  I strongly recommend against anyone hiring these people.

  After taking my initial deposit, they never called back and I had to track them down to get them to start work. I think they may have been hoping that as an elderly person I might not remember that they had a contract.

  They showed up and demolished my bath and shower. In the process of moving stuff in and out of the back patio door, they managed to damage the door so it could no longer lock. This was in early March 2022, the contract was signed in mid February, and the work was supposed to be completed no later than the end of March.

  Today is June 14 and the work is still not completed. I have had unending excuses and lies of why they are not working ranging from we are waiting on supplies to be unloaded at the warehouse to they mismeasured to their truck broke down to They are.working someplace else right now to it is raining today to it is too far to travel to get there to just not showing up at all to I need to earn money fast somewhere else. I had a hole in the wall instead of a shower or bath for months. And it took them months of broken promises before they finally applied a temporary fix to the broken patio door. During all this time they have not once shown up when promised and they have never come anywhere close to meeting their own deadlines, including the ‘drop dead’ deadline of June 30. I have wasted four months of my life making sure I was always available for any time they might deign to show up, delaying other obligations, all with no attempt from them to ever be reliable. Sometimes they trip over their own lies, as when they finally promised to drive here the night before to make sure they would be there by 8:30 in the morning and the next day when they are supposed to be here complain they cannot make it because it is a seven hour drive. They extorted more money out of me by claiming they needed it to pay for the shower door, then never did any additional work.

  I have given them a final ultimatum. If they are not completely finished to my satisfaction by tomorrow (and they say AGAIN they are here with everything necessary to complete the work) I do not want them here again. I will hire someone else to finish it, and expect them to pay for any cost overruns as a result.

  They never showed up.

  I think they are looking for elderly people to scam.

  With this contractor Thier inefficient, two many indians an 1 hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing Very poor work ethics ,don't do as they say. An don't respect the customer enough to call, wait at home for days an hours to see if they'll show up, even if they do Thier hours late, I would not recommend to anyone, work I been paying for I had to jump in an do things paint the walls, put in trim, clean up messes,Say they priced this in during contract, the tell you they didn't, why else would I pay to remodel to do the work myself, boy am I gullaubo Do no Hire at all cost.
