Plan 2 Finish, Inc.

DO NOT HIRE Plan2Finish, Here's some perspective that hopefully causes people to avoid Greg and his company. We hired Greg Zakucia in 2008 for another basement project, which despite some typical issues, went remarkably well overall. When we purchased our next home in early December 2014, we offered Greg the basement project without any hesitation, provided he finished the project in 5 months, which was the time period of our previous basement project. Despite some hardship to our family, but to accelerate the project, we agreed not to move into the new home until Greg's work was 90% finished. He gladly accepted the job, the 5 month timeline and our substantial deposit without disclosing the other commitments he made to similar customers around that time or without the necessary resources to reasonably satisfy all of his customers. Greg would only deploy workers on specific projects around the time the next milestone payment was due, but never fully completed every previous milestone. Getting consistent attention and performance from Greg and his company was a full time job. Thankfully one of us is between jobs right now, otherwise we would not have the ability to stay on top of Greg. We can only image how some of the other customers, who need to work every day, are dealing with Greg. For us, it has taken daily emails, texts and phone calls to find out when someone would even show up to our home. A good week was getting 4-8 hours of solid work complete. Greg offered an endless list (too many to outline here) of excuses, none of which mind you, according to Greg, reflected negatively upon him or his company. Today, our basement project is 75% complete, with some of the previous work (drywall, tile, paint, staining, electrical) needing rework. Greg has more of our money than we have work completed. In the end, we feel especially violated by Greg Zakucia. We are repeat customers. We gave him our blind trust based on a previous good experience. He knowingly took advantage of that trust. He knew he could not or would not meet the expectations agreed to at the time we signed the contract, but took our money anyway. If Greg is willing to do this to a previous customer, can you image how he treats new customers? We truly hope no other people put their trust or money in Plan2Finish. .

Facts you should know about Plan 2 Finish/ Fine Home Renovations and Gregory Alan Zakucia... Oakland County- People vs. Zakucia Gregory Alan was filed on June 25, 2015. 09/04/2015 plea guilty ct2. Date set for sentencing on October 9, 2015 at 8:30am. Greg Zakucia has been involved in numerous lawsuits under several entity names in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County. Greg Zakucia is NOT a licensed builder according to the State of Michigan. Our story is no different than the other reviews found on Yelp to date. Greg Zakucia left us with an enormous mess. We hired Greg Zakucia to finish our basement in October 2014. at that time we were expecting a baby in April 2015 and needed the basement finished for guests. Greg Zakucia told us he would complete the basement in 2-3 months. Greg Zakucia took our money at the start of each phase and then wouldn't show up for weeks. Beware that Greg Zakucia starts every phase (ie. electrical, plumbing, finish carpentry) but fails to finish anything. In November 2014 he claimed hunting season, in December 2014 he claimed he was dealing with employee issues and that he would double up on crews in the new year. Crews of 3-4 men were never sent to our home except on the days he collected our payments. We moved out of our home for 26 days when our baby was born so that Greg Zakucia could have unlimited access to complete the job. We believed Greg Zakucia would complete our basement during that time but that did not happen. In fact, they didn't complete anything. In May 2015 Greg Zakucia claimed that he had an employee coming from over seas to wrap up our basement in June 2015. We met that employee 2 times. We now know Greg Zakucia never had a Plan 2 Finish. Greg Zakucia robbed our family, don't let him rob yours. Don't trust him, he is a seasoned liar!

The owner of Plan 2 Finish, sold us with a great design and expectations of a superior project which would be completed in a reasonable timeframe for our basement. Our contract was signed in late November 2014 and our basement sits unfinished today, August 2015. Things got off to a great start in early December 2014; framing, drywall, rough electrical and plumbing were executed quickly. Then, after he was given several more payment installments, progress completely stalled. Over the next several months workers from the company would only show up after phone calls to discuss the lack of progress. Initially, loosing staff was cited for the lack of work being done and that he would have someone hired by the following week (he continued to say this but no one would show up.) We asked for several meetings to resolve this issue, which he would commit to then not show up for. After a ridiculous amount of ultimatums and 'second chances' our basement is still not complete, 8 months later. We have left several messages and have not heard back. We've tried alternative ways to come to a reasonable and fair resolution, but the owner Gregory Zakucia, has not responded. We do not want him to do this to any other families, buyer beware. His company is 'Plan 2 Finish' but he also has a company called 'Fine Home Renovations'
