The job has been plagued by incompetent workmanship and lack of ability or willingness to re-mediate grossly inadequate renovation tasks.
I have given them multiple opportunities to fix an individual piece of work and even the fix is a problem. For example: after having agreed multiple times not to lay flooring until work that could damage the flooring is completed, high quality (read expensive) vinyl planks were put down in an area where enamel spray painting was in progress. This resulted in a fine mist of paint covering about 15 sq.ft. of flooring. Mr. May agreed to replace that area of flooring and then re-negotiated to be given the opportunity to remove the paint. I agreed on condition that the cleaning would not be executed with force sufficient to damage the planks. Then, they sanded the planks. Mr. May asked me to take a look because it came out great. The surface was dull and roughened.
The company's attitude towards it's customers can be summed up in the exchange I had when discussing my request to replace a damaged cabinet. He didn't see a reason to do so because "this is just a garage apartment". It isn't a garage apartment but that is of course, beside the point. It was ultimately replaced but replacement of the floor cabinet with a cracked base and hole on the side was denied.
Royal Renovations staff work ethics are a problem. Workers show up around 9am and leave at 3:30, when they show up. They've left trash and rubbish all over the work area and piled heavy equipment on personal property. They urinated on the toilet seat and in my backyard, come into my home and helped themselves to my personal property damaging step ladder, brooms, buckets and dust pans.
They lined up power tools on a counter-top protected by a thin piece of cellophane and placed a large saw on the kitchen island. When asked to put a drop cloth under them, they complained that they didn't need to be told what to do. After getting commitments from David May to fix a problem, Royal Renovations staff argue that the agreements made between the owner and myself are unnecessary. I am afraid that continuing to allow them to work on the apartment will result in escalating costs that I will incur to have qualified renovation experts complete the job. I have had an estimate of $7000 in labor to repair and complete the work. This doesn't include costs to replace damaged materials.
Summary of SOME problems in the job.
The entire Bathroom tiling job has to be redone.
Bathroom Floor Tiling
Thin-set extruding from between floor tiles
Cracked floor tiles
Room and shower floor is wavy, it was not surfaced and leveled
Grout mixed too thin and is cracking a pulling away from tiles
Bathroom Wall Tiling
Un-sanded grout used instead of sanded grout
Deep pits cracks and uneven grouting throughout
Subway tile spacing to wide
Pattern not maintained
Bathroom Shower Area
Multiple areas dealing with the integrity of the shower area leading to the concern that the entire area is not waterproof.
Corners and floor seams not sealed
Drain installed at an angle producing a sharp cutting edge.
The high side of the drain protrudes above the floor as do several tiles in the shower floor.
Cracked floor tiles
Shower floor has a visually wavy surface
The same grouting failures on walls and floors
Bedroom Drywall installed 4 inches too short, did not extend all the way down the wall. Ineffectively resolved by adding a piece of drywall to the bottom of the wall. The seam is obvious and the drywall tape is splitting from the wall. Furnish & Install new Sub-Floor in Bedroom as needed to bring Floor to Kitchen Level. The whole point was to make the floor in one room match the level of the floor in the adjoining room. New floor fell approximately .5 inch below the target level. The solution was to use leveling agent to grade the difference in height from one level to the other. It was applied in a sort of bumpy mound without smoothing and then flooring placed on top. I had to intervene and ask that in be smoothed and graded. At the time of the intervention the vinyl planks covering the area were ripped up in such a way as to damage them beyond re-use. Bathroom Pocket Door Installation:
Pocket Door was hung well below the level of the upper molding and at an angle. Wall enclosing pocket door on bedroom side is not internally braced and flexes.Casing inside the door frame was cut and installed too narrow and workman decided to build up the frame with a half inch piece of wood instead of re-cutting casing.Casing was cut too short above floor leaving a space of ¼? between the floor and casing.Threshold: Space not allocated to install customary granite bathroom threshold.Molding on the hall side of the door installed at an angle. Remove existing Bathroom door and close opening:
Paneling used to complete the new wall in two areas was a pressed paper product. Workmen replaced existing wood paneling with all pressed paper product. I complained several times about the walls buckling. When I learned what type of product was used I called it to Mr. May's attention. He replied that the work was fine in a bathroom as long as it was painted over. I sent him the manufacture?s specs and offered to pay him to upgrade the paneling. The invoice lists the new paneling as WOODEN but this is false. He replaced it with the same composite material that has a surface rated for bathrooms...and it buckled, so his guys glued it to the studs. I could keep writing....but I think you get the point.

I had Bill come over an take a look at it to see if I could at least just salvage it to make it sit up straight because it matched some other pieces of a bedroom set I had.. He said he could repair it. I was not expecting it to ever look anywhere near the original condition as a large chunk of the bottom had to be replaced. When he returned with the chest I could not believe what a great job he did. If I didn't tell anyone that it had ever been damaged they would never know. He pieced in some new wood on the bottom and even stained it to match the rest of the piece. I would definitely use his service again and highly recommend him to anyone with a furniture repair project.

Leather and Vinyl Repair questions, answered by experts
As you look for quotes for flooring repair, consider how the severity of the problem and the accessibility of the damage will impact your costs and budget.
Refinishing a few hardwood planks with minor scratches will cost thousands of dollars less than completely replacing an entire water-damaged floor. Likewise, a first-floor structural problem in a house with an unfinished basement is easy to access from below, while a similar issue on a second-story floor will require your flooring pro to remove several layers to get to the damage.
Soft spots in a mobile home floor can be caused by settling of the foundation or by improperly installed foundations. If the foundation moves, it can create stress on the floor material, causing soft spots to form. Water damage can also cause soft spots in the floor, so it’s a good idea to get a pro to inspect your floors if you have soft spots.
Even with proper floor protection, small scratches sometimes happen. If it’s just a minor scuff, you can often buff it out with a sponge and a bit of floor polish. For slightly worse scratches, there are a variety of scratch removal products that may help, including finish restorer and blending pencils.
If you are ready to work on replacing floorboards but discover that your hardwood floor type has been discontinued, there are some options. You can get a piece of unfinished wood in the same wood type and thickness and stain it yourself. Also, consider contacting the manufacturer to see what similar products they may have in their product line that may work for you. Otherwise, you can contact a speciality company to customize exactly what you need.
Many types of flooring can cover tiles, including vinyl, vinyl plank, engineered wood, carpet, and hardwood. The most common are various types of vinyl and engineered woods because of their versatility. However, as long as the tile floor is in good condition, you can install a flooring that fits your vision for the space.
