"I am writing a response to the response from Designer Lifestyles on Google. Google doesn't let you respond to their response and it deserves a follow-up... Their response on Google was extremely immature and unprofessional. First... They POSTED MY ADDRESS on a public forum. Second... Every response they provided in response from my claims was factually inaccurate, which I have emails, text messages and voicemails to disprove everything they have claimed. Finally... I will be taking the next course of action that I can as a consumer. I HIGHLY SUGGEST NOT USING THIS BUSINESS!! ------------------------------------------ My Original post on Google Maps... DO NOT USE!! I hired Designer Lifestyles on 8/28/21 for a 70ish sqft bathroom and they started work on 10/13/21... It has been 155 days since they broke ground and they still haven't completed the job. I had to finish the work myself because of the poorly managed project and project timeline, plus it was costing me tens of thousands of dollars with floating a 2nd mortgage, paying Designer Lifestyles, lost revenue from a renter and other things like utilities. Also, it put everything else that needed to be done behind schedule. Thankfully, it wasn't my current home or I would have been without a bathroom for 5 months. Last week, I received an email stating while work wasn't completed, I needed to come in and pay the final invoice. Then threatening me later in the email stating if I didn't, they would forward over to a collection agency and put a lien on the house. This blew my mind, you don't pay a contractor in full if they haven't finished work (especially one that has taken 5 months and still hasn't completed the job). I had already paid a deposit and a draw, so I was current on my bill... I went to talk to management to give them an opportunity to make it right and they were flippant and played the let's blame all of the external factors, but not ourselves. They even tried to blame me, the customer. They had someone at my property about 30+ times and still didn't finish a 70 sqft bathroom. A job of this size should take a week of work, give or take, not 5 months. They were reluctant to give a project schedule, which I never received, after asking multiple times. But, I did get them to tell me on 12/1/21 that they will finish in 2 weeks... Well, 92 days since that date (12/14/21), they haven't completed the job... Like I said, I had to finish the job myself. I have not and will not recommend Designer Lifestyles. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and ask me anything... I don't want someone to go through, what I had to go through during this whole ordeal. -------------------- Response from Designer Lifestyles 3 days ago We entered into our agreement right in the middle of the Covid-19 scare on a home built in 1939. Being scheduled to start within a 2-month timeframe was very exceptional, because it sometimes takes up to 6 months just to get on our schedule, because we are in such high demand. Thanksgiving & Christmas proximity also didn’t help with scheduling, because everyone was wanting their projects done by Christmas, and with our suppliers having delays with shipments, this didn’t help either. We never book a customer on our schedule without first collecting their deposit payment to secure their schedule, and draw payments are expected along the way on larger projects. Customer made a large last-minute change to the project that drastically affected their ultimate costs and scheduling. They were originally going to install a simple tub tile surround, but later decided to remove their tub completely to install a full walk-in shower the day we were ready to begin, which is obviously more complicated. This also caused obvious additional delays in planning and rescheduling to this more complicated project. When removing the tub, we identified unexpected sub-floor issues that had to be addressed before beginning the project, which also caused additional delays. The customer originally provided us a defective bathroom vanity faucet that our plumber installed, and there was no way of knowing its defective nature until it was ultimately installed. We told the customer to get a replacement faucet and that we would gladly replace it for them. We made numerous attempts to contact the customer via phone, text, and email to schedule this faucet replacement because the customer had a remaining balance of $5,000 owing that needed to be paid. The customer refused to call us back until an email was sent, making reference to a contractor’s lien against their property for their non-payment. The customers reference to finishing the job themselves, only involved replacing their own defective faucet, that they refused to call us back on to get its installation scheduled. Withholding $5,000 for a faucet install was not reasonable or acceptable in this situation. We met with customer when they came in to make this final payment, and we ultimately discounted their final bill by $1,000 in an effort to show good will, and then they posted this review. Customer did indicate that they were very pleased with the final finished project."

"The backsplash turned out better than I expected. The attention to detail was top notch. I would highly recommend."

"They did a beautiful job."

"All is beautiful. Carpet Plus was able to lay my wood floors alongside existing tile floors with a long curve. 4 other companies told me it could not be done and the curve would have to straightened. They were wonderful to work with. We are extremely happy with the result!"

"Have you ever heard the phrase "a hop, skip and a jump." That's how our work was completed. Technicians were 45 minutes late, arrived in a vehicle with no company logo or any identifiable means, lied to our face about cleaning certain areas, then had the nerve to become angry when notified, became condescending when asked to do the work over in certain areas. After all of this, one of the technicians disappeared and we assumed went to sit in the car again. Also, we believe one of the so-called technicians ripped out our front screen door from it's frame. I will exp!ain, earlier one of your technicians was able to keep the front screen door open by sliding a metal piece on a bar when they arrived, this allowed this door to remain open while they bring their equipment in. The door WILL NOT close when this mechanism is in place. We wondered why said technicians did not set the latch back and close this screen door when they departed since they opened it. It was left wide open, we found out why. When my 81 year old mother went out the front door to request a receipt your technicians were already in the car departing, they yelled that the receipt would be emailed, as she turned to come back in the home she tried to close her screen door by sliding the latch back, the latch would not budge and the whole screen fell out of the frame on top of her with a touch. The only action that would cause this to happen is if someone had tried to close the door with so much force with the latch in place that the screen was ripped from it's frame. Since my mother or I don't have this kind of strength we have to assume that it was one of your technicians that tried to forceab!y close this door. The fact that your technicians were in the car leaving with the front screen door wide open leads us to believe they already knew about the damage. If we had actually saw this done you would be hearing from our lawyer instead of receiving a bad review. Would we recommend Oxifresh? NOOOOO"
