"Our experience with CWE Renovations has been marked by a troubling lack of professionalism, accountability, and customer service. Despite having a comprehensive record of issues spanning nine pages, we will have to summarize the key points here to provide a clear picture of why we strongly advise against using this contractor. Project Timeline and Delays: We were initially given an estimated completion timeline of approximately 12 weeks for our basement renovation. Contrary to this, the project has now extended well beyond 18 weeks. We were assured on two separate occasions (6/27 and 7/11) that only two weeks of work remained. Unfortunately, scheduling has been disorganized, with no clear plan to ensure tasks are completed consecutively. For instance, the electrician's work remains pending with no definitive schedule, and the carpet installation, scheduled for August 19th, was delayed due to the contractor's failure to arrange for measurement until July 26th (despite us inquiring about this since 6/27). Communication and Accountability Issues: Our attempts to gather accurate information and resolve issues have gone ignored. We discovered discrepancies when we contacted Waste Management regarding the pickup of our bagsters, only to find no record of an order. Additionally, a metal rack has been left for 2.5 weeks in our driveway due to the contractor's failure to follow up with Home Depot immediately upon it being left behind by mistake. More concerning, we found that the electrician listed on our permit had no involvement with our project. Upon investigation, we learned that the permit was improperly filed under a business' name, and the electrician ,who worked for the business, was only working on our project as a side job, potentially jeopardizing their professional standing. Overall Experience: The most disappointing aspect has been the lack of communication and ownership. We are left with an incomplete basement and are now seeking a refund for the portions of the project that have not been completed as promised. Given these significant issues, we strongly recommend avoiding CWE Renovations for any renovation projects. Our experience underscores serious concerns regarding their reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction. Everything incomplete as 8/12 (18 weeks after the start date with a 12 week estimate): Electrician to finish outlets, lights, light switches, etc (no eta) â we paid for on 7/30 Carpet Installed (given a date of 8/19 which is completely unacceptable when we have been asking about this since 6/27) we paid for on 7/30 requesting this refunded since Carpet Installation Guy does not want to work with Dan and quoted us almost half to install Trim completed around stairs and in bathroom - Paid Metal Rack Removed from Doors (Offered to reach out myself since Dan doesn't seem to have any urgency in it) -Requesting Dan cover the cost to remove on 8/15 Garbage Removed (two bagsters) We paid for on 2/26 Door Installed over the breaker box Lien Waivers from Plumber, HVAC, Electrician Railing on the stairs (which we have made clear we do not want this in until carpet is installed so we can get our couch downstairs) Paid on 4/12 invoice"

"Having our kitchen cabinets refaced, with new doors & drawers, by Mad City was an excellent experience. Everyone from the sales team, the measurement technician to the installers were professional, did great work and were pleasant to work with. They arrived exactly when they said they would, completed the job on schedule and did a thorough clean up every day. Bob & Elaine Scholl"

"The very best thing about Big Dave's is that he shows up when he says he will, he does the job we agreed on, and he cleans up after himself. Very different from any other GC I've dealt with in nearly forty years. Superior work at all times; fixes issues when required without question or demur. I'll have no other GC darken my doors ever again."

"Excellent work. Took the time to make sure the job was done perfect. Cleaned up every day"

"Fantastic experience! Mitch and the team were really great to work with. The work was done quickly and at a high standard, and Mitch was always open to discuss options and offer suggestions. Would definitely recommend this team!"

"Best company in the area, I recommend them to everyone ❤️‍🔥"

"I met Mike through a professional association where we both serve on the board of directors. I had been thinking of doing some remodeling and had him check out my bathroom and kitchen. He was very responsive to what I was looking for and drew up some great plans for both rooms. I hadn't planned on doing both rooms in the same year but based on his estimates and timelines, I decided to go for it. As of this review, the bathroom is finished and I am super happy with the results. The week timeline was pushed out a bit due to some unforseen issues but they worked to get me a working bathroom as quickly as possible and we had to do some of the finishing work in pieces afterwards. Mike and Alan are great to work with and all of their subcontractors were very professional and did excellent work. Price was the most reasonable of all the estimates I'd gotten and Mike really understood what I was going for in terms of quality, design and future use and offered practical suggestions and worked with some of the unique issues of an older home. The end result is light years ahead of what it was and not only looks amazing but is so much more functional as well. Originally there was a tub with a shower curtain and the tub area isn't a standard size. The flooring hadn't been sealed and was peeling up around the tub. The surround was plastic and cracked, and the vanity was outdated and broken. We switched it out to be a walk in shower with no tub. The shower panel and bumper had to be custom built and tiled since the area wasn't a standard six-foot length. The shower walls and bumper are white subway tiles and the shower pan is penny tiles in a marbilized pattern. The vanity was moved over to make room for a linen cabinet which means the medicine cabinet and vanity light fixture needed to be moved over. The ceiling was dropped 6 inches in order to put in a fan/light, which was vented outside. The shelving over the toilet was replaced with a cabinet for extra storage. Flooring is marbilized vinyl tile which matches the shower pan. Subflooring was repaired around the toilet, shower mixer was installed, shower drywall was replaced with water-resistant panels and a moisture barrier, new floor trim was added and the entire room sanded and repainted. The vanity light switch was moved to accomodate the linen cabinet and a new switch was added to control the fan."
