will get from S&I is a pushy, rude, grifter who:
* Suggests that your insurance company should pay the full price of remodeling your kitchen *including replacing _all_ of the installed cabinets after major water damage (and most specifically, the upper cabinets which escaped damage, and which did not match the ruined lower cabinets in color and style - something noted by the insurance inspector from State Farm) - insists that this is valid and standard practice, and argues right over your skepticism, and says they'll provide an estimate for the insurance company encompassing doing everything to essentially result in a full remodel - and of course you are thinking this sounds great.
* Doesn't provide any itemized estimate after several weeks. When you try to discuss what is a reasonable amount to cover the full scope of work, you're told that we should aim high and negotiate down if the insurance company balks at the total (as is likely.) Still sounds rational, and who here is looking out for the best interests of their homeowners insurance company vs. getting a bit of an upgrade in the process of repairing a horrible and unpleasant disaster? Who doesn't want all their kitchen cabinets to match?
* When said estimate is finally delivered (let's face it, nothing is getting done on this job until my homeowners insurance company agrees that it's covered as part of repairing the unexpected and unpleasant major water damage) - it's a single piece of paper with a short list of items and a total $ amount, no breakdown or itemization. I suggest this is ridiculous and no way it's going to fly with my insurance company, but am reassured it's fine. (It's obviously not fine, and when I showed it to an agent from State Farm they said absolutely not, after they had a laugh. It really might as well have been scribbled in crayon.)
* Then an argument ensues as I don't understand where the estimated total was arrived at, and having been promised that it's reasonable to expect a full remodel to occur including replacement of my upper kitchen cabinets (really the only sticking point since there was no argument from my homeowner's insurance inspector over the rest of the job - lower kitchen cabinets, floorings, drywall work) - I was a little concerned about whether the total would even cover the project (I'd done some pricing of reasonably-priced semi-custom (prebuilt, basic, not fancy) cabinetry at this point, and really just wanted to see some kind of basic breakdown of time & materials... but now the total number is fluctuating all over the place.
* So yes, I get frustrated as I handed over a $500 deposit for which I have received, after three weeks, a worthless non-itemized (and certainly not spell- or grammar-checked; I realize English is not this person's first language, but the number and severity of spelling and grammatical errors was just making an embarrassingly useless document even more absurd) and after yet another argument about this completely made-up-from-whole-cloth number and how it needed to have some kind of breakdown in order for it to be of any use in getting an approval from the insurance company so that work could even be scheduled to start...
(This is an incredibly pushy individual who doesn't have much in the way of listening skills, talks over you constantly, and is suggesting not only scope of work and what's possible - but exactly what garish colors and styles she would use, rather uninterested in your pointing out that your tastes are different, that your simple small midcentury home should have simple modern fixtures and decor, etc. Funny, I thought I was the customer here...)
* I demanded my $500 deposit back and received it, eventually.
* Posted a negative review previously about this waste-of-my-time experience and the business owner responded with my full name (misspelled, of course) and insisted that I had asked them to "lie to my insurance company" and pad the estimate to include work out-of-scope, when she was the one who created the expectation that my upper kitchen cabinets should be replaced as part of the job in the first place.
Stay klassy, S&I. read more
