COMPLAINT ABOUT: TRI-R-CONSTRUCTION STEVEN RABIN OWNER 1145 S. ROUTE 31 UNIT1 SUITE 276 CRYSTAL LAKE ILLINOIS 2157 HAMILTON WEST DUNDEE ILLINOIS
KITCHEN REMODELING, HARWOODFLOOR INSTALL,NEW FRONT DOOR INSTALL
(1) We did not receive the Consumer Rights Pamphlet, required by law.
(2) Tri- R- Construction led us to believe he had a crew of people working for him but all we ever saw was one carpenter and the owner.
(3) Tri ?R- Construction came into our home and totally gutted our kitchen. The problem was they did not have the corner cabinet they needed to get the job started. The vender that Tri-R bought the cabinets from instructed the Tri R carpenter on how to install the cabinets without the corner cabinet .The Tri ?R carpenter refused to install cabinets so this left us without a kitchen for over two months. I also forgot to mention they pulled up all the flooring too, you can only imagine the mess and inconvenience it was to us. We also were forced to eat out every day and night for over two months, at great expense to us. They left the basement a total mess with wood chips all over everything. (Pictures available) On several days the carpenter called in sick and admittedly said he was suffering from a hangover.
(4) Tri-R Construction removed my kitchen faucet, r/o faucet, garbage disposal and water lines to my dishwasher. Then they reinstalled all new kitchen faucet, r/o faucet, garbage disposal, water lines to my dishwasher, water lines to my refrigerator, and toilet. As per the contract all work was to be performed by a licensed plumber. I checked with the State Of Illinois and Tri-R-Construction nor the owner of Tri ?R Construction are licensed plumbers or licensed plumbing contractors. I contacted two licensed plumbers who both concurred that the plumbing was not to code and would cause us problems down the road. As it stands now the plumbing needs to be redone because food just sits in the garbage disposal and doesn?t go down the drain. The drain needs to be lowered about 5 inches.
(5) Tri-R-Construction installed new hardwood floors. I had over 70 wood planks that had to be replaced because of improper installation or because they were scratched or dented by Tri-R Constructions flooring contractors. I had to hire an outside contractor to repair the floors. Tri-R signed a document that allowed another contractor to repair his work and deduct the amount of money owed off Tri-R- Constructions bill.
(6) Tri-R- Construction installed a new front door. The door was improperly installed and kept rubbing against the frame and some of the paint came off. During the winter cold air and snow would come through the door. Once again the owner finally agreed to let me get a different contractor to repair the door properly. The owner signed a document to allow another contractor to repair his work and deduct the amount of money off Tri-R Constructions bill.
(7) We paid for quartz countertops Caesar stone 3100. We were told by Tri- R that his supplier could not get the quartz any more. The Tri- R told us that the quartz and the granite countertops were the same amount of cost. We were in a time crunch because of the holidays so we took the granite countertops. The countertop was ordered incorrectly and we had to wait again. The new countertop came in with the wrong sink, but we settled and took it anyway. Much to our surprise granite was half the price of quartz. We paid for quartz so we expected a price adjustment. The vender told me that the Tri-R refused to buy the quartz, even though that?s what we were quoted. It was because of the cost, not because he could not get the product. The vender billed the Tri-R for the remake of the second countertop because the Tri-R ordered it incorrectly. I got a letter from the vender of the countertop company that informed me that Tri-R-Construction did not pay their bill and that if I did not pay the bill they were going to put a lien on our house. I paid the bill, and have now paid for the countertops twice.
(8) We waited and waited for Tri-R- Construction to finish the kitchen. All we got were excuses. He kept asking for more money but the job was not finished. We obviously are not going to use this contractor for the bathrooms.
(9) I now have to hire a new contractor to finish the kitchen. With all the money I have laid out to fix his incompetent work, plus all the money I have paid out for the products that he was supposed to pay for, it turns out that Tri- R- owes us money. This kitchen project is costing me way over budget.This company has cost us more time, money and grief. This contract was signed 5/28/14 and is still not done. As of 7/9/2015 we got Tri-R to pay us a very inadequate amount of money thanks to our lawyer. This company left us with a giant mess to clean up.
(10) If you think I am just a complainer, please read the reviews from another unhappy customer on the BBB web site. 5/15/2015"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/dundee/tri-r-construction-and-remodeling-reviews-2347964.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Factory Plaza Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Alfred V."},"reviewBody":"I had obtained a number of estimates from various stone design centers to replace my current countertop with a granite countertop. I live in Antioch, Illinois so I had an opportunity to talk to quite a few businesses. Factory Plaza was the last place I visited, since it was on the outskirts of the area I was looking into. Anna Phillips, the Project Manager was very courteous and knowledgeable. I was given a list of the many kinds of stone products they carry in their warehouse, along with a price list. Walking through the warehouse, I was given the opportunity to go over all the possibllities I could use in my kitchen, with no sales person trying to make a sale or steer me to a particular piece. When I had picked a slab I was interested in , Anna went over the diagram I had brought with showing that I had come up with 32 sq ft of countertop. Being the honest person she is, I was shown how I had actually had a total of 27 sq ft of counter... saving me over 200.00. This could have easily been charged to me. I appreciate her honesty. I mentioned I would be purchasing a stainless steel sink. Anna mentioned a wide variety they carry. All top quality in material and thickness. I added that to my list also. I will mention that even though I continued to look at various sinks in the week after, I could not beat the price for what was sold to me, for the quality I recieved. I was given a measuremnt appointment and install day. Everything was spelled out in the contract and I was very comfortable knowing that every possible item was gone over before I walked out of that showroom. On the day of measurement, a gentleman called 15 minutes ahead of the appointment, just making sure I would be available. When he pulled up, the , I was shown his credentials. He made sure of all the measurements, checking everything for level. He actually double checked all of his measurents. I was impressed by the impeccable way he went about his business. In 30 minutes, he was done. I was called by Anna the next day, reassuring me the measurements were identical to the ones we signed the contract for and that my slab was ready for fabrication. During my picking out the slab, I pointed out a number of color veins I wanted in the countertop. Anna remembered that and went over my instructions again. Attention to detail is another strong point of the people at Factory Plaza.The day had finally arrive for our countertop to be installed. Two men came here to do the install, Roman and Tom. They were very attentive to detail and to making sure I knew exactly what they were doing during the install. Roman took the time to go over the brand faucet I was installing, and when the install was through, the cleanup was minimal because these professionals were immaculate in their work. They went over the care of my new countertop and that if I had any other bquestions, I should not hesitate to call Factory Plaza. My countertop is outstanding. I recieved everything I paid for and much more. It was such a pleasant experience, I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to give them a call. Better yet. Stop by and see the variety of stone slabs as well as the craftsmanship in their showroom.

I wanted granite kitchen countertops, a new backsplash, all new doors, new light fixtures, a new mailbox, new shutters, and other things that popped up along the way.
My work schedule made it difficult to get over to the granite shop to look at examples. Mary understood my schedule and worked within those constraints. She met me at my house with the samples.
