read above story. It is too painful to type again. Please Beware!!!

This remodeling experience was very disappointing. Low quality materials were used, and he used subcontractors that were not prepared. I gave the subcontractors some lumber to work on projects, such as leveling sink tops, etc... I had a written estimate prior to the remodel. One part of the written estimate, which I didn't understand, was a final walk-through of the remodel project by a third party, which would cost about $300-$400. In the end, they didn't have a final walk-through performed by an outside party, so once I brought this to their attention they did remove this cost from the invoice. The tile workers did not have enough tile to finish the project, which caused a delay. They were not informed what design pattern was to be used in the shower or the back splash above the tub. I explained the pattern to them, but the tile we were using was not suitable for the pattern I wanted. We ended up using some extra leftover tile from previous jobs laying around my house. I didn't feel it was my job to explain the pattern of the tile to the workers, and it should have been the construction's responsibility. The job finally was finished, but overall I am greatly disappointed. They used caulk to fill in gaps for uneven edges behind the sink. The jetted tub bends when you sit on the edge. I budgeted about $3000-$4000 for a new jetted tub. The tub I originally picked out was not available within the time frame of the remodel, so I had to go back to the tub provider and chose a different tub. I feel my secondary tub that was chosen is a lower quality than the original tub picked out. I told T A Todd about my displeasure with the job and that I felt most of the $15,000 went toward salaries and not toward products installed in my bathroom. I ran into the owner in my neighborhood a few months later, and told the owner of my displeasure. He and his son came over to my home later that day to look at the job. He asked what I thought he should do, and I told him to do what he thought was right. There were supposed to be warranties associated with the work, but obviously this is not being recognized. They have not contacted me since coming to see the work in my home. The owner and son were never on site; from time to time the site supervisor would drop by for an hour and then take off to check on another job at another site. Overall I felt communication and follow through was lacking on this remodel project. No one wanted to take responsibility for lack of materials or materials arriving late.
