General Contractor handling any and all residential repair and remodeling from small handyman item to complete kitchen, bath or basement remodel to full additions out or up.
This was for work that was done in 2012. I know it took too long to rate, but I have been finding out disaster after disaster of what quality of work was performed. I had 3 wishes: open up a room (2 walls opened), renovate my kitchen and renovate the master bathroom for $30. I provided all the kitchen/bathroom appliances and they would provide the labor, granite counters and new, cost efficient cabinets. The kitchen cabinets are cheaply made and are not even lined up, the tiles has been coming up and the quality of work is like this was their first job. They lied all the time about the work and they kept finding reasons to increase the price, ultimately that I never got the master bathroom upgrade. I still have a brand new bathroom standing tub and vanity tub stored in my garage. The work too forever and was just downright shoddy. I actually separated from my wife, in part, due to this devastating experience! I knew I went wrong when dealing with Bill Kalafut in the final steps of them being done screwing me over. He was trying to wiggle out of being responsible for some work and he told me "There is only so much I can do, you know I have to make money on this job." I advised him the best way to not earn respect and referral business is to tell a customer that the owner needs to make money. I have very little regrets in life, but hiring KH Renovations tops the list.

This was part of a FHA 203K financing project and was completed in 2011. All permits for the repairs were pulled if required or the bank would not have paid for the repairs. The roof was warrantied by the licensed roofing company that completed the work. [Member name removed] has all their information to contact them for any repairs needed.

Description of Work: i am not sure of the quality of work, but did not find the actions of the salesperson up to par. He could not meet deadlines, misquoted the price for a major renovation and did not have the courtesy to inform me of the errors he made in calculations. I received an updated contract correcting his errors from his admin and there was no attempt by the salesperson to reach me, even though he was aware of the errors two days prior. I elected to give my business to a more expensive contractor.

They were terrible. The way the decks were stained turned out looking terrible. I have to have it redone this summer. I wanted them to come out and fix it and they didn’t, although, the price was fair.

KH Renovations were professional on every level - from office/support staff to project managers to on sight crew. They offered suggestions, guidance, and were very flexible and accommodating throughout our long project. We have already referred them to friends and will continue to do so. Thanks guys!
Description of Work: K H Renovations were extremely helpful in guiding us through our 203k rehab. We had many jobs that were required to be completed in order to make our house functioning and livable. Jobs ranged in size from replacing the roof, plumbing, and electrical service to putting in smoke/co2 detectors.

K and H renovations did a fantastic job with the install of the Stair simple system. The workers were professional, timely, and I would not hesitate to have them in my home again. The quality of the work was excellent. The kit that arrived from the manufacturer that I had ordered was very complicated. In addition, the company that shipped the stair rail to my home had made numerous mistakes in our order, sending too many of some parts and not enough of others. The result was a kit that was a complete mess. The installer from K and H renovations was wonderful. He went back and forth to the hardware store to fill in the gaps of what was missing. Additionally, he was able to redesign the stair rail and make it work without me having to send it back to the manufacturer (again!). At the end of the project he said that he actually loved the job because it really let him use his brain! (How refreshing! I love people who love a challenge) I would not hesitate to use this company or recommend them to anyone. It was a wonderful experience! If only I had found them before I ordered a crazy stair rail system my life would have been a lot easier!

They were supposed to be finished July 15th, As of Oct 5th we are still going back and forth on a few things. They failed to clear city violations on the porch and didn't get the plans they were suppose to. They installed the wrong furnace 2 months ago and have not yet corrected. The concrete they poured was not even close to level. They did not clean up the area properly even after multiple requests. I did a 203K loan with them and they are familiar with this process, but they were more concerned with getting paid than getting the job done right and on time. I recently went to turn on the furnace they installed and gas line was only hand tightened, gas start hissing and leaking out everywhere. This is a very dangerous situation, much less in a rental unit. I could NEVER recommend them in good faith to anyone.
Description of Work: They tore out a stairwell and out in new washer dryer rooms, cemented basement floor and walks outside and put on new soffits on the building. The put in new metal stairs for the house and the garage. Replaced 2 furnaces and New roof on the garage. New drywall in the basement unit.

Response from K. H. RENOVATIONS, INC.
This was a rehab project on an old dilapidated 3 flat in the city. The client bought this property as an investment to rent the units. The original bids for this project was $20K more than the signed contract. The customer during the design/bid process kept removing portions of the job to save money. Once the project started their were many change orders due to unexpected items found with the property and customer adding work back into the scope. Whenever a client changes their mind and add work to a project it is going to add considerable time and money to the project. Due to delays in getting city permits the project was behind from the start. When applying for the permits the city did not require plans for the exterior porch violations but than at time of inspection the inspector would not inspect without plans. At the last minute plans had to be drawn to show what we did to correct the violations. Once plans were submitted all was good and no additional work on the porch had to be completed. The furnaces for each units were approved by the client and after they were installed he decided a wall unit would be better than a floor unit and wanted them switched. We came to an agreement and the furnace was switch out. We also poured a new concrete floor on the lower unit. At time of pour ceramic tile was being installed over the concrete so a rough finish was left. After the pour the client changed and wanted a vinyl tile installed which would require a smooth finish on the concrete. We did top the concrete with a leveling agent for the vinyl tile. This was a 203K loan in which there is a certified HUD Consultant assigned to the porject. All work MUST be inspected by the Consultant prior to any payments being made. All work was approved by the HUD Consultant and the City Inspectors for this project. This project went from $38K to well over $50K. I am always advising my clients to spend the time in the design/bid process to minimize any changed to the project. In this case the client continued to cut items during the design/bid process. Many of these items that were cut had to be added back in and that always adds additional time and money to the project. Unfortunately this project did take longer than any of us expected and there were a few problem (like in any project) but we did resolve all the concerns of the clients and the work was completed to the Client's, Consultant's, and the inspectors approval. We have been paid if full for this project. As an investor myself, I understand the client not being happy with the time and extra cost on this project. But most of it was because of his own doing and not ours.

A couple of the sub-contractors went over time. My first payment to them was in the end of January, and even with 6-day weeks, they really didn t finish till the first week of June. I got one of their sub-contractors to fit faucets for the shower, and it was over priced. We got the cabinets, countertops, tiles and heated floors all done newly. They laid the heated floor and the tiles over it, but the heated floor wouldn t work, and so they had to come back again to redo it. For the most part, their responsiveness to all of this was fairly good. The office personnel were very nice, and they did have some good painters. I m afraid that the owner got a little snippy with me, and my husband had to intervene I spent about $50000 on the project but I thought it would be around $40000. I learnt a lot from this experience. They said that they would take care of it, but I should have known better. I should have known what I wanted, and where I wanted things to be put. I should have guided them, and have somebody help me know what I was doing. I would advise anyone who is getting a job done to know what they want and not to leave it entirely to the service provider.
Description of Work: I used K. H. renovations to remodel my bathroom last year. They tore out the old one and completely put in the new.

This member is absolutely correct when she says " I would advise anyone who is getting a job done to know what they want and not to leave it entirely to the service provider" This was the main reason for the delay in completing this project. Our general practice is to give our customers suggestions and options for them to choose. There are many decisions that need to be made in a project of this size and if you are not sure exactly what you are looking for these decisions can be difficult. It is also very important to make this final decisions during the design and drawing stage of the project. By changing the design and or materials during the project you will usually pay more and add additional time to the project. The Design Fee "deposit" was received in January but because of the indecision the design stage took months to complete. From the time we started demolitions to the completion of the project was basically within our estimated timeframe. Many times in a project of this size there are items that may need to be readjusted or fixed after the customer starts to use everything. We have always been prompt to address any concerns or problems the customer may have. The member's where great to work for and we look forward to helping them on there next project.
