It is still not complete, we have cancelled in lieu of making the final install (3151.25 already paid! and I feel stupid trusting and paying for nothing but trouble) and we will need to hire (pay again) someone else to complete and replace/repair work that was not done to standard or code. We were told they don't schedule work until signed contract is received and they expected 1/2 of the contract amount at signing. After signing the contract I was told we were on their rainy day schedule since it was spring and they were doing a lot of outside work. Should have cancelled then (this was the 1st of many "misunderstandings" as they claimed or excuses) but I assumed it was their way of possibly getting us started before wrapping up a few outside jobs they said they currently had in progress. I was wrong. A few weeks later, when they had only been here two half days (there had also been more rainy days than that), I requested we be penciled in for set dates. My request was ignored. I thought the half up front was for ordering the laminate I picked, the countertop board, glue, the sink, the faucet, a few 2 x 4s, a few drywall boards and some mud. I began to question this after the delays in work and materials. Calculated a total supply cost of approximately 500.00 - 600.00. Half down was 1848.00! I later found out the laminate wasn't ordered until mid- June when it was used as an excuse for further delay (had to be ordered) and at that time I was told it would take an additional 4-6 weeks to build the laminate countertops. Standard timeframe for a laminate countertop is about 2 weeks. I have since called places that do this to confirm the timelines. Rick ignored the contract and our requests and did what he wanted. When we requested corrections/fixes to work not done to standard or as agreed in the contract, we were greeted with resistance, followed by excuses for why it was done the way he did it, and refusal to make right unless we paid for change requests (again,we did not make changes, we asked for quality and corrections). When we persisted the work be corrected, Rick became aggressive/confrontational, raised his voice, used profanity, and made inappropriate comments (sexual and sexist in nature). Sue (his wife/business manager) also witnessed this behavior and was o.k. with it! After all the delays, the refusal to correct work to standard or as stated in contract, and the un acceptable responses/behaviors, we cancelled the contract. We have paid 3151.25 and in no way did we get what we paid for.
Contract signed 4/25/14. From 4/28/14 to 6/2/14 they were at our place a total of three ½ days and 1 full day. As of November they had not returned. 6 months later they had still not completed the small job. For 6 months the once finished area of the basement had unfinished plumbing, drywall, exposed wood studs, and bare electrical hanging out of the wall. Problems with quality/standards of work done: Rick hooked up hot/cold water and drain for the kitchenette sink using existing lines going to a bathroom in our basement. The lines Rick added were not secured and move when the bathroom faucet is turned on making a knocking sound. When noticed this and asked to fix, Rick responded it was too late because he had already installed the drywall. The kitchen sink faucet is in place but not hooked up. Contract stated the faucet was to be Delta, the faucet was a Price Pfister (a typically less expensive brand). The countertops are not standard. One side of the regular countertop is standard (25 inches deep) and the other countertop is not to standard (24 ¾ inches deep). This means the countertop will never over hang the door/drawer fronts as it should. These were also made with a wood inlay that does not match. The wood inlay was made up of two different types of wood (some appears to be pine and some oak) that has a lot of grain and variance in the color of the stain. The cabinets are cherry wood doors and drawer fronts in a nutmeg stain. Even if the countertops delivered had been to standard, the wood inlays are not the same color as the cabinets and did not match appearance of the cherry wood cabinets which have no grain. I never saw and do not have the raised bar counter top I paid for. Backsplash not standard. I paid for a standard kitchen (as stated in contract) and Rick attempted to install white PVC board as the backsplash (the laminate was a dark slate gray). When I addressed this, I was told a change request was needed and I?d have to pay extra for the standard back splashes ($277.00 extra) in matching laminate. In addition, the wall cabinets were hung to low (were supposed to be closer to ceiling leaving only enough space for crown molding trim we already had) and in turn the electrical outlets behind the counter top were low. This left only 12 inches of clearance between the counter top and bottom of wall cabinets (standard is 18 inches). No room for a blender, toaster, or microwave. Only 3 ½ inches of clearance from counter top to electrical outlets (standard backsplash is 4 inches). All needed to be raised to be right and Rick made excuses, got angry and did not move. Outside of standards, the counter top was not as stated in the contract. The counter top was to incorporate a basement post. The countertop cuts off at the basement post and was not designed to incorporate the post. Materials were different than what was agreed. In addition to the white PVC board that was not agreed to, they were supposed to use bead board or wainscott to finish out the backside of cabinets/under raised bar and the sides of cabinets. Although it was not brought in and we never saw, when we inquired (after other discrepancies were obvious) we were told it was luan.
Problems with door framing standards. After the initial contract was proposed, we added a change request to extend a utility closet wall and move/reframe the closet door. Rick told us the existing door would work in the new opening and we did not need to purchase a smaller door. The door was moved and framed incorrectly. The door trim is recessed and flush with the drywall, not on top as it should be. The door was supposed to be cut off at the bottom to fit under the heating /air duct soffit. This was not done. Also, the existing wall was somewhat out of square. Rick's solution was to shave thetrim on the left side of the door frame as it gets closer to the ceiling and the door trim at the top was cut in half. Instead of telling us a smaller door would be needed to ensure the trim was not right up against the wall and allow for centered in opening he installed and shaved the trim as it went up the wall. Basically, it was a full 2 3/4 inch trim at the bottom, about 1/2 way up it began running into the wall and is shaved on the edge to be about an 1 inch in total smaller at the top of the door. When we saw this I asked for it to be made right. I was all for and agreed to purchase a smaller door, cut to order for the opening. Rick would not correct the botched framing without us paying a change request which was more than the original request paid to exten"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ky/./a-b-c-reviews-7966343.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"D C KITCHENS","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"KY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jennifer G."},"reviewBody":"It went very well from design to install.

"It's hard looking for the right person to do anything handy in your home, let alone a major three-bathroom remodel. I met with four contractors before I chose Louisville City Handyman (LCH), one whose reputation deemed them experts in remodeling 100-year-old homes in my neighborhood. Their quote was very close between LCH, but what sold me on LCH was how the contractor, Keenan, communicated with me during the quote assessment, and I am so glad I decided to move forward with him. Keenan was highly communicative, ALWAYS punctual, showed up every day (for over three months), gave up-to-date updates every week, cleaned up after every shift, and on top of all that, he was really pleasant to be around. I work from home, so we interacted daily. His creative problem-solving skills amazed me. He has this great ability to provide the highest quality of work even when something unexpected comes up, which often happens in houses as old as mine. He focused on delivering my vision, never looking for shortcuts or the easy way to do things. For most people, the longer they're in business, the more they lose integrity in their work. As the years go by, I'm certain that won't be an issue for LCH. I caught Keenan standing back and looking at what he and his team had accomplished after completing the job. People like him and companies like Louisville City Handyman are rare these days. I would, and have, recommended them to everyone. As we continue to remodel our home, LCH will be top of mind."

FAQs for residential design projects in Shelbyville, KY
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
