"We apologize for not meeting your expectations on the project, [Member Name Removed]. Please give us a call to discuss it further and see how we can make it right."
"We apologize for the issues you're describing here. We do take this feedback seriously and will speak with our team to understand what happened here. We will be in touch with you to discuss further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention."
In fact, my original contract was amended three times; twice because of things the salesman "forgot" to put into the contract that should have been there. Of course he apologized and said it was an oversight. Of course, each time I scrutinized every line and tried to think of everything that should be included (doors, yes, ahh, and trim!--was I forgetting anything? Oh--nails, sheetrock... yeah, believe it or not, it was kind of like that!); but I'm not a professional building contractor, so bound to be ignorant! Wasn't that why I hired this company, to do this for me?? And with every amendment, the price went up! The salesman claimed not to have understood my full intentions, was sorry that we weren't "on the same page". Very clever Doublespeak.
The workers were great for the most part. They were not always punctual, would mostly just show up when they wanted. They would say they'd be here in the morning and maybe not show up until noon or sometimes a day or a couple days later. But when they did show up, they worked. And the work they did was solid, good work, for the most part. Not excellent or above average, but good. The sub-contractors for the roof had to come back and do it over, as the roof leaked (through the light fixture!) the first time it rained. Two items still to be repaired: One of the screens came out along the edge of the window, and the gutter has to be re-hung, as the rain just flows under it. But there is a Lifetime Warranty, after all. Right? Not if you are in a feud with the company.
Apparently, to Champion of Wichita, remodeling doesn't include adding trim nor does it include finishing the job or fixing mistakes your workers made. After receiving numerous promises to have this work completed, which never happened, I was then told the job was finished. I have pics (will try to post) of work they said was "finished" that I eventually had to hire another company to complete (see my review on "Handyman Matters"). On 27 August 2013, I was told by the Champion Wichita boss Todd that my last few jobs, which are still under contract, would be completed "soon". Weeks, then months passed with no action. When I contacted the company, I was told they can't help me until I pay my bill. I owe a tiny fraction-- $3500, and the contract states I do not have to pay in full until the job is completed, which it isn't. I mistakenly thought that owing them a little money would motivate them to provide service--Nope! And I am equally convinced that had I paid them, nothing would be changed.
So I am left with siding that doesn't match, although it clearly states in my contract "to match existing siding" (the contractors and salesman cheerfully told me, "All you need is paint!"--Really?); unfinished decking and some small finish issues with my Patio Room. I paid, handsomely, for the rest of the repairs, so that I could get on with the remodel and my life and start using my house again.
I caution anyone who uses this company to triple-check the contract for flaws and exclusions, such as trim, and to be aware that the sub-contractors that Champion uses are not the best, just usually the cheapest. Keep about a third of the contract price until the job is completed--to YOUR satisfaction.
