Kitchen and Bath Renovations

Conserve your finances, sanity, energy, health and trust in people. Kitchen & Bath Renovations (KBR) ruined my dream house and turned it into a daily nightmare! We invested almost all our retirement savings into a house remodel that we designed to accommodate our needs as we age. However, this small house remodel of approximately 850 square feet with a 150 square foot addition took eight months (twice as long as originally promised) before the contractor said that it was habitable. This neglected the contracted work that it took us another month to complete after we fired the contractor. Kitchen & Bath Renovations should be stripped of every opportunity to persuade anyone that they are competent to build anything. KBR failed to comply with the terms of our contract to build our dream home. They exhibited poor management, communications, mathematics, comprehension, execution, supervision, time estimation and lack of adequate experience. This is particularly true in their granite work, and floor and tile installation. The granite slabs in both of our bathrooms were cracked and chipped, and were cut and installed without the consideration necessary to bring out the quality and design in the stone. Our kitchen counter slab was cut with large gaps on each side of the cook top and also along the edges of the cabinets. (These slabs came from Brazilian Exotic Marble and after the contractor had added his percentage they cost us an arm and a leg). Kitchen & Bath Renovations improperly installed our Original Wood floor (approximately 900 Square feet), and then proceeded to damage over 20% of the floor during subsequent work on the bathrooms. KBR then refused to replace the floor as required by our contract. We now have a laminated wood floor, which is not what we had hoped for, but which we had to settle for. The base tile was not installed per our instructions, resulting in inconsistencies in base tile between various rooms. Also there are gaps in places where pieces of the wainscot and granite are missing. During the eight months that KBR took to do this work, the contractor was on site a maximum of only 60 hours. From November 2010 until July 2011 we provided a livelihood for Kitchen & Bath Renovations and in return I have nothing positive to say about Kitchen & Bath Renovations or his trabajadores
