Get matched with top porcelain refinishing pros in Fort Myers Beach, FL

"Updated review 6/6/2019: In reply to my posting on Angie's List, Fixation said I was unrealistic and unreasonable. I actually was a client that wanted the work done that I had contracted for, the work done correctly, professionally and timely. I got none of those things, so I want to make sure others know exactly what happened to me so they don't ever have to go through it. 1. Fixation abandoned the job halfway through owing the owner (me) money and leaving behind shoddy workmanship, as well as removing lumber paid for by me (video available.) They took over an entire year just to get to the halfway point. (photos included of current state of job). 2. A lack of supervision/oversight on the job caused water to pour in 8 places into my home, which was less than one year old at the time. This caused damage to the ceiling and wall sheet rock, which Fixation never repaired. I contacted Fixation via text while the rain was pouring into my new home from the ceiling and received a call and was yelled at because "he was at church with his family." 3. The foundation failed inspection due to missing footings, heavy wire mesh, and 6 mil plastic. 4. The entire tie beam was poured 2 1/2" too tall and had to be cut off. 5. The brick support beams blew over in the wind and had to be re-built. 6. Window openings were not made to the size specified on the plans. 7. Fixation used foil dryer vent hose instead of sheet metal pipe to go up through attic to roof vents which is not code and is a fire hazard. His "plumber" wanted to vent the dryer into the attic. That is certainly not code, especially in SW Florida. 8. I paid Fixation for 12 (10 double, 2 single) windows last Nov. and was told in Feb. by the carpenter that all windows were too big for the openings. Fixation also ordered the wrong type of windows to begin with...the kind with flanges that are for new wood construction, not block. 9. Fixation had trusses delivered into the dirt which sat out for months getting moldy. Information on trusses said if stored beyond a week on ground, trusses should be put up on wood blocks. They stayed in the dirt. 10. Plywood was delivered way too early and sat on the ground for months with a light piece of plastic over it. The plastic blew all around and it definitely got wet. Fixation could have cared less whether or not it was covered. Why would you order plywood months in advance only for it to sit out in the weather when you can have it delivered in a day or two when ready for it? 11. Two doors were installed but only one works. 12. Two separate end windows were installed and neither opens properly. The flanges were sliced off in chunks to fit into the opening. 13. Fixation had the subs (carpenter and electricians) come out to do their job, and when they arrived, the job wasn't ready for them. There was no supervision or oversight. 14. Fixation also left a large garbage pile on the empty lot next door which required me to have it removed despite their claim of "white glove service". I had to clean up all the debris left around the foundation because Fixation didn't. 15. I asked several times for the 5% Angie's List coupon discount offered, but my question was always ignored. 16. Be wary of being told your job was bid at no profit....you might find on the permit the value of the job to be $10k less than quoted, as I did. 17. There were many other mistakes and problems due to lack of supervision and oversight. I am posting all of this because I hope others don't have to go through the same problems that I did. Don't just trust Angie's List reviews and make the same mistake I did. Do your homework (before signing anything) on the Lee County Gov website where you can look up a variety of records on a person.....all kinds of records. Demand a specified time frame for job start & completion. Ask for back-up receipts from sub-contractors to justify the charges on the bills. When I asked for them, I was told, "you're not going to micro manage me." Watch for the same items being billed on more than one invoice. When I saw something on a new invoice I had already paid for and pointed it out, Fixation then just changed the wording on the new invoice which somehow magically changed the price. Ask for a detailed contract with specified amounts for each part of the project. Be wary of any mention of doing projects for Veterans at no-profit, and "white glove service". I had to remind Fixation that I too am a Vietnam Veteran with a service-connected disability. And there's also a 10% senior citizen discount Fixation offers on Angie's List, never got that either. So, while he may have thought me unreasonable and unrealistic, I believe Fixation does not provide the type of service they sell with their words. I am left with a job half done. I haven't been unreasonable and unrealistic. I have been beyond patient after waiting over an entire year and the job still isn't done. I have been pushed to the point of frustration, anger, and disbelief. Now I'm left to deal with a job half way completed and some of the work that is done, is not up to code or operational."

"Recommended by a friend. Just moved here from Washington and decided that some rooms could use some new paint. Casey helped me out with extreme professionalism and really nailed the color selection that we were looking for. The painting process was incredibly seamless and painless, the rooms look great. If anyone asks me for interior painters I’m definitely sending them to HR Drywall and painting. Thanks again Casey and the crew ~Jeb"

"I highly recommend Percision aluminum and remodeling. Excellent service."

"We were extremely pleased with the quality and design creativity of the work of Creative Custom Carpentry of SWFL. Frank designed a custom shoe shelf that was a wonderful idea to complement a complete staircase resurfacing and design, in which he replaced our old worn carpet on the stairs with a perfect woodgrain shade of laminate steps with trim molding. It looks fantastic! He uses high quality materials and superior quality workmanship. We are glad that we chose Creative Custom Carpentry of SWFL."

"As well as can be expected. Normal city inspection delays,material shortages.Patrick found a way."

"They were absolutely excellent! Timely, personable, they went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. I would use them all the time for any home remodeling needs. They do it all."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Lacie and Mike from S&W Kitchens in South Tampa on a bathroom project, and we cannot express enough how impressed we were with their combined talents and professionalism. Lacie's design skills are truly exceptional. She transformed our initial bathroom concept into visually appealing results that exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was Lacie's extraordinary patience with us during the initial design process. As we deliberated over various options and changed our minds numerous times, she remained consistently supportive and understanding, never rushing us as we worked to finalize our vision. Her creativity, paired with her ability to understand exactly what we were looking for, made the design process very smooth. As for Mike, his project management skills were outstanding, especially when faced with significant challenges. Despite our bathroom renovation being delayed by two hurricanes, Mike kept everything as organized as possible, and his calm demeanor kept the project moving forward. Lacie and Mike’s collaborative approach at S&W Kitchens created a perfect balance, even when Mother Nature had other plans. They demonstrated remarkable resilience and commitment to quality despite the weather-related setbacks. We would not hesitate to work with S&W Kitchens, especially Lacie and Mike, again, and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier bathroom renovation."
