It went poorly, start to finish.
Description of Work: Finished my basement. Among other things, sold on the basis they come back after one year to inspect and repair any problems. Despite electrical circuits that stopped working, doors falling off their hinges, ceiling fans falling out, etc. they didn't come back. They won't even respond. Terrible company. Avoid it.

They were good at sales, prompt and persistent at billing. Other than those areas they were poor at being a general contractor although they charge a high price for their services. Basically they have a subcontractor in each area who charge a competitively high price for their work, Nicola passes this on plus a hefty markup. The subcontractors then pretty much do things as they please with minimal control or proactive management by Nicola. A few of the subs are good, most are average to poor, so the work varies greatly. You wind up with some good work but many things undone or done poorly. Communication is very poor with workers often having no knowledge of prior discussions with Nicola. And Nicola often has little knowledge of what's going on at the jobsite. Once they are paid they ignore all promises and don't even respond to calls. Overall with Nicola you get a good sales job, pay a lot of money but get little value for it. Go find a general contractor who adds good value.
Description of Work: Finish lower level of my home.
