HOUSE REVIVERS

"This is the same person that wrote the other negative review(see my response there). I guess he really doesn't like us although in this review he did say he would hire us again, not that we would ever work for him."

"I have been in the remodeling business for over 30 years and [Member Name Removed] was the most difficult, unreasonable person I have ever worked for.This work was in a house that [Member Name Removed] had bought on a short sale to flip but because we had no plans or specs to work from I made it clear that it was a Time & Materials job and my estimates were budget estimates only. All of my billing was T&M billing so he could keep track of the costs as we went along.I trusted [Member Name Removed] as we had worked together before but I made a serious error in not having him sign a contract. He constantly added to the scope of the work, replacing a kitchen that was only a few years old, finishing off an unfinished third floor, adding a very expensive tiled bathroom/master bedroom suite, building a new two car two story carriage house garage, and completely rebuilding a large porch on two sides of the building.In addition he had us repaint rooms that were done when he didn't like the first color he had picked and redo areas that were finished because he wanted a different style. Including this job we had done a number of other jobs for this customer and he always praised the quality of our work. In fact the only complaints I heard about this job was that the cost was too high and we weren't working fast enough. After the job was finished he refused to pay the final bill so I was forced to put a lien on the property(as did several subcontractors) and start legal proceedings. Even during these legal proceedings I heard no complaints about the quality of the work only the costs. It was after I started legal proceedings that this review was written and I think it was motivated by our lawsuit more than dissatisfaction over the work. I am pleased that [Member Name Removed] will not hire us again as I would never do any work for him again. This is one area we certainly agree on."
