Advantage 1, LLC

He did a great job. He very clean and works extremely well.

Although our initial contact with David V. Lignore Sr. started off on the right track, it turned out to be an unbelievably horrendous and emotionally disturbing project that we wouldn?t wish on anyone. We, like any other homeowner, expect the best from our contractors and this man failed our expectations by far. He was very difficult to correspond with, leaving us no choice but to email, text, and phone an abundance of times, and he allowed the project to go on a month after its expected completion date before finally LEAVING us with broken contracts and unfinished projects. He left our residence with the following: A. UNFINISHED KITCHEN CABINETRY THAT HAD NO DOORS, TRACKS OR SHELVES INSTALLED. B. DANGEROUSLY EXPOSED WIRING. C. DETACHED KITCHEN PLUMBING AND NO WORKING SINK WATER; IN THE PROCESS OF REMOVING OUR SINK, HE DISCARDED PARTS FOR THE SINK DISPOSAL, REQUIRING THE PURCHASE OF A NEW ONE. D: UNFINISHED KITCHEN BASEBOARDS, EVEN AFTER A NUMBER OF REQUESTS TO FIX THEM AND CORRECT THEIR ELECTRICAL OUTLETS. E. TWO UNCAPPED KITCHEN WINDOWS WITH THE WOOD EXPOSED TO THE RAIN AND ELEMENTS. ONE WINDOW REQUIRED THE MANUFACTURER TO COME OUT AND FIX IT SO IT WOULD WORK PROPERLY. F. LARGE AREAS OF UNPOURED CONCRETE SLABS LEAVING US TO PRECARIOUSLY WALK OVER WOODEN FREAMES AND STONE BASES. ONE WAS A WALKWAY 20 FEET LONG LEADING TO THE STREET, AND THE OTHER A 13' X 6' AREA OF A PATIO. G. NOTHING BUT AN UNSTABLE STAIRCASE LEADING TO THE MAIN HOUSE ENTRANCE BECAUSE THE DECK HAD BEEN REMOVED AND NOT REPLACED AS PER CONTRACT. G. A 200 FOOT LONG X 1 FOOT WIDE STRIP OF CONCRETE THAT STRECHED DOWN THE STREET PAST THREE OF OUR NEIGHBORS? DRIVEWAYS. IT HAS PARTIALLY FADED BUT REMAINS THERE TODAY A YEAR LATER MUCH TO OUR EMBARRASSMENT. HE TRIED TO BLAME THE SUBCONTRACTOR THAT HE HAD HIRED, BUT AFTER INVESTIGATION OF THE FACTS, THE SUBCONTRACTOR WAS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE AND LIGNORE DID NOTHING TO RECTIFY THIS AWFUL SITUATION. In addition, he subcontracted an electrician who refused to place light switches how and where we requested them. This was later corrected by an Angie's List electrician who happily and easily corrected the problems. Lignore's electrician yelled and cursed so loudly one day when we were not home that our neighbor fearfully rushed her two toddlers back into her house. She later told us that upon seeing us return home, she feared for our welfare. Please be aware that this kind of contractor- for-hire nightmare DOES happen. Our hope by submitting this report is that no member will ever have to go through an experience such as this one.
