"Thank you [Member Name Removed]. You too were a pleasure to work with. So glad we were able to solve all the issues for you.."
"First and foremost this was NOT OUR CUSTOMER! We were a subcontractor for LOWES! Lowes directed the project and directed us on what to do. Our hands were tied The old saying "there are 2 sides to every story" applies here All records our documented and on file in our office for review by ANYONE who wants to see who caused the problems here. Lowes did not sell the customer WHAT WE GAVE THEM as a bid because they felt it was too expensive and didn't fit into their price lists! We tried to direct Lowes on how to handle this remodel on a 213 year old house. They would not listen to our experience. We asked to be allowed to cut test holes in the kitchen prior to bidding the project, but were told by the homeowner the walls were merely drywall. They were not. They were BRICK WALLS with furring strips applied into the mortar joints that fell out as the demolition took place. The problems this caused were huge because now there was no place to new drywall, hang cabinets, run electrical wires or plumbing. We now had to re-frame the entire kitchen. (UNKNOWN) Lowes had ordered all the cabinets and now the room sizes were incorrect due to having to frame the new walls in front of the out of square brick walls. Not our fault! The ceiling of the kitchen was not standard framing, it had huge hand hewed beams under the drywall that were placed merely inches apart not leaving any room for electrical that they wanted. ALL THIS WAS UNKNOWN becaause we were not allowed proper research on such an old structure. We had to re-frame an entire sub-ceiling to accommodate all the mechanical items necessary. Not Included in original bid. We called LOWES employees out the day we started the project since we were completely blindsided by the non-standard conditions. We were unable to deal directly with the customer and had to deal with Lowes employees who have NEVER handled a situation like this. They didn't even understand the terminology we were stating to them. We we instructed by LOWES not to continue on the project until they resolved the issues with the homeowner. Due to Lowes inability to understand all the complexities this is what caused all the delay in the project. WE terminated our agreement with Lowes, They DID NOT TERMINATE us. We have proof that is open for all to see. They are incompetent in the ability to run a project of any magnitude especially on a 200+ year old home. Lowes did not PAY US for the work that was completed on the project and NJ LAW allows us to file Mechanics liens to protect our money. As far as installing a door upside down, That is IMPOSSIBLE since the sill is sloped and on the bottom. The project was never finished so any flashing details were incomplete at the time. The customer also forgot to state that we had to install a STEEL lentil to hold up the exterior wall that was discovered to be improperly constructed by prior contractors and not discovered until after demolition was completed. That Item Alone was $4000.00. Since this is actually a LOWES Customers project and NOT an Only The Best Builder, llc project, we feel it should have NO BEARING on what we do as a company. We can only control results on projects that we are directly responsible for. NOTHING in this project reflects who, how or what we do. To judge us on this LOWES customers experience is totally unjustifiable."
