Initially it was fine. They told me to go their local distributor to select the quartz. I did. When…read morethey came to install it, I realized it wasn't what I had selected. Called them up and showed them photos. At first they were reluctant to believe me, and I had to go to their shop. I showed them the photos of the quartz from the distributor's own website (and their customer's photos), and they tried to convince me that the brown worm like things were normal. I almost begged them to be fair. Then they pulled out the brochure they had and finally believed me bc the delivered stone looked nothing like the physical displays, online photos, or the brochure. Turns out the distributor had outdated displays and the newer version of this quartz was totally different. You know what? I wasn't mad. I actually felt bad bc I don't like to be of trouble to others even though it wasn't my fault. But they immediately blamed the distributor saying they made the mistake and that they're a small company so they can't check every slab. They're just the fabricators. So they told me to go to the distributor the next day. They said they'd called them to have the 3 new slabs ready for me. So I went. Did not have it ready and refused to show me all three. Told me to call G&M. So I did. I got caught in the middle. Told me they'll send photos of the other two from same lot. Ok sure. A couple days later they called me and told me to go in their office to physical okay the 3 slabs. Won't send photos. Now I was getting annoyed. I seriously devoted a lot of time to doing their bidding. My job matters too ok? I already went and they never apologized for wasting my time by not having it ready. Not only that, when I went again - they didn't have the slabs ready and get this - got mad when I asked to see all 3 slabs. They seemed so annoyed. They wanted me to peek at it sideways while it was stuck between two other slabs. Seriously? I'm doing what they asked me to do. I took extra time from my work day to verify the slabs. Shouldn't I be the one that's annoyed? Later on, they got annoyed bc I asked for final measurements. Got yelled at. Made a show of telling me how they use templates and would need so much work to tally that up. Told me to measure it myself. Told me that if every customer was like me, blah blah blah. I just left. It was so rude. Spoke to owner. He apologized but didn't take responsibility. Made excuses. Said they were understaffed and stressed. Said his mom in law was in the hospital. Said he would send me measurements that day. I said don't worry just send it within a week. I felt terrible for him. Nothing gets sent even a week later. But I get a call the day before install that they need to remeasure that day. Ok fine I change my work schedule to be home. The next morning I called to make sure they leave a wide enough opening for my stove bc they didn't during the first install, and the owner said his mom in law passed. Well that's terrible. They can't come that day. Told me to call the office for a reschedule and they wouldn't know when. Maybe tomorrow. Ok I'm fine with that. So I email the office. No response. Later that day my mom called. She happened to be at the home and apparently they showed up to install. I rush home from work. This is not professional behavior at all. I'm at their beck and call. Wait, they didn't even call me. Did they forget that I was their customer? Not their slave? It was going fine until Jose one of the guys starts giving me attitude. All I asked was that they control the dust bc they started cutting the quartz indoors. Stone dust everywhere like a white cloud. I had kids in the home breathing this in. Beforehand they told me they'd cut only a faucet hole in the garage but here they were trimming a lot more than the faucet in the house. But the thing is I would've been understanding if they just tried to control it better. Instead Jose gave me so much attitude and told me to call the office and the owner. I did both and no one picked up. He bluffed saying they'd leave and come back next day if they had to cut literally just outside. Finally another guy there told Jose to shut up and do the work. He was nicer and said he'd vacuum it up. I opened the doors. It was still a mess but they gave me no choice. Jose said the owner threatened to leave too. Later on he admitted it was the owners son. Btw he dented two parts of my cabinets and there was glue all over my brand new hardwood floors. The other guys were fine. So if you want to be dragged around by people who have no respect for your time, home, or family - choose these guys. They kept explaining how terrible things were going for them but never really considered what it's like for me, their customer. Created so much stress for me. So many excuses. Normally I tip extra but I only gave them waters this time. Treating people well doesn't matter sometimes. They just take advantage of your kindness.

We recently completed a project that spanned some 14 months and, beyond the cosmetics of plastering and painting, involved a fair amount of repair, design and upscaling.

The net result was a sale that set a new high for comparable properties (if any) in the upscale neighborhood. I've personally recommended Petree to a hundred or more friends and neighbors alike, and will continue to do so long into the future. It's nice to have someone who can bring the knowledge and experience of a general contractor, a true artist in his profession with an eye for detail, and the attention and value that only a one-on-one relationship can provide. Simply put ........ Petree Plastering is the BEST!

My experience with Bashert Contractors was, overall, terrible. I had contacted Bashert based on a…read morerecommendation from the home inspector I used for my home purchase, as there were several projects my wife and I wanted to have done soon after moving in. The experience with Bashert started off well enough, we walked through the space and explained what we wanted done, and they said 'no problem' for all of it. But then the actual work started, and it all went downhill from there. The first noticeable issue was their electrician. For one, he had no experience terminating category cables, and was not able to follow the simple instructions even when watching a YouTube video of how to complete it. Beyond that, even with high-voltage, he worked on what seemed to be a process of elimination, connecting random wires and tripping circuits until he found the right combination that worked. The second issue was with one of the simplest tasks I had asked Bashert to complete - replacement of two support slats for a futon, as the slats had become damaged over many years of use and several disassembles and reassembles. The slats involved only providing a piece of wood of the same dimensions, and boring four holes at each end for the screws and anchors. Scott said 'no problem', and the proceeded to lead me on over the next two months, providing three attempts at replacement slats that looked nothing like what I had given him, and in the process also ruining one of my original slats. Finally Scott sent an email stating "sorry to mislead you, but we're not furniture builders". The final, and most important problem that we ran into was communication, both between Scott and his crews, and between Scott and myself. Though Scott was the manager/owner, was the person on the walk through when I described everything we wanted done, and was the only person I had a contact number for, he was very rarely on site, and left out significant details when informing his work crews of what needed to be done (e.g. we wanted an outdoor light installed with a switch to control it - the installer was only told about the light and just hardwired it in without a switch so it was always on). This created a number of delays and reworks. The even more significant problem was communication between Scott and myself. As soon as Scott had received our checks for the majority of the project costs, but while several significant items were still incomplete, he started ignoring my calls and emails. I had to resort to calling and leaving a voicemail every 45 minutes through most of a day for him to finally cave and call me back, and from then on he completely ignored my calls, and only sent me one-sentence cryptic emails every few days that contained no details of when we should expect the remaining tasks to be taken care of. In the end, there are still outstanding items that were never taken care of, and my wife and I have just cut our losses and found others to complete the work satisfactorily. I would never recommend this company for any work, no matter how limited, and would definitely suggest to anyone that does have to use them, to not give them more than 25% of the costs until after the work is fully completed.
