CADILLAC CONTRACTING

We hired Cadillac contracting to remodel our kitchen. We had used them first for a bathroom remodel which was done very well. The kitchen, hoever, turned out to be a nightmare. The original plans submitted had to be completely revised after the cabinet dealer advised that the plan could not work. After many sessions, the plan was revised and work begun. The workers were courteous and friendly, however they spent much time talking on their cell phones instead of working. When ther refrigerator was put in place, we found that the right French door would not open far enough to get the drawers out as it was too close to the wall. We were never warned of this ahead of time. When we demanded that the refrigerator be moved over, we were charged an additional $600 for the labor. When the cabinets were installed, we found a number of scratches that could not be hidden. When we asked that the ceramic tile floor be installed in an angle instead of being straight, we were charged additional depite nothing being said about this in the original contract. When the job was supposedly completed three months later, we found a number of areas that required repair or completion. It was difficult to get someone out to do these repairs. Then the worst began. About six months later, without having returned to complete the work, the tile floow began to come up. More and more tiles loosened. Matt Terlingo, owner of the company, eventually came in to look at the floor. He agreed it needed to be redone and scheduled this. He sent in a crew of young men who apparently did not know what they were doing. The floor, which continued into the hallway, foyer and powder room, was coming loose in many places, and these young men set to work taking the tile up. The did not cover anything, and with all the sanding of the sub-floor, our house was coated with dust, which we had to clean. When they came back to do the floor, they only re-installed the tiles that were loose, instead of the entire floor. These were done by another worker who we did not know, but was related to one of the regular workers. He put down the floor in the kitchen and bath incorrectly, and the tile almost immediately came loose again. At this point, I was told that Matt would have to report this to his liability carrier as he could not afford to re-do the entire floor. His carrier denied the claim, so we are now facing a kitchen with flooring that is loose, and a contractor who refuses to fix it. We have retained an attorney and will be filing suit against Cadillac Contracting. One other thing, after he cam the last time, he left tools and other items in my garage which are still there. He has made no attempt to contact us despite numerous phone calls. DO NOT USE THIS CONTRACTOR.

A previous remodel gave us an over sized powder room next to our kitchen. This company created a closet by constructing a wall between the powder room and potential closet area. I wanted the closet to store a vacuum cleaner, brooms, cleaning products, etc. in my kitchen area. The toilet was reset, a new vanity and sink and mirror were installed. (We supplied these items). A new ventilation fan was installed, also a light in the new closet and hallway. Our bath and cellar doors were replaced with 6 panel doors. They tore out an old ceramic and carpeted floor in the bathroom in preparation for another company to install new vinyl flooring that went in the bathroom and also throughout the kitchen. When the vinyl company completed its job, this company added trim and new baseboard where needed. They also installed new crown molding in my living room and dining room.
