The overall workmanship was OK, except that the hall bath granite counter top was too short and it resulted in the drain stopped could not be moved. At least they didnt leak. The master shower is now leaking and no one response to multiple calls or emails. They were responsive when asking for money. I was more than fair with their terms. Nation-wide is probably out of business. They sold their exterminating business and have changed their 800 number which was very strange. I am quite disappointed that when someone who gives them a significant amount of business calls to get them to repair a problem they caused, that they don't respond. I also called the person who did the work didn't respond either. If you see them at a home improvement show, make sure you ignore them. This is not a group you want to do business with.
Description of Work: I contracted with Brad Cohen from Nation-wide to do a master bath conversion to a shower and complete renovation as well as a renovation of a hall bath room, including a new tub and sinks. I believe that the price was ok, not the lowest or highest.

After a rocky start Nation Wide got started. My bathroom is very small and only one man could work in it. Larry is a great guy. He kept me informed about what he was doing. Took longer than I though it would but the results are beautiful. I love my new bathroom. It's perfect for me.

Description of Work: Just to be clear, this is Nationwide Building and Remodeling which is a division of Nationwide Pest Control. They checked for termite damage while we were doing some remodeling and found some old damaged wood that they recommended replacng. They also replaced the front door frame and installed a new front door. The people they use are just handymen. The first man put holes in our bedroom trying to repair a piece of wood even though we told him this might happen and not to do it. They had to bring in a second guy to fix the first guy's mistakes (again, a handyman). The sales person was just looking for more problems and was only concerned about getting paid. Seemed nice and helpful at the start but then turned bad real quickly. Would not recommend them for these services and am starting to doubt their pest control services as well. They have not honored a committment made by their sales rep about a booster for my termite control. We are looking into other options at this point.

I haven't had anymore services from them as of yet. At some point we may have some preventative services for pest control, but at this point they have performed a free termite inspection and didn't find anything.

It was not a good experience. The project took twice as long as anticipated, not including the weeks waiting for a different person to finish the job because the first guy had done such a bad job. The job was extremely sloppy and had some bigger problems too. We ended up with water leaking through our ceiling because pipes were not capped and hooked up correctly. That was after two previous re-dos after mix ups with hooking up hot and cold water and hooking up the shower correctly. The aesthetic details were extremely sloppy. Even after multiple, specific instructions to fix things, things were not done too well. In addition, we didn't feel the worker was even be honest with us about his work and the materials. Materials were not purchased when they should have been, which delayed the job and gave us more work in the end. The worker worked only half days for the first week and a half of the project and then finally started sweating it and spending more time, but making a bunch of mistakes that then were a real headache to fix. We were very unhappy and would never use this company again. The manager was more interested in defending his worker than supporting us as clients. He was very unprofessional to work with. He was very nice and talked the talk all up until the moment that we handed over the first check. After that, he was very unpleasant to work with.

I have used them for over 20 years and they are good. They are a good pest control service. Originally when I bought the house there were termites and they treated it to get rid of the termites so I could buy the house. They have come back every year for 20 years to inspect. Occasionally they treat for ants and stuff like that. The past year they re-treated for termites again. I did not have termites, but they thought it might need it after 20 years. I have not seen any termites.
Description of Work: I use Nation-Wide Services for pest control, including termite control.

1. The skylight replacement was done over two days. It rained heavily during the evening after the first day, at which time we found out that the skylights were not weatherproofed. Water was pouring into the house, and we spent an evening trying to soak it up. Door frames and wood flooring warped, and drywall was ruined. Nationwide did a good job replacing the damaged drywall and repairing the doorframe. Eventually, the wood flooring unwarped. 2. The replacement of the wood floors was done reasonably well. There were a few spots where the drywall was damaged during the process, which Nationwide repaired. 3. The painting was of poor quality. Although the painters were very nice, we found many instances of skips, pinholes, unfinished areas, and poor lines between wall and ceiling. There were many paint drops that were either poorly cleaned up or not cleaned up at all. During the removal of paneling, an existing wood floor was damaged and poorly repaired. When we provided our punch list to Nationwide, they responded that they had never seen a list so long. They further said that they would never be able to satisfy us, and implied that we were being too picky, despite their statement at the outset that they wanted to make us happy. Eventually, we settled for fixing most of the minor issues ourselves, and Nationwide discounted the final price.
Description of Work: Nationwide replaced wood flooring and performed interior painting throughout the house. One room required the removal of paneling. They also replaced two skylights.

Response from Nation-Wide Services Inc
I will leave it up to the intelligent individuals here to decide if it is too picky to turn the lights off and scour the walls with lighted hats(like minors hats)in order to find imperfections in 40 year old drywall. The house was absolutely beautiful when we left it.

The overall experience was exceptional. The owners of the company were incredibly professional and down to earth. They took the time to explain everytjng that needed to be done, some things that I would not have thought of. The workmen themselves were exceptional as well. They took the time to answer all my questions in detail and were extremely professional and friendly. Again, paying attention to the smallest of details. Everyday they were on time and worked very cleanly. I have had experiences with three other contractors that turned out to be awful both in the workmanship and professionalism in dealing with my concerns. I will say that I did have a lower estimate than theirs but after checking references I felt comfortable with their quality of work. I can say that they took care of things that were never mentioned in the lower estimates that turned out to be essential. I can honestly say that Nationwide will be my go to contractor for all my remodeling needs in the future.
Description of Work: Nationwide took out two existing rooms that I had and created a beautiful family room and laundry room for me. I gave them the general idea of what I wanted and they went from there. Their exceptional knowledge and experience created a room with beautiful details and workmanship I would not have known to ask for. They also put up a beautiful new solid oak banister for my stairs.

I had checked out some other companies and they were the cheaper ones. I first paid them a deposit of $300 and the balance after the work was done. I had contacted a few of the big names in the business and some of them were really expensive. The other companies didn't mention doing the treatment around the shed which is also made of wood. I was pleased with how they mentioned to do more for a lesser price. They came out really promptly. I had found a swarm of termites in the front door and I called them and they came out within the day. They got it done really fast. I would use them again for termites. They also have a construction company and they have done some work for me.
Description of Work: I have used Nation-Wide Services for pest control and exterminating. I had them do a termite treatment because I had termites. They circled the whole house, the shed, and the sun porch and did the treatment.

I called their office and described what I thought was a flying ant problem. They actually listened and radioed to a technician who was in my area. He called me immediately and was at my front door within twenty minutes. Professional, Professional, Professional. No doubt, no second thoughts, no reason to shop.
Description of Work: Termite treatment. Arrived on time, explained in detail exactly what would be done. Their office staff was very attentive and actually cared what I was saying. I own several rental properties and have more experience than the average homeowner with this type of firm. These guys are "the real deal." I was more than impressed. excellent service, excellent value.
