Goliath Construction

The worse experience I ever had and I have been remodeling for two years. Again, most my money taken by Goliath Construction and not enough left to finish and correct the poor quality work. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AND WARN EVERYONE YOU KNOW Most of the electric and lighting was put in wrong place, the outlets and switches are crooked, the back splash not completed, the cabinet install not completed, windows not done but paid for, caulk and grout all over everything, cabinets not level and the doors are not even. Fireplace mantle not built but paid for, thin set all over the walls, they painted my ceiling the color of the walls and then told me I had to buy more paint to correct. It just goes on and on. The photos I submitted can not even show just how horrible the work is let alone they will not come back or fix any issues and they have most of the money.

Contract was accepted by me for Goliath Construction prepared by Gateway Design in May 2010. Work was to begin on June 14 2010 and completed by July 5 2010. I was to have my kitchen completely demolished and ready. I did so. Shortly after the demo, I was informed by Goliath that they could not do the job for that contract price. I was at their mercy since I had the kitchen demolished and had NO KITCHEN. I agreed tp the additional amount and another contract was done, I was requested to sign the contract but they always had an excuse not to give me a copy. Work did not start as promised and we were running out of time due to a big family affair I was having. One day a crew came in to do work. and the nightmare really started. Crew of tile installers, drywall, painters, electrician etc. The tile installer turned on my AC to below 70 degrees with a ceiling opened up and no protection of the rest of the home, The construction dust went through my entire home into every inch of everything plus the air went right out the open ceiling creating an electric bill of over $300.00. They also plugged my frig with food into a dead outlet spoiling all my food. The electrician made all kinds of excuses as to why he could not put the switches and outlets and lights where they were suppose to be. The floor tile had uneven grout lines and the grout was piled in areas and under grouted in other areas. The ceiling has holes for the can lights cut much larger than the light fixtures. The outlets and switches are crooked. The electrician hooked up my NEW stove and crosswired it causing it to break when I went to use it. The baseboard and trim have nail holes and not filled and sanded. The door was painted with the door knob on it and painted around it and got paint all over the weather stripping. Then I was told the windows they ordered that took three weeks to come in were damaged and they could not complete the job. I saw the windows and there was nothing wrong with them, it was an excuse to stop the job for a few weeks to do another one that paid them more money. Some rich guy per the owner of Goliath Construction and another job that was big money since it was an insurance job. I begged them to get the job done and done right. In the meantime, they kept hounding me for more money. Being desperate to get the job done, I agreed to give them more money if they would agree to my concerns in writing and also put a re-start date and a completion date, That was done and it was agreed. That day came and went and NO ONE SHOWED UP OR CALLED. Now I have an incomplete job, out of pocket all money with exception of about $2500.00 and NO SHOW NO CALL. I guess I am BEAT and this company is licensed and insured. BIG DEAL. My kitchen is functional but that is all. I can not explain the horrible quality of work from this company as of now.
