Mistry Construction

This company is completely unprofessional, and their work is satisfactory at best.

We closed on our home on 11/30/22, and according to our renovation contract, they were supposed to begin renovating the project on 12/1/2022 and have it completed by 5/31/2023 (6 months). However, they did not start until March of 2023, wasting three months, due to them prioritizing other projects over ours. This was not discussed with us in advance nor did they communicate the truth with us throughout those three months. We reached out multiple times during the three wasted months to ask if the project was on track, and the answer was always yes. However, once work began in March, we would visit the property almost daily to see the progress, and it was very clear that there really wasn't any. There would only be 1-2 contractors working at a time if any at all, and there did not seem to be a consistent schedule. There were several times we showed up to the property during business hours and no one was working on the home. Again, we reached out to our general contractor, and we were always given brief and vague explanations about how everything was still on track to finish by 5/31/23.

While work was being done, the crew was very trashy and did not clean up behind themselves. They would leave fast food bags, wrappers, and cups half full of soda all over the house. They left empty water/gatorade bottles all over the yard. They also left bottles filled with a mysterious yellow liquid in the backyard. Once the plumbing was hooked up, they used the toilets inside of the house but left dried urine stains all over the seats for weeks at a time. It was absolutely disgusting. Not only did they leave personal trash all over, but they also left trash from work materials. Trash piles, cardboard boxes, and scrap material were constantly left in our yard and driveway. For example they replaced a bay window on the front of the house and just threw it into the front yard. The window frame and broken glass stayed in our yard for weeks. When they tore down the old concrete steps to the front door, they left the giant pile of concrete in the yard for weeks. The township of La Plata wrote the property up a few times for having a trashy appearance. Whenever, we received a write up the contractors would only clean up the bare minimum to avoid a fine, but they definitely took their time and waited until the last minute to do so.

Along with being bad communicators and trashy, the quality of the work was not good. Almost every window or door frame is crooked in the house. The floor is not level. The paint job is patchy. There are missing shelves in our cabinets. The concrete used for the front steps and walking path to the driveway is not smooth. The list goes on. And when we complained about anything, they claimed they would fix it but never did. They just kept trying to extend the contract although no one would show up to the property to work on anything. Whenever they did work on the property, it was only to do the bare minimum to pass inspection. They never addressed our punch list of unresolved issues in the house. They just continued to waste our time to the point that we decided to just end the project and accept our losses.

Overall, they do not communicate with their clients, their employees are trashy, and the quality of work is terrible. Do not hire them to work on your property.
