West Shore Homes - Wilmington Location - Consultant Chase Leonard
- Materially misrepresented his position within the company, claiming to be a manager, acting and making materially false statements through the course of a consult for a bathroom renovation.
// Claimed to be a manager.
// Claimed to have his own manager discount that would be applied to get us the best deal.
// Claimed repeatedly that he did not work for commission but was a salary employee so our decisions whether more expensive or not would not be of monetary benefit or consequence to him.
// Claimed the installation would be completed by licensed tradesmen.
// Claimed he would be present to facilitate accurate and proper installation of the renovation on the scheduled build date.
// Claimed to have us sign a contract for a promotional 18 month interest and payment differed loan, resulting in late payment penalties for what is actually an 18 month interest differed loan
All such claims were found to be false throughout the course of dealings with West Shore.
Following 2 months, General Manager for North Carolina, Tristan determined they would not be providing financial compensation or price adjustments despite poor work and material misrepresentation.
-Installation Complaints
// Required several more days to complete initial installation with significant errors resulting in return trips for diagnosis than an additional 14 hour day for complete removal and replacement of previously completed work.
// Initial review of work to be completed on day 1 identified significant errors in what was placed and work order - missing addition of second shower head to create him/her shower, missing floor to ceiling panel - resulting in the approval and sourcing of additional materials.
// Construction was messy and unmitigated, resulting in construction dust throughout home with no measures to mitigate aside from blanket taped to bathroom doorway, caulk drippings found throughout work area and flooring through home between front door and master bathroom. Caulking was extremely poor and messy along all lines. Seams were cracked at all bends, panels were cracked and damaged. Plumbing was temperature reversed, severe leak of one shower head with water pooling below shower pan was identified and rendered unusable. Flooring was incomplete with broken planks leaving concrete and plumbing exposed in closet. Toilet found improperly installed, loose and sliding. Significant raised area was identified under new flooring. Moved light fixture was not installed flush to ceiling. Recently painted walls and ceilings were scratched and chipped.
Impact to Us
Context - Household of 2 Marine Corps Active Duty Pilots, and a 3 y/o.
// Every day resulted in loss of possible flight time and or leave days due to requirement to present throughout construction. Additional construction days resulted in loss of pilot training progression, ultimately effecting months worth of training opportunities. Loss of a Saturday resulted in loss of down time away from work despite more alleged "convenience".
SUMMARY - I would never recommend West Shore Homes to anyone in the Wilmington / Jacksonville, NC area. Work done for $46,000 allegedly discounted to $32,000 is not even worth the cost of materials. read more
