Do Not Hire This Contractor! This job started in early July and we finally received the last of the materials in mid Oct. I made the mistake of paying them 60% of the total contract price at the beginning of the job for purchase of materials and another 25% when the cabinets arrived. They told us the job would be completed in 3 weeks. One of the reasons I hired this company was because we wanted it done fast. This job was supposed to be completed by Aug 12th. If I would have known it would take this long, I would have hired another contractor or done it myself. My wife stayed at home every day for over 3 months waiting for contractors to show up. They rarely showed up before 10am and often took days off. They came less than half of the days during the 3 months. Owners never stick to what they say is going to be done on certain days. There was no project manager, foreman, quality control, or any effort to see how the job was progressing or more importantly, the lack of progress. They have sent 12 or more different guys. There is a major lack of communication between management and contractors. I believe they are all hired from Craigslist. They kept sending one contractor at a time for each part of the job. All of the guys that worked on the kitchen had to come back and fix or redo issues due to poor workmanship and poor communication with the management of Kitchens 4 Less. Their many different contractors made a mess of our house, both inside and outside, and did a poor job of cleaning up before they left (on the days they did show up). The majority of the kitchen was done with very poor quality craftsmanship. It?s been over 3 ½ months and the kitchen remodel isn't finished yet. I can?t begin to count the number of phone calls we?ve made and emails we've sent trying to get mistakes corrected and get the kitchen finished. All of our cabinets have no doors or drawer fronts. We have the doors and drawer fronts but they are not stained or finished. 4 of the doors will need to be bought by us due to the wrong door being ordered by Kitchens 4 Less. Our new $2000 refrigerator was scratched during installation. The microwave was installed wrong. I had to remove and reinstall it. I installed the dishwasher, disposer, and range because I couldn?t trust their people to do it correctly. We will not let them back due to the damage to our appliances. We have already had to hire another plumber to correct mistakes their 3 different plumbers made. The kitchen is still barely usable. We will have to hire a competent contractor to fix all the mistakes and complete the kitchen at our expense. We paid thousands of dollars for bad work. So heed our warning and don't hire them! I don't believe they'll be in business long with their unprofessional work ethic. Very Poor Quality Craftsmanship Very Poor Management Would Not Use Again I Do Not Recommend This Company!

Poorly...............and IS STILL GOING THAT WAY, not sure if I will EVER have even a decent kitchen, much less a 'dream' kitchen. Money had to be paid 100% UP FRONT, not half & half like with most contractors. It leaves me with little recourse now except begging & phone calls to try & get things finished.
Description of Work: 5 1/2 months worth of kitchen/powder room remodel isn't finished yet. Cabinets are 20 different colors, no doors, drawer fronts or shelves. Kitchen is still un-usable. No projected 'finish date' provided. Very poor quality craftsmanship. Employees (1099 contractors actually) won't stay long enough for qualified tradesmen to finish the work; they all leave within a month or less. Owners/project managers NEVER stick to what they say is going to be done on certain days. Would not ever use again, don't think they'll be in business long with this kind of unprofessional work ethic.
