Michael Zeman

We hired Michael Zeman to remodel our kitchen. We paid several thousand dollars for the remodel and the pictures below is how the floor was left. The floor started coming apart within a week. There was also a garbage disposal Installed that backed up the first time we used it. The damages pictured below was due to water damage (per his own diagnosis) and an improper install. I had to pay someone else an additional $350 to fix the garbage disposal. Part of the job was leaving the subfloor. This was done by using a can of liquid nails. When I (someone who knows absolutely nothing about construction) recommended the self leveling stuff he said “I hate that stuff and it’s messy”. So needless to say no leveling was done. If you know anything about this type of flooring you know it is meant to float and move by contracting and expanding. The liquid nails glued it in place creating a ripple affect breaking apart at the seams all thoughout the kitchen. In addition to the water damage. It took a month and a half to get him to even come out and look at it. He started other jobs and said he was too busy. From the beginning of the discussion of the issues and repair all he did was fight and argue. He blamed us and blamed the product. He talked to my husband and said “you know I can tell you to f*** off right and just hang up the phone”. He finally offered to rip the flooring up and a $250 refund. It is going to cost roughly $2500 for materials and labor to have someone else come In and fix it. All we wanted was for him to fairly rectify the issue he created either by replacing the flooring himself or to cover what it would cost for the materials and cost for someone else to do it which he refused. This was such a negative, stressful and unprofessional experience. I am writing this review to hopefully save others the stress and money we wasted that we now have to pay someone else to come fix his mistakes.
