We have contacted this customer and offered to redo the work and have not heard back from them. We called and left messages when this review was placed and have sent emails. We are only now getting to the point where we are able to take the time to post responses so we are doing that now. We appreciate his kindness of only giving us a "C", but what he describes (in our opinion) is more in line with an "F". This should not be worthy of a passing grade. There were issues with the preexisting framing that did create certain challenges, but a full functional failure, as he describes, is not worthy of excuses. We are not happy with this review and we are truly embarrassed if it is as bad as he describes. We have MANY perfect and wonderful bathroom remodels (including the one we have recently done for my grandmother) that deserve the J Wood name. We, coincidentally, use the idea "offer the product and do the work like you would for your grandmother" as one of our core principals. We believe that if you always do that, you will never lead a customer astray nor complete the work poorly. We had issues with the drainage of the custom pan on this customer's project and we did have to redo the slope. At that time, after the pan was redone, we asked the customer to verify it was to his expectations and satisfaction, and he agreed it was. He mentions the issue with the drainage in the review so we aren't sure if he is still not happy with it or not,... He may just be pointing out that we did fix it to his satisfaction without any argument or cost and that is why he is giving us the C instead of F, but that is just a guess. The shower wall where the door is that was installed prior to our working on the project had not been properly reinforced and we did have to build up the supports to (what we believed) would allow for the new door to be secure. The glass we use is a professional 3/8" tempered, custom cut and fired piece that is pretty hefty. Since we weren't doing framing work, we weren't in a position with the project as it was quoted to get too far into the secondary layers of the wall and apparently it was worse than we thought. The use of shims to square and build up voids and anchors to secure larger weights and hinges in woodworking is common and is not initially a concern, so we aren't sure if that was just an observation on the customer's part or a criticism. This is just the info as we have it in our project notes and is not offered as an excuse. It failed so obviously it wasn't properly secured. We have no record of any concerns voiced by the customer in regards to the medallion inlay location, nor did we know of any other issues in the hinge placement, silicone application, or anything else when the project was completed. We aren't sure if he mentioned that at the time and we fixed it or if these are items that were never mentioned and we simply weren't aware of the issues to be able to fix them. As we would have offered at that time, and as we STILL OFFER TODAY, we will happily fix these concerns if they are willing to allow us to do so. We have no desire to provide less than what was agreed upon. As for the failure to have the Team arrive at the appointment to fix these items (which is mentioned in the review and is ABSOLUTELY true), we are truly very sorry. We do, however, have an excuse that we are going to provide because it too is ABSOLUTELY true and may allow those reading this to understand the circumstances of how that appointment was missed. The customer called Jose on his cell phone while Jose was driving. The customer didn't contact the store; he didn't send any form of digital or written correspondence (no email, no text). Jose, being very concerned about the failure, told the customer a date and time in the following couple of days and then made a note on one of his folders. Within the next hour, and before Jose was able to relay that info to the store, Jose received news that his youngest son was potentially very ill and was hospitalized in NYC and he would need to get there as quickly as he could due to the potential severity of the illness. Within 5 hours Jose was on a plane. The appointment was never conveyed to anyone at the showroom, where everything is scheduled. Thankfully, Jose's son was not as gravely ill as originally thought and was able to make a significant recovery, and everything returned to normal within a couple of days so Jose flew home to Charlotte. The appointment is now completely forgotten and that folder is shuffled into the rest of Jose's docs, not to resurface in time to be able to stop the now inevitable missed appointment. The "final straw", as the customer states, came when the day and time of the appointment arrived and the customer (understandably upset) calls Jose's cell phone and inquires to where the Team is to fix the problem. Jose is stunned. He now instantly remembers and is extremely apologetic and tries, literally begs, the customer to allow him to get it rescheduled but to no avail. Jose then calls the showroom and we try to get the customer to allow us to get it scheduled, but we never talk with him nor hear back in any form. We then get this review. We haven't heard back from the customer since. That is the absolute truth and we hope the customer reads this and understands we didn't dismiss him or take his appointment less seriously than we should. It was a unique situation and an unfortunate, but completely honest mistake. We appreciate that he writes we are "nice guys", we believe that this customer is a nice guy as well, but we ARE a bathroom remodel company. We have proven it many times, we just had one go bad and we (still) want to fix it. We have earned our reputation by offering value. "Value" is getting equal or more than what you pay for. J Wood Flooring doesn't offer cheap products or labor, we offer some of the (if not THE) best value in hard surface product and installation in Charlotte, the surrounding, and beyond. This review, as well as all the reviews we receive, are discussed, addressed, and incorporated. Every project we do we try to do better than the one we did previously. Jiro Ono, elder master sushi chef and 3 Michelin Star awarded restaurateur speaks of ultimate dedication to one's job: "Once you decide on your occupation," says Jiro, "you must immerse yourself in your work. You have to fall in love with your work. Never complain about your job. You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That's the secret of success and is the key to being regarded honorably." Collectively, the J Wood Team has over 110 years of experience working on getting better with each job we do. We will never say we are perfect, but we will always say we will make it as close to perfect as we can do and we will try to do it better each time. We believe what we do matters, we are proud of our work, and we want to be known for what we have done. Our passion is in all hard surfaces, not just wood flooring as our name suggests. We hope this customer will contact us and allow us to make good on our commitment. Thank you for giving J Wood Flooring the opportunity to earn your business!
