Todd P. is an independent contractor who works for Blue Water Pools in Port Huron, Michigan. Blue Water Pools provided us with his phone number when we wanted a pool liner installed. Blue Water Pools gave us a price of $450.00-500.00 to have our own liner installed. We contacted Todd and he gave us a price of $775.00 because "the pool was next to a deck". Keep in mind this was an installation of our OWN liner we had purchased online and was for Todd P's labor only!. He said He decides the price on his work, NOT Blue Water Pools. His price was considerably higher than what the store had quoted us and we told Todd this and he said that he would also hook up the PVC pipes to our swimming pool and Blue Water would take care of the Hayward Heater repair which we also needed done (as he didn't do heaters). He never did the job correctly. First, he said our liner we purchased online wouldn't work, even though the box said it was the right size, and we did end up having to return it and purchased a $530.00 liner from Blue Water Pools, which we had to go pick up at their store. After he installed the liner he left our home. The next day he sent a few young boys out to complete the job of hooking up the pipes. Since the water level in the pool was not to the point where the pump could be turned on and the pipes checked for leaks, one of the boys collected the money and signed a hand-written (by us) receipt and said that if there were any leaks that Todd would come back and fix the leaks. These details were also written out on the receipt WE had provided, (since I have a hard time just paying out nearly $800.00 in cash and not even have any sort of proof of it: hence, our hand written receipt). There were 5 leaks (2 due to gaskets, 3 just not tightened enough) and we contacted Todd to let him know. He sent 4 boys to supposedly fix the leaks, however, when they came they said they didn't have the parts ( $2.00 gaskets) on their truck to complete the job. If Todd knew there were leaks, why did he not send the boys with the parts they needed to fix them? I had even texted him before they came, took pictures of the leaks and told him what we probably needed (O-rings/gaskets). I called Todd several times and he finally got back to me, basically stating that he only does liners and this wasn't his problem. In other words, reneging on his original verbal agreement when giving us the original job quote. All of this after we paid him $775.00, $275.00 of this was to hook-up the pipes which he did not do. Also, we never received a receipt from him after he said he would mail our receipt to us. Maybe he takes all his money "under the table" and that's the reason for no receipt; BTW, when I first met him I asked if he was licensed, and he said he was, which I seriously doubt after all this.
Blue Water Pools gave us a price of $450-$500 to install the liner. Their installer Todd charged $785.00 and agreed to hook up our PVC pipes and he did not do this properly. We had to pay another company to do what we paid him to do. Money is hard to come by, when you are on a fixed income. All I can say to myself is live and learn!!!

When we first met this builder he stated that "there is one thing he don't like to talk about and that's money". Way too many surprises and he was not honest when asked about questions pertaining to the budget. Money was allocated for flat work and finish grade excavation but the builder used that money to pay for his mistakes. All upgrades and some of his overages were paid out of our pocket. Why would he tell us that all his bids were padded but in reality they were not. As homeowners we were not told about change orders until work was done and thousands more over budget. This builder is very misleading and lacks integrity. Lesson learned here: save yourself 15 to 20 percent and sub the job out yourself because anybody can make phone calls to line up a contractor to do a specific job.
Bottom line here we were 15,000 dollars over budget..

Like drilling a hole in the wrong spot on our cabinet door and choosing to fill it with crayon stick instead of replacing door! When we pointed out some of these issues he argued with us and acted insulted. In the end we accepted the "good enough" work because we were already one and a half months past the estimated time to finish. We wish we could tell you that he did the right thing in the end by compensating financially.......but we can't

FAQs for cabinet contracting projects in Chippewa Lake, MI
Custom cabinets are worth the investment to transform the look of your kitchen with a design, color scheme, and aesthetic that’s unique to your home. If you’re looking for cabinets that reflect your personality but are more cost-effective, semi-custom cabinets are a great alternative that allows you to showcase your style, but with pre-made cabinets instead of fully custom. Custom cabinets also provide a 70 to 80 percent return on investment, making them a worthwhile purchase.
The cost of cabinet refacing is $7,230 on average. However, it's possible to pay between $1,200 and $16,000 for this project. Factors like the number of cabinets and the refacing materials impact the total cost significantly.
For example, plastic laminate is the most cost-effective cabinet option for refacing, costing $1,000 to $3,000. If you're looking for solid wood cabinets, you can expect to pay more, ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 on average for refacing.
The difference between cabinet refinishing vs. cabinet refacing is that the latter involves replacing most of the cabinet components, whereas the former only freshes the exterior look of the cabinetry.
Cabinet refinishing involves the cabinetry being disassembled, cleaned, and sanded, then a new finish, like paint or glaze, is applied. You can refinish the cabinet doors or go further and refinish the cabinet boxes, too.
Cabinet refacing involves replacing the majority of the cabinet materials, including the cabinet, drawer doors, and hardware. In this process, a veneer is applied over the existing cabinet boxes to make them look new.
The cost to refinish cabinets is $3,000 on average. However, this cost can range from $700 to $6,000, depending on the size and location of the cabinets, the refinishing method, and number of cabinets.
Staining your cabinet doors is the most cost-effective option, costing between $4 and $10per square foot. However, if you choose to glaze them, that price jumps to $10 to $25per square foot.
Custom cabinets cost between $500 and $1,200 per linear foot on average to install. Factors like materials, size, and type of cabinet doors you choose significantly affect the overall cost.
For example, a basic slab cabinet door can cost $60 to $70 for materials alone. As its name suggests, this material is a piece of wood with no unique features. However, a mullioned glass inset panel door, which features a designed glass panel, ranges from $100 to $200 for materials per cabinet door.
