We recently hired Jim Cleary from TAK Design Build to remodel our master bathroom. Jim started June…read more5th and was suppose to be done today, July 13th (this date was confirmed two weeks ago with Jim and a witness present). Unfortunately, Jim chose to walk off the job today leaving no shower hooked up, no toilet installed, no sinks installed, no painting complete, holes in my ceiling, and holes in my grout in the shower and bathroom floor. Also, there was no caulking or sealing around windows or shower floor, and the trim is so beat up it will have to be replaced. However, my trim was cut by his 16 year old daughter who did not have straight cuts, so another reason the trim needs to be replaced. She also helped with grouting and tile work (his two daughters, 13 and 16 years old, were on the job site almost every day for long hours as witnessed by multiple subs). Also, I am still lacking my backsplash to my granite. However, luckily I found the contact information for the person who installed the granite and he came over today to make things right. He was an outstanding guy who wants to do the right thing. Also, Jim had a heater/fan installed directly above our shower, which as it turns out is NOT wet-location approved as the humidity from the shower will burn out the fan motor and the heating elements in the heater. He also ran an unprotected-non GFI outlet outside my shower for the heater/fan, and put the outlet above tub. I only came to understand this today after I hired a licensed electrician to come look at the work that needs to be done/redone. Needless to say the fan/heater has to be removed and the outlet capped. All in all, I have paid Jim $21,607 thus far. My bid was for $26,400. However, we now have to hire someone to install our shower, toilet, and sinks. We also have to hire a drywaller to fix holes in ceiling. We also have to hire a carpenter to redo all the trim. We also have to hire an electrician to fix the electrical issues and install a light and approved fan. We also have to hire a painter to paint our ceiling, walls and trim. All of these costs will exceed the amount left on the contract. Certainly, we tried to contact Jim this morning to work out a solution, but he refused to take our calls or answer our texts. He sent one text saying " you yelled and swore and I'm having anxiety, and I'm walking off the job". We did yell and we swore about the job because he over promised and under delivered and failed to comply to the terms of our agreement. His work is substandard and unfinished with some of the work having to be torn out and redone correctly. Jim told me a few weeks ago he is a "Christian man with integrity". ? Please do yourself and your wallet a favor and do not hire Jim Cleary from TAK Design Build.
