I apologize for not getting back to you in a more timely manner. While the message that you left us indicated that we could get back to you if we could undertake the task (while we can remove granite counter tops, our current schedule prevents having two men available on such short notice) I should have given you a call back none-the-less. Please call me if necessary at 847-244-8080.

Dear sir: I'm sorry but we have no record of correspondence with you either via the Angie's List messaging center or via our e-mail system.

Description of Work: I needed a back splash tiled in my kitchen. They sent someone that did not know how to tile. It took him 8 hours to install less than 20 12" x 12" wall tiles and those were not straight. They wanted this "tiler" to return a second day to complete the job. I told the tiler to leave and I completed the work with the help of my son.

Response from Country Living Construction Group, Inc.
We are sorry to hear about your poor experience with Country Living Construction. As you can see from other reviews, this was an abnormal situation for our company. However, better upfront information from the customer would have greatly improved the planning for this project as the initial information was that it was going to be a simple back splash with 4" x 4" subway tile. Once on site, we found that we would be installing large format tile with a mosaic border in between. This new, more complex layout should have required a lot more planning and preparation but the customer wanted it completed in a very short period of time. Unfortunately our Master Tiler was not available to meet this schedule so we attempted to make do with the resources that we had available. Once again, I apologize for the service that customer experience and will treat this as a lesson learned going forward. Sincerely, Jim Stewart President

Great!

We tried to contact client, but number was disconnected, we tried via email but no response. After writing 7 different estimates and keeping in contact for a start date, we are disappointed we did not coordinate the project.

Description of Work: I may have the price off, but I did a 3 hour special deal. Everything went well. Only complaint I had was when I asked the gentleman that showed up to do the work about an estimate on the rest of my bathroom, he stated I'd have to talk to his boss but "they're real busy." I took that as he wasn't interested and didn't call back for an estimate.

One or more of the workmen did some damage in the course of the window installations. Finish on installation of one of the doors was a little rough. Owner responded to our fax list of complaints and came out to our house to inspect our complaints. Owner and one employee came back to our house two days latter and took care of all of our complaints in an efficient and workmen like manner. Contractor also did some other minor repairs at no extra charge.
Description of Work: Replaced two doors from house to outside including related moldings and thresholds. Replaced four basement windows.
