We used Shell Only for 2 large home renovations. While our foreman, Denny, and his team were excellent, the quality of the product was not. Particularly the laminate flooring that was used throughout our house during the second renovation. At the time we chose the cabinets, windows and fixtures we were also asked to choose the color of the floor. We live in a Levit home on a concrete slab and had a wonderful PERGO floor prior to this. So we were expecting no less. What we got was a terrible product right from the beginning. We trusted Shells and if they told us to choose a different floor we would have. The floor pulled apart and showed bumps from the cement underneath. Shells came and tried to nail it down. My family and I have to live with this floor. Shells never did the right thing by us, which would have been to refund the cost of the floor in this part of the house or replace it. I would not recommend this company because they do not stand by there work and do not have the character or professionalism to make things right.

The entire process went pretty good. We did a major renovation with a large addition. They have a large crew that gets the job done. They are great when standing behind their products and construction. Would reccomend

Ordered job in April, job did not start until middle of June. Kept telling me materials were not in. While taking out tiles and removing existing sink and counter top, water was leaking onto the floor. Before I noticed the situation, my floating floor was soaked. Had to wait about a week before they returned, and it was a disaster from there. I am a teacher, and I wanted the job done before school was out. The tile people came, and did an awful job. I then again had to wait weeks before they came back, also they ran out of tiles during mid job, also holding up the refinishing. Again they sent over someone during my summer break, and I had to come home to make sure it was done properly. Again, it was not, and not to mention, although they sent someone to fix my floor, it was not guaranteed to be perfect. I did not have enough slats for them to fix the now warped floor. Back splash tiles were uneven, and they actually tiled them on to my refrigerator. All and all, started in April, with a payment up front of course, job finally completed in September. They gave me back $900 for a job they know they screwed up on. Did I want the money, no, just wanted a new looking kitchen, and thought I had hired a professional team. I would never use them again!

"[Member Name Removed], We were made aware that you were unsatisfied with your experience with Shells Only; we’d like to take this opportunity to address your issues. As you were aware, the tile you selected for the project was special order and unfortunately because we are not the manufacturer we could not control the arrival date. In regards to the water leak, the day you notified Shells Only our plumber arrived that day to address your concern. He discovered the leak was a result of a corroded 3/8” copper tubing nut on your dishwasher. As you’ll remember our plumber showed and left the defective part with Mr. [Member Name Removed] and yourself. Even though the leak was caused by a preexisting issue with your dishwasher, we repaired it for you free of charge. Had you made us aware of the leak when you initially noticed it a day earlier, we would have repaired it before it damaged the floating floor; this is what our 24-hour Emergency line is for. We offered to repair the flooring but you declined our offer. The same thing when you mentioned that you were unhappy with the tile work we offered that same day to address your concerns and again you declined. Shells Only was more than willing to do whatever was necessary to make you happy, as is the case with all of our clients. We would have preferred the opportunity to address the issues making you 100% happy with the project but at your request you selected to accept a refund in the amount of $900. If you would like to return the monies and have us complete the job we’d be more than happy to do so. You can reach us at 631-422-9190 or just stop into our showroom at 355 Sunrise Highway since you are local to us."

We interviewed four contractors. Shells was the only company to return all of our phone calls / answer all of our questions before we chose them to do the job. They were the most thorough with explaining the entire process. They offered the same quality material as the other contractors, and the least expensive. They installed a new roof, siding, windows and built a portico. The job started and finished as promised. The crew was professional and neat. The staff at the showroom was very helpful as well. We would definitely use them again if needed.
