Description of Work: Complete basement remodel

Description of Work: They installed my pre-finished hardwood floors from Lumber Liquidators. My contractor sub-contracted these people because they were HIGHLY recommended. I happened to meet the manager on the day they first came out and his motto was "Do the Job Right the First Time". He said all the right words for me to walk away and let him install my hardwood. The 1st 2 rooms they did were the master and study rooms. They were a little off, but we were willing to let these go as long as they didn't make the similar mistakes in the living/dining/foyer area. They put too many white colored boards (this is walnut) adjacent to each other in the middle of the room and they put the ends of the boards to close to each other. There is supposed to be a minimum of a 6" offset between the ends of adjacent boards. It voids Lumber Liquidator's 100 year warranty to have adjacent boards offset less than 6" on either end. The hallway/foyer/living/dining room area was next and they made it even worse. Nearly every board was offset less than 6" and they used boards that were defective and should have been returned. They even installed hardwood where cabinets were supposed to go and then ripped the hardwood back out once they figured out nothing supposed to go there and no reimbursement was offered for the wood they destroyed. Days later my wife and come to inspect the job and it became more and more obvious of how horrible the work was. We called our contractor and he set up an appointment for the Manager at J&D to come out and review the issues we were having with his installation. The guy refused to accept that the installation was out of spec. My contractor pulled up Lumber Liquidator's installation specifications and it explained in great detail what was acceptable and what would void the warranty. Everything this guy did to my floor voided the 100 year warranty from Lumber Liquidators. When my contractor tried to explain to him that his installation voided my warranty he WENT OFF!! The guy blamed me for the problems! He put his poor workmanship off on me. Then as the guy left my house he spit on me. I even warned him he was on camera. I have video surveillance of my entire property with emphasis on the front entry. He didn't seam to care that I might press charges. Spitting on someone is a chargeable offense. | | I personally spent 2 weeks removing EACH BOARD his crew installed with an oscillating saw (to cut the staples off) to salvage as much as possible. It cost me $200.00 just in tools and saw blades and nearly 80 hours of my labor. I get paid $45/hr so that's $3,600.00 in labor and another $200.00 in tools. I had to SKIP CHRISTMAS with the family/parents to get this done so the next contractor could come in on his NEW YEARS holiday break and reinstall the hardwood I just removed! | |My contractor still had to purchase about 10 NEW BOXES to make up for the wood J&D destroyed, the boards I destroyed, and the boards a previous installer had stolen. He also was stuck with paying extra for the services both contractors did even though the first contractor had botched the job. | |That's not all! In the master bedroom downstairs the floor started buckling! The new installer inspected the situation and the problem was multi-issued. Besides the offsets of the adjacent boards being less than 6", the boards were nailed too tight together (no room for expansion), and the butted the perimeter boards directly up against the sheetrock!! This meant there was ZERO room for expansion and there was a 100% guarantee the floor was going to buckle. At that point ALL OF THE BASEBOARDS had to be ripped out of the house so they could take a say and cut clearances between the outside boards and the wall to allow for expansion and contraction. | |We are still having problems today as I write this. More boards are buckling as the humidity goes up in our house (summer time).

Description of Work: Complete master bath remodel labor and some materials and hot water heater installed

Description of Work: Complete remodel of master bath. Had a few issues but they responded quickly and professionally. I purchased the non-building materials (faucets, countertop, paint, tile, etc.). Which made it easier for me since I knew the items were available when needed. I would recommend staying in touch with them to insure you understand what is being done (not just this contractor but all) to insure you are on the same page. I would recommend this company.

Description of Work: I thoroughly enjoyed working with the very professional staff of J & D. Their workmanship is excellent and they were always responsive to my needs and concerns. As a result, my family and I are enjoying a beautifully remodeled kitchen with the bay window and banquettes I always wanted. I would definitely use them again.

Description of Work: David and Ken came to my house yesterday to meet with me to see what I wanted done to remodel my bathroom. They were very friendly and arrived earlier than our appointment. They will get back to me sometime next week with an estimate! So far so good.

Description of Work: I purchased a design consult with a rough draft. |The two men arrived and were on time, both very nice and professional. I explained that I was trying to update my master bath on a small budget and wanted to definitely install a glass enclosure for the shower. We spoke about counter tops, mirrors and possible tub replacement. They verbalized rough costs of some items but said that they would email me an actual estimate. About a month later, I received a Price List for a total high end remodel, including everything you could imagine. |I guess this may be what others want, but I was pretty specific as to my pretty basic remodel plan. I feel that I wasted $49.00. I hate that they wasted their time to do this consult, if they were just going to send me a price list in the end. I expected an estimate for the cost of doing the things we spoke of and was disappointed with what I received. I didn't receive a rough draft drawing of their idea for the remodel-update of my master bath. The approximate cost at the bottom of the email was $14,000. I decided to keep looking for a contractor that was a better fit to my needs and finances. I wish them luck in the future.
