This has been the most disappointing, surprisingly uncomfortable experience. We are trying to remain hopeful that an amicable solution can be reached.
Description of Work: Working with this company has been a terrible experience. We were so optimistic about the referral and only mildly disappointed last Monday when Mr. Jordan showed up with a bathroom plan that included a tub instead of a shower as we had asked for in an email with pictures of the shower door and shower. Mr. Jordon had never seen the bathroom before entering the contract and in response to his New Client Questionnaire’s request for “specific requirements for your space or any further details” we had referred to the emailed pictures of the shower. Finally, the contract acknowledged Mr. Jordan needed only “finalize the designs that the Owner has already started.” Upon leaving our house last Monday, we asked Mr. Jordan to factor in the shower and let us know the difference, if any, in the estimated construction price. He replied quickly that it would be an additional $2000 to $4000, explained why, and noted that moving the drain could be an additional cost on top of that. In order to proceed wisely, we asked him to give us some time to talk about it and not to do any further work. We then spoke with Mr. Jordan about our concern and inquired about starting the process from scratch. He asked that we reduce our request to writing so that he could forward it to his attorney. We did so and in accordance with the contract terms, issued him a cure notice for failure to comply with the terms of the contract. His attorney disagreed and sent us a bill that asserted we owed Mr. Jordon $220 more than our $3,600 retainer fee for his services and for terminating the contract. We have responded with a notice that we are terminating the contract for his failure to proceed in accordance with its terms and have initiated an alternate dispute resolution process through Angie’s list, a company that has been extremely helpful under the circumstances. After our first post, Mr. Jordan’s attorney contacted us regarding what they considered were “false, misleading and defamatory” statements within our initial post and demanded that we retract the entire post or Mr. Jordan would pursue legal action to obtain relief for damages caused by the defamatory statement. Although we disagree that the statements were defamatory, we have amended our entry to remove the statements that gave Mr. Jordan concern and have resubmitted this factual recounting. We have never filed a negative complaint about any contractor or business before.

Response from Jordan Design-Build Group
Jordan Design-Build Group was retained to perform design services to the customers for the renovation of a hall bathroom. On the New Client Questionnaire, the customers represented that they did not want to modify any layout or floor plan of the existing bathroom that contained an existing tub/shower. Along with the New Client Questionnaire they submitted numerous inspiration images of bathroom schemes they liked but there was no specific statement about removing a tub/shower and replacing it with a stand alone custom shower. At the preliminary design meeting, the customers again did not mention that they wanted to replace the tub/shower with a custom shower. Based on the previous communications and meeting, our Architect and Interior Designer prepared design drawings, elevations and portfolio images for the bathroom including proposed floor tile designs, new tub and tile surround, vanity design, and the selection of many other materials and fixtures. These design drawings and documents were presented at a second design meeting where one of the customers apologized profusely for the miscommunication indicating for the first time that she wanted to install a custom shower rather than a tub/shower configuration. That fact had not been communicated to our firm in the prior design meeting. We immediately informed the customer that a custom shower may be more expensive to construct depending on the choice of materials and may require some modification to the existing drain lines (which were not visible and thus unknown) to comply with the building code. Jordan Design-Build Group offered to have its plumber investigate the drain size at no additional cost to the customer and was willing to continue with the design phase of the project providing designs for a custom shower. The customers did not want to continue with the project and their response was clear and direct stating that Jordan Design-Build Group should discontinue all work, that they wanted to terminate the agreement and start the whole process over again, in other words they wanted to hire someone else. Later they claimed that Jordan Design-Build Group was in breach of the contract. We strongly disagree with that position. Our company performed substantial design services and expended numerous hours working on the customer’s project through the time that the work was placed on a stop order and was always willing to design the custom shower as part of the project for the client. Jordan Design-Build did not send (nor did our attorney) the customer a bill for $220 as claimed in the customer’s post.

I had a leaky water pipe due to some corrosion. I talked to Dave yesterday. Unlike others that demand to have their staff to come and look at the problem before giving a quote and charge for $50 just for a pricing visit, Dave asked about the details and gave a reasonable price. I later sent him some photos and he confirmed quickly. Don is dispatched my house today for the work. Don was very professional. He did an excellent replacement work, checked everything and provided some valuable recommendations. I will definitely use them again in the future.

I have hired many contractors in the past and have a lot of experience dealing with good and bad contractors. Remodeling an entire house is typically an enormous and stressful undertaking but David @ JDBG really made it a streamlined and enjoyable process. David?s design suggestions were very creative and helped complete our vision for our new home. His team of workers was always respectful, polite and clean, not to mention incredibly talented at every construction task! David really has an outstanding team. We also appreciated his extreme care and attention to every detail, personally overseeing every task every day and even coming with me to pick out my tile at the tile store. It has been 4 months since the work was done and I wanted to make sure no problems with the work arose before submitting my review. I can now say with confidence that the quality of craftsmanship is outstanding and we receive compliments whenever we have guests.

David and his team did a fabulous job on a complete kitchen remodel of a rental property. The kitchen was original 1960?s in a large condominium building with lots of rules and hurdles that didn?t faze him a bit. David not only presented a reasonable bid, addressed design challenges unique to the building and finished the job ahead of schedule, but best of all ? he gave me peace of mind. While I was away and the collegiate tenants were on Winter Break back home, I didn?t have to worry about the security of the unit or the job being done right. David was on-site and took care of everything. The end result is remarkable. I can?t wait to get him back to remodel the unit?s floor to ceiling vintage pink tiled bathroom.
