Started out well. Gentlemen was on time and completed the work as promised. Tub looked good, BUT.. Only after 2 months, the tub started bubbling and pealing. Any attempts to reach Rick for warranty fixes were not successful (multiple phone calls with messages and emails). As it stands today, this was a complete waste of our money since we will need to hire someone else to redo the job. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

Rick arrived promptly, surveyed what had to be done, and did an excellent job.  He had to chemically clean/remove the old refinish as it was peeling & in very bad shape before he could apply the new finish.  He explained how to care for the tub, and when it could be used (curing time).  He also left written information concerning what cleaning products to use & to avoid, and other information on how to care for the surface to prolong it's finish.  The tub and the window sills look great, and I could not be more pleased.

 The job done was sloppy & looked liked paint that had run.  The surface of the tub feels like sandpaper.  Called them to fix it - they came back on 7/12/11 - the job was worse than the first time.  Called them to come back and fix it right and to send a different person out.  Shannon told me that they only have one person who does residental - Rick - she told me that she heard Rick complain about a part on the sprayer needing fixed.  We rescheduled for 7/23/11 but I had to cancel (left message) & asked to be called back for a date to finish the tub correctly.  As of this date 8/16/2011 I have not had a returned call from this company.  I have called almost daily leaving messages for them to call me back.  I would never recommend this company to anyone!
Response from AKL Resurfacing
"This client's complaints were completely satisfied last year. We were unaware that this complaint was still up here at this site. She was contacted and consulted and agreed to have the repair work completed at a later time due to the adverse weather conditions at that time. She was recontacted at the agreed upon time and her work was completed and full explanation given to her as to why her coatings had failed (due to negligence on one of her family member's part to not follow post-refinishing instructions after having been clearly stated to him and not having a cleaned area where the work was completed). She stated that she was now satisfied with the results. Dust is every refinisher's worst enemy and our company does everything we can to educate every consumer as to the reasons why and how to avoid it. She stated at that time that she would be amending this review and this was October of 2011. She was contacted again by us last month, May, 2012, asking her to please take the time to amend this and it has not been done yet. We have satisfied this complaint and have done all we are able to ask for it to be reflected in the review, to no avail."

AKL did a great job. I called in the morning just to see if they do bathtubs and they had a technician out that afternoon. I was given an estimate over the phone and that's exactly what I payed. The technician was prompt, courteous, and quick. He made sure I was happy with the repair. They did a perfect match on the tub. No one will be able to tell there was a hole there. I am very satisfied.
