"Horrible. I don't know who provided the A ratings or how they achieved those, but it was no where near my experience. First, I was hit on by the owner. He alluded to it being friendly and a joke, but he later continued when in my home to work. His bid was over double everyone else's. I had received 5-6 bids. When I advised the owner, Kraig, of this, he matched the other quotes I was given. I had one more bid for the next day and advised the next day that I was going with the other company. He then dropped the price lower, so that I would go with them. Seeing the A ratings and other reviews, I didn't think I could go wrong. He also had promised that he believes in the customer being happy and fully satisfied with their work. He said it would take 2 maybe 3 days to complete the work. This was the same as the other quotes I received. He said he would start the following day. He came out with another worker to prep the floors. They did a little prep work, but not what he had explained they would do. Instead, the other worker wanted to discuss the price, which I advised that if they weren't happy with the agreed to price, that's fine, I could call the other company in who could start that Friday. They said that was the price they agreed to and would do it. The owner said he wanted to win my future business and knew I would be pleased with their work. He wanted to do whatever it would take for me to be happy. (Mind you, the other worker, made a comment that I perceived as a hit-on, but I dismissed it. Later, he commented on my looks, which let me know it was most likely a hit on.) The owner said he would begin the installation the next day, Friday, if the flooring was available. The flooring was available. He dropped the planks off on Friday, but now said he'd start the install on Monday. He had said he had another project beginning the next Friday, and would be done by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. I had told him several times how I wanted the work done ASAP. That night, around 10:30PM, the other worker texts to connect on a business site. I accept. He then texts me a few times saying he needs to speak with me right away. This is very unsettling, I respond the next day that we can speak on Monday. Monday comes and they shows up for work later than I was told they'd arrive. They work for about an hour and then leave for lunch around 11AM. They come back and work for about 2-3 hours and call it a day. The whole time they are working, they argue about how the floor is supposed to go in. They complain about the cuts and how hard the installation is. They say they are tired and just seemingly unhappy about the work. This happens throughout the entire installation. They ask if they can come earlier in the morning the next day, I say of course. They ask how early is too early? I say they are welcome as early as 6 AM, should they choose. They say they will arrive at 9AM. There are just a few rows of flooring installed. Tuesday comes and they arrive at 9:30AM. More complaining and arguing. They break for lunch about an hour in. I go to look at the work and to my heartbreak and dismay, they have damaged the posts on my staircase. They have also cut the stringer. I'm perplexed. I speak with the owner when they return and he says they needed to cut it to get the planks in. It is not what we discussed how it would go in and it was cut way too high and not in a straight line. I am well versed in interior-architectural design and this is wrong. I've completed site/project punch-out lists, so I'm aware. In our conversation, he says he will do whatever it takes to make it right and me happy. I say okay. They leave early for the day again around 2 or 3PM. I send him images of the costs to replace the posts, including stain, etc. The next morning, they are late and do not speak when I greet them. I stand to speak with them, but they are visibly upset. I turn to leave, they start on the posts. We go over their damaging my posts and stringer. In the end, the owner says he will do whatever it takes to make me happy. They want to trim it out and see what I think, I say I need time to process it. The next morning, the owner arrives earlier than the other. He says he wants to get more of the floor laid out, but he spends his time talking with me about the other, telling me his personal business and issues. He did apologize for the other texting me, which he had done again very late on another night and I told him not to text me in front of the owner. And what does he do after apologizing for the unprofessional behavior and telling me that he will do whatever it is to make it right? He hits on me. I could continue with the events of every day, but it is the same. They were late (starting around 11 AM or thereafter a number of days), took 1-2 hour lunches, argued and complained, made smart comments to me...just VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. On their last day in my home, the owner just sat around saying he was tired. A project that was supposed to take 2-3 days at the most, took them 2 weeks...14 days. And, they still didn't complete it. The other worker , Randy, was also a plumber. He had begun telling me he would do this and that at no cost (to make up for my stair posts). Long story short, he did not keep his word and asked if I would give them a couple hundred dollars or more! I asked the owner to pick up his tools and to not return. Even in our last conversation, he would say he wanted to make me happy. I'd tell him what would make me happy, but he wouldn't do it (then or throughout the job). There are issues with my floor, they caused damage to my home, the trim was not installed, my toilet and vanity not reset. I would NOT rehire them if they were the last remodeling company on the planet. I hope this review is helpful for someone. To give you a final idea, one of them said they were not able to get away with anything on this (my) job. I hope that puts it into perspective."

"They did a terrible job. My shower pan was very very gritty and it should have been smooth. They did it twice and it was still gritty. They said they had no idea why. They blamed me by saying that I should not have sanded the pan. I used 400 grit sandpaper on the ridges of the floor. I could not sand in between the ridges. They used 120 grit sandpaper to sand in between the ridges. After they sprayed the pan you could see and feel a very gritty look on the floor. They blamed me by saying you should never sand fiber glass. Ha Ha, they sanded with course sand paper and blamed me for using 400 grit. The next day they scraped off all of the gritty paint, sanded it again, and sprayed it again. Still the same results. I paid them but I feel ripped off. They are so called experts at this and worked hard to say it was my fault. I really wanted to figure out the problem, but they had no clue. Maybe it was this and maybe it was that. Experts?? I would say not."

Have you ever signed a contract with someone, only to find out that the job wasn’t done to your satisfaction: shoddy workmanship, unfinished job, couldn’t contact them, cost you more than expected, etc.?

Our number one priority is customer service and satisfaction: We use only the highest quality products We train and certify all of our technicians We work exclusively on bathroom remodels All of this is done to make sure you are happy with the end results.
"I would never hire this company again, which I regret to say. They did my bathroom in March 2025. Complete remodel. It was so poorly done, they had to do it all over again. First time 4 days, second time 3.5 days. Marcus was the salesman that gave me an estimate. Camron and Hector were the first team to come out. They did very sloppy work. They rushed it. Ken, the project manager, even said it looked like a bad DIY project. Details and pics are below. I called to complain, they offered me a 10% discount. And they did give me reimbursement for the 3.5 days of pto I had to use for the second round. They said anything more than 10% would void the warrenty of the work. Discount was really bad, especially for the stress. But I either had to take them to court and get my money back or lose out on money then hire a whole new company, or give them a second shot. I went the path of least resistance. They contracted another company to do the work, Canales Construction who did a good job. If"

The cost to refinish a bathtub is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from $200 to $1,000 or more, depending on your tub's material and condition.
For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed.
For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub—you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side.
If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it.
If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.
There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:
Rust stains, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating
Small chips, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting
Discoloration, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly
Dirty surfaces, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating
Refinishing a bathtub is worth it if your tub has minor damage or is a color that you don't like. The cost of replacing a bathtub is more expensive than simply refinishing one, averaging around $5,300. It's more cost-effective to refinish your tub if you can, but it also gives you the look of a new bathtub without having to replace the whole thing.
