I hired The Guys Construction Company to remodel my bathroom, but they failed to provide the proper services and repairs, which ended up costing me thousands of dollars to fix. On December 18, 2024, the owner, Adam Berti, accidentally dropped a hammer in the new tub they had installed and only offered to reimburse me for the ruined tub, which was valued at $200. He refused to compensate me for the labor or provide any receipts, claiming that he does not issue receipts to his customers.
Before dropping the hammer, the crew had already damaged the brand-new tub by using it as a storage space for their tools, leaving marks, adhesive, and dents. Additionally, the contract clearly stated that new shower fixtures were to be installed, but they instead cleaned and reused my old fixtures without deducting their cost from the estimate.
After another construction company assessed their work, I was informed that both the shower surround and vinyl flooring were installed incorrectly and would need to be repaired or replaced. When the new construction company I hired removed the shower surround and tub, they discovered a plumbing leak that The Guys Construction Company had failed to address, finishing the job without notifying me.
When I submitted my formal payment request after winning a small claims court case against them, Adam Berti responded unprofessionally, using profanity. It's important to note that The Guys Construction Company is NOT a licensed business, which is illegal in New York State for home improvements costing over $500. I wish I had known they were unlicensed before hiring them.
Furthermore, I requested that they minimize noise, aside from necessary banging, because I work remotely during therapy sessions. They assured me they would keep the noise down, but proceeded to play loud music anyway, making it difficult for me to address the issue while I was working. Additionally, they filled my trash bin to the top without asking and discarded the scrap materials they claimed they would haul away.
Let this serve as a warning: do not do business with them. read more
