I would recommend them to anyone.
On the good side they were quick to get in and dry out our basement, including removing our laminate flooring. It was a busy time with many people in the same situation. We also felt the quality of work was good. Our basement was returned to the same condition as before the flood aside from a few dings on the walls.
We were satisfied until the bill arrived after the work was done. It was $2,353.99 above the insurance estimate. Because we received the bill after the fact, we could not go back to our insurance for payment. We were in error for not presenting the insurance estimate to Iossi. However, Iossi never asked for the estimate. Early on I asked the contractor if he had reviewed the
costs with our insurance adjustor. I was told they had "reviewed the specs" together. I have not gone through this process so assumed this included a discussion about cost. It never occurred to us that someone would do a project without a budget. Iossi has been through this process many times - we have been through it once. We are angry that they did not guide us through the process ethically.
In regards to cost I will mention a few highlights.
1. We were charged $6.64 a square foot for installation of a laminate floor we could get at Lowe's for $0.97 a square foot. The insurance company estimated $4.53 a square foot for materials and labor. (The installation included a delta subfloor
sheath that costs about $0.35 a square foot, foam underlay for $0.45 a square foot,)
2. Our insurance estimate included 2 coats of paint on our walls. This was not done by Iossi and was not included in their final bill. When I brought up the point that the estimates would have been further apart had the painting been done, the contractor claimed he did paint the walls. This is a lie, but based on our experience I am happy he didn't.
3. Iossi's measurement of our basement was 611 square feet. Our adjustor's measurement was 485.61 square feet. To Iossi's credit they came and re-measured after we met, but their measurements still came to 611 square feet. Iossi reported
that their measurement includes excess material needed for wastage. Perhaps this is legitimate, but I will say we
completed the same job the year before using 501.6 square feet of flooring. (This did not include the floor in our bathroom which is 30 square feet).
Would I recommend Iossi?
Never.
I had water in my basement after a sump pump failure. Despite timely clean up mold appeared on the basement stairway walls, ceiling and around a bank of windows. I called Josh at Iossi and he arranged to come out at a time that was convenient to me to give me an estimate. Iossi was able to schedule the half day job around my schedule. Unfortunately there was a problem with the original work but Josh came back out and the problem was corrected. I was satisfied with the end result and would recommend Iossi Construction, especially Josh.
Thanks for doing such a great job!
