SPSP & Contracting

Ed Venegas and his entire crew did a fantastic job building our new deck. They were very professional in every aspect of the project. I had a basic plan and idea of how I wanted it to look like and they made suggestions along the way at what the thought would work and look better and I could not be any happier with the final project. They were very competitive with their pricing and very efficient in completing my project within the time frame that was given to me. I would and have hired them to paint my house.

This should have been a 1-week project if it had been handled and planned by professionals and if two people had worked on it 8 hours a day. It took more than 5 weeks with people showing up at my house either late or never. The main guy would stay for no more than 2 hours tops, but mostly just a few minutes and then disappear. They had a tile person who showed up 3 times for approximately 2 to 3 hours and then left without saying anything. I had told them how I wanted the tiles around my tub arranged and they did the opposite. Same is true with the tiles on the floor, I wanted a slim gap between the tiles with black grouting, they left no gap whatsoever. There were extremely uneven areas on the bathroom walls that needed some minor cosmetic and very fast fix, but they said that wasn't part of the bathroom remodel. They flooded my bathroom twice and did not replace the vanity that was practically destroyed. I had noticed the floor of the vanity was ruined and they replaced it with rough wood, but I had not noticed that the side wall of it was ruined as well until a day after they announced it all done and got paid. They put 2 chips into my large mirror which I had also not noticed until the next day when we had daylight again. And this whole nightmare took over 5 weeks. Oh, they also got glossy paint for my bathroom walls which is not what the original paint was and which is not what I told them I wanted. And to top it off, I had shown them a sample of color and type of paint (on a door frame, also, the original baseboards weren't matt, they were semi-gloss) that I wanted them to use on the floor boards, but they decided to go with the right color, not the right type of paint, they used flat. Flat on the floor boards, flat on the wood topping of the small room divider. In other words, what could go wrong went wrong and in the end they never had the decency to offer me a discount. Over five weeks of ****. Dust, grout, and paint everywhere and one excuse after another. I don't know whether they thought they can do this to me because I am an older woman or whether this is just pure incompetence, indifference, or laziness. After all, no one ever worked a full day on this project. Considering that my master bathroom is not very large and my bedroom, which they only tiled and from which they removed old, but still like new baseboards and then replaced with new baseboards, should have taken no more than 1 week. I need to have that mirror replaced, God only knows what the wall behind it looks like. Oh, I almost forgot, the person who installed the baseboards forgot to install 2 pieces, both instances a small piece of baseboard next to doors and one larger piece in the bedroom, next to a door as well, was cut about 1 inch to short, the same is true for the baseboard in my walk-in closet. They had also removed and thrown away all my door stoppers and never bothered to replace them. The job was not done professionally and because they were so messy and dirty, my new tile floor is ruined. It's a flat, black tile and even though one of them had mobbed the floor several times on the day they called it all done, you can see rings from buckets and even rectangular containers as well as drops and splashes of something. I have tried in a small area to get rid of these weird marks, but to no avail. Also, they never watched out to keep my bedroom walls clean. My goodness, splashes of grouting or mud, and smears etc. Painting the bedroom walls was not in our contract, but considering the damage they caused and the stress of this for over 5 weeks, they could have at least offered to do that, but then again, who knows what the damage would have been then. No, I would not ever recommend this company. It has been my experience that in Texas you simply cannot find a decent, honest, and competent contractor for anything. They all promise to be the professionals, to be different than those who make those empty promises. It's all a lie. I have tried so many different contractors for so many different projects in the last 15 years and every time I lost money and time and ended up having to redo things myself or just tear what they did down. In my experience, there are no honest and competent contractors in this area of the country. And when I told coworkers of having had nothing but problems with contractors, they said they had the same experience. So, it's not just me. Well, I wrote the truth about SPS & Contracting to ensure no one else fall victim to their scam, especially women. These guys my not dare to do to men customers what they did to me.
