To be fair, I'm not sure if Rose G is the worst construction project manager or Stocco Constructions has a questionable business practice?
Our townhouse was fire, smoke and water damaged. Our strata selected Onside as the renovation company and Stocco is sub contracted on the project. We were promises of "moving back to a brand new home". (Laugh - I have not seen a construction job done this bad)
Issues from the beginning:
- couldn't find the right quality of flooring (sorry that you thought you can provide us with a less quality product and we won't noticed)
- couldn't find the tiles (I wasn't aware there are only 20 tile choices in the world)
- not willing to spray the cabinets white with us paying the difference but okay if we pay extra to remake the cabinets (wow, anything to make a few more dollars eh?)
- used generic low quality paint vs our previous Behr paint. I got quite sick the first 2 nights back with the paint fume (humm...I guess you made another few hundreds there)
- couldn't match the colour despite assuring us they have the capability and we took the precautionary measure of providing the exact paint name and bar code (I can only guess they have vision issues since both require them to use their eyes)
- awful paint job with thin paint, blobs, drip mark, grits, dusts in paint, while some areas were painted over dents and some weren't even painted at all (now you blame it on there were no lights in the unit, bring a flood lamp like every other construction site)
- cracks and uneven dry wall finishes (ever heard of dry wall putty??)
- kitchen cabinets missing shelves after reinstallation (I know you want to cut cost and have your fingers crossed that we won't noticed in the disarray)
After all this, when confronted, Rose try to shelf off the blames to limited supply, low lighting and we weren't specific on the paint choice. How much more specific can when I verbally and via email sent you the paint code, number and a picture of the exact paint chip???
All and all, I recommend everyone to steer clear of Stocco unless you want major delays, excuses, poor service, and probable pay more money at the end to rectify their mistakes.
P.S. I hate it when Yelp couldn't provide 0 star read more
