    Caulk or whatever material was used is peeling itself off the wall after less than 3 months
    Jennifer W.

    This may be a long one, buckle up. We were in a jam with a leak behind our shower and so we were pinched for a timely repair. We didn't have much time to shop around or to wait for a more affordable general contractor to be able to come out to do the work. We agreed to a contract with Yankee Home Improvment for $19K, and they said they could be here within a week to get started. Commericals rave about "ALWAYS DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! NEVER CADDYWAMPUS!". Let me tell you the story how we now have a $19K shower that is still a bit Caddywampus after the not first, not 2nd, not 3rd.... but 6th time. Pros: -Quick -(thats about it) Cons: -Leaked -Smelled -Caulk has separated from wall within less than 3 months and proper care/cleaning on our part The day they came to do the shower install went good at first. They were moving at a great pace! There were 2 gentlemen working in the bathroom doing the demo/install and at some point a plumber stop in to do all of the plumbing work. He left before the bathroom shower/tub install was complete as his work was done. He NEVER tested his work, so when the 2 gentlemen doing the install wrapped the project up at the end of the day (I must be in the wrong business if a $19K job is done in one day btw! lol), they turned the shower on and it leaked all over into our basement and all over our firewood. Not the end of the world - it dries. The 2 install gentlemen "fixed" the plumbers work and the next day it was leaking. We called and they sent someone out timely - I believe this 2nd visit (3rd attempt at getting it done right) they re-leveled the plumbing/p-trap. That gentleman left and after work I went in the basement to look at the work and it was leaking. Here we are at 4th attempt, 3rd visit - no longer leaking but smells HORRID! (Turns out someone messed up the vent pipe and so septic gas was leaking into our house, stinking the whole place up. Brings us to the 4th visit, 5th attempt to fix it - no idea exactly what he did but left and following few days still STINKS. Call AGAIN and they tell me it has something to do with the washer and dryer. HUH?! the washer and dryer are across the basement, not in the bathroom or tied into the plumbing they worked on and never been an issue. That would be one HECK of a coincidence! Here we are at 6th attempt to fix it, 5th visit, they have now FINALLY sent their "Master Plumber" - He says WTH did they say anything about the washer and dryer?! And laughs it off. (Honestly feel like at that point they were trying to blame something existing in our home vs. standing by their work and its issues). After Master Plumber totally redoes the plumbing, admits it was the vent pipe and leaves (we are now a month and a half into our "new" $19K shower), we FINALLY have a shower that doesn't make our whole house smell like sh*t or leak. Phew! Here we are not even 3 months into our new shower and I look down today and the caulk or whatever material is used to adhere the wall of the shower to the tub part, has complete peeled itself back and if coming off. I don't have it in me for one more phone call or one more visit to fix their shotty work. Mind you, for all of this I did politely let them know I would be looking for some sort of monetary compensation for all of the hassle and smelling sh*t for a month in my house. You know what the BEST they could offer was on our $19,000 shower? A $200 Amazon Gift Card. I tried hard to refrain from this review and gave plenty of chances but this wall separating was just the last straw. For what we paid we shouldn't have had these issues once, nevermind 6 now 7 issues in less than 3 months so I wanted to fairly share our experience.!

    We absolutely love our walk in shower. It's so classy looking and easy to clean. The contractor's were very professional and kept me involved in the process. I would totally recommend them for your bath remodel. ​

    Had a rep named Timothy Robbin's come to are home today and basically told me cost for a simple tub to walking shower conversion would start at $12,000 $20,000 or more I was ready to spent and get for near $3,000-$6,000 he said no .They don't do that work for cheap I show a pic of are shower as a comparison to yours which is the normal home size and was told over $12,000 by this guy

    I have nothing but good things to say about Yankee Home Improvement. They did a wonderful job installing my new shower, Kerri was NOT a high pressure sales person and we trusted what she was telling us. We decide to go with Yankee Home and couldn't have been happier with the end results. I would highly recommend them. Marc and Jess were here exactly when they said they would be here and worked non-stop. They were polite and completely cleaned up after themselves before they left. I would definitely hire Yankee Home again. Yankee Home may not have been the cheapest but I believe you get what you pay for and I would gladly trust Yankee Home Improvement in my home again. I feel they were the right decision for me.

    Really can't say much other than they failed to show for an estimate after contacting them at a home show.

I was feely mighty ambitious and thrifty when I called Krystal Glass to ask for a consultation regarding a big mirror project at my new dance studio. Jimmy made time to meet me at one location and to accompany me to two more nearby locations on the same visit. Together, we checked out several used 6 x 8 mirrors at a nearby gym, looked at a few other mirrors I had in storage, and did a recon trip of the mirrors' final destination. Along the way, Jimmy provided the information that I needed about the correct tools for moving and installing the mirrors myself with a friend. (I should have brought two friends and insisted upon paying them). He also consulted with me, my contractor friend and the building GC about the best way to build secure and attractive frames for the mirrors. After we completed the framing and moved a couple of the mirrors on our own, I wound up asking Jimmy to help procure, move and install the rest of the mirrors onto the frames. Jimmy and his team handled my many requests promptly, with kindness, patience and professionalism. I will be back with any and all of my glass needs and I will also be providing referrals. Thanks to Jimmy's input, we put together something amazing. Behold!
