Vase Construction LLC

Vase Construction (VC) was hired on a referral from another contractor who I had contracted in July 2009 for a separate job. VC was contracted to renovate two 11' x 5' single pane windows in a factory-converted condominium complex in the warehouse district. Work began on Thursday, 1/28/10 but was not completed until over three weeks later. Issues of concern: Poor Quality/Workmanship: The windows needed to be restained secondary to incomplete initial staining in which multiple panes of wood were left unstained. Similarly, polyurethane application was incomplete, leaving multiple areas of untreated wood. The windows were inadequately scraped and cleaned at the conclusion of the job. Overall workmanship was poor. Lack of Professionalism: Poor communication (phone calls were not returned) and failure to appear as promised (twice and without calling to to cancel or reschedule) were the main issues. VC did little to restrict the impact of the work being performed (e.g. no vertical drop sheets to restrict the spread of wood dust, lack of timeliness in completion of work-a three day job took over three weeks to complete with a significant impact on the living situation within the condo). Moreover, VC appeared to be unapologetic and did not seem to recognize the poor quality of work or work provision. Due to the poor quality of workmanship and lack of professionalism, my request to hang new window blinds at the completion of the job was withdrawn.
