12/1: New floors ordered at Home Depot. I was specific that I needed installation completed on 12/27 due to holiday plans and guests. 12/2. US Installation Group calls me to introduce themselves. I attempt to confirm the install date. I am advised that they do not confirm installation until the wood has been received by Home Depot. After several calls I get this resolved and confirm the install date. 12/5: My condo association requires architectural modification documents and samples of sound mitigating materials. I contact USIG and advise them that this is a very tight turn and we need to get this information to my building ASAP. I email UGIG the application packet with all of my sections completed. I am assured they will have it into my building within "the next couple of days." 12/17: Floors arrive at Home Depot. I call my building to assure the install has been approved so I can have the floors delivered. I am advised that USIG has sent no information. I call USIG to check in. They say the paperwork will be there "tomorrow." 12/18: I call my building. No paperwork. I now have the floors scheduled to be delivered on 12/20 and cannot have them delivered without building approval. 12/19: No paperwork. I am assured by USIG that the paper work will be in before the delivery arrives the next day. 12/20: No paperwork. I have now called USIG twice daily for the last few days and they have done nothing to act. My floors are scheduled to be installed on 12/27. On 12/26 I call my building to verify that everything has been completed.....still no paperwork from USIG and installation is not approved. I call USIG multiple times. I am told that the paperwork is sitting in their compliance department and that they are "out of the office due to the holidays and will not be back until tomorrow." The PROMISE me the paperwork will be in before the installation team arrives. 12/27: Installer arrives, no paperwork. I call USIG they promise it by 10am...nothing. I call back...the promise it by 11am...nothing. I call back. They promise it in 30 minutes...nothing. FINALLY, at 12:05pm the paperwork is emailed to my building...incomplete. I finally send the the install team away. The general manager of USIG then calls me and attempts to blame everything on the Home Depot. When I asked why is took 3 1/2 weeks and countless calls to have them complete routine paperwork they had no answer. I advised him that install would not occur until I worked things out with the Home Depot but they sent and installer anyway on Monday. I sent him away as I now had guests in my home and was not willing to have my floors torn apart with guests in the house. I will NEVER allow these people in my home again.

I have used them for countless do-it-yourself projects and have always found their in-store associated to be very helpful. With this in mind I decided to give them a shot at a custom design project involving window blinds in three different rooms. From this project I learned a value lesson: Home Depot is great for DIY projects but I would never use them again for any custom design and instillation projects. I base this comment on the following set of experiences. 1. Subcontracted interior designer came to my home to complete window measurements and review different materials and develop a quote. He was polite, professional. You should know that Home Depot charges you to have someone come to your house for measurements. They deduct the price from the order, if you place one. This was in August. 2. I was very clear about requiring a specific date for instillation. I travel for work and this is my second home so I needed to coordinate my travel to be in town for the instillation. I was guaranteed the exact install date I had requested in November. 3. In early November I was called from a call center in Oregon that advised me the materials I had selected were on back-order and production would not be completed until mid-December. I again asked for a specific install date in late December to coincide with travel. They agreed. 4. Five days for the agreed-upon install I began calling my contact to confirm install date. No response. They day before the scheduled install date the person doing the instillation called me to tell me he was on vacation and the install would occur the following week. The install expert said he would report this to the manufacturer and I should expect at least four weeks for the new blinds to arrive. 5. I called my contact - the design expert sent to my home by the Home Depot. His response "sometimes these things happen." $3,000 for custom work and "sometimes these things happen." Never again will I use Home Depot for custom work. Their subcontractors are simply unreliable. 5. Day before install the instillation expert called and gave me a delivery window. I advised him that my building has rules and all work must conclude at a specific time. He said he understood. 6. Day of delivery he arrived 1 hour prior to the deadline for work in the building. He was in my unit 45 minutes past the building deadline. On top of this, two of the blinds did not fit their windows, one blind set did not match the others and the valances lacked end caps "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/fl/fort-lauderdale/home-depot-reviews-248714.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Alockmedic Locksmiths Customercare@alockmedic.com","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"FL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jill L."},"reviewBody":"Since I was purchasing a new home, the first person I always call is a locksmith.

FAQs for home building projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:
Pros:
It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof.
It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.
You get to build the house to your specifications.
It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.
Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
How long have you worked with your subcontractors?
How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
Do you offer design services?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
