Island Construction LLC

the staff were nice the sub contractors were good but it appeared that there where too many jobs in progress and not enough staff to handle them. they would show up on job for a couple of days then we would not see them for a week. if you want the work done with any kind of serious progress you may want to look around.

Contract was signed in June and is now December and is still not complete.They redid the pool tile 3 times the coping twice and the pavers 3 times. Screen is still not complete and have no hood on my outdoor kitchen. Owner says he will call me but never does. The pool finally looks OK and kitchen is fine if it had a hood which is required in CapeCoral. Now looking for someone to complete

very well

The above is how it went. However, I am still waiting for parts to fix a hurricane door and now hurricane season is here and I will need to reinforce the door should a hurricane hit my area. I guess in the end I wish this company had bought in the good ole USA

. I am very happy with the work they have done. They have painted ceilings, walls and tiled walls and floor. Moved all heavy furniture and put back where I wanted it.

Plans drafted and submitted by Island Construction (IC) for permit were inaccurate (width of family room off by more than a foot and windows were positioned in wrong places). IC then attempted to charge me an additional $995.00 to effect a workaround solution so that the job could procede.. (I got another contractor to do the necessary work for $350.00). IC assigned the contract to a subcontractor who, as I later found out, was unlicensed and whose primary business was painting, cleaning and landscaping. No supervision was provided by Island Construction while the work was ongoing and the job was badly botched:: a. Windows grossly out of square -- did not pass initial inspection b. Gap of approximately 1/4 " left between baseboard and drywall of interior wall. Drywall raised and uneven in serveral places. c. Bumps, blotches and other irregualrities left in stucco of exterior wall. Re-stuccoed area unsightly and plainly stood out from surrounding surface rather than blending in as promised. d. A gouge of 30" was made in the Dura-Brte finish of the pool deck where heavy equipment had be placed. Efforts to remedy the above were only partially successful and I am stuck with the poor results. Complaints to DBPR and local permitting authority concerning the quality of work, use of unlicensed contractor and shabby business practices of Island Construction are pending.

It was a total disaster. It was a horrible situation. They were very misleading. They gave us something that we really didn't want and we had signed this contract. I would definitely not recommend them to anyone based on our experience. It was terrible. They quoted us a price and then gave us something different. They came when they said they were going to come but they didn't do what they said they were going to do.

Island Construction visited to give us an estimate. They started out very high and continuously lowered it. We thought we had a good deal and signed. That is the last we saw of them. The work was all subcontracted. We got other estimates (too late) and found that we had contracted for about 30% more than other estimates. The subcontractor did a fair job but the sod about 2 feet each side of the drive was torn out to provide for changing the grade of the drive. When the job was finished, the sod was not replaced, nor was the grade smoothed with fill dirt. I called Island to complain and they said "We'll talk to the subcontractor and see what they will do." They brought about a half a cubic yard of fill and dumped it on the driveway. I had to buy another yard, fill the edges, buy sod and install the fill dirt and sod myself. I only saw an employee of Island one time, that is when they gave me the estimate. The subcontractor even did the collection for them. If anyone else deals with them, you need to get additional estimates before you sign as wall as determine who will actually do the work. I have the impression that they subcontract most of their work. I would not deal with them again.

A salesman representing Island Construction Company visited us in mid-April to see if there were any construction or maintenance needs we had for the house. Another salesman visited us on April 24th and we decided then to proceed with the screen and door enclosure. He told us they had a book of screen doors for us to choose from as we stated we did not really want a typical metal one that everyone else had. He said they would be back to measure the opening and install the screen and door within the next two or three weeks. Apparently the salesman took two weeks to even turn in the order to the installers, as the person who took the measurements said the ticket was dated May 6th (?). We explained to him we were told he would have various options for us to choose from for a door. He then showed us a one page sheet with six styles of doors on it and said that was all they offered. The person at the office we talked to then said that it would now be a few more weeks while the door was ordered and delivered. We were very clear we did not like the choices available. At this point we expressed dissatisfaction with what was occurring but did not want to start all over again. But no one throughout this whole experience would pay attention when we tried to explain what kind of door we wanted and didn t want. Two weeks later we called to find out the status of our screen and door as this was taking way too long for a simple and minor construction job. We were told the door was not in yet. At this time we told their representative we wanted our money back. She passed our concern on to the owner, who called back later that day (found out late it was not really the owner). He explained the salesman was fired and several other reasons that the job wasn t started yet. Against our better judgment, we decided to continue waiting for them to finish the job. An installer finally showed up Friday, June 6 to install the screen and door. He told us it was his last day with the company and he didn t know how far he would get. He then looked the job over and decided he did not have the right materials based on the other persons measurements. So he left for about two hours to get more materials. We left the house for a while and he was gone when we came back. The job was far from finished. The following Monday (June 9) another person showed up to finish the job. He stated the first person did not install the frame correctly and so he tore it out and pretty much started over again. He did a very nice job with the frame and screen installation. However, he did install the door inside out, so the part that is supposed to be visible to the visitors was on the inside and their view is of the spline and backside of the door. We did not notice this until someone pointed it out to us a few days later. We will not use them again and do not recommend this company.
