We were really in a pickle. Our son was selling his home, but was not getting good response. We had to fix it - fast. I called around for quotes on flooring and Darren gave me the best price. He and his men worked through the long weekend in 33 degree heat without complaint. When we came across problems with the stone work facing on the front of the house that we had not anticipated, I called Darren. He had help there that afternoon. He knew we were desperate, but did not take advantage of us. Instead he kept his price reasonable. Every craftsman was courteous and hardworking. I would not hesitate to work with Allure again.
Thank you so much for the reply
Darren
We have enlisted this contractor for some minor work on our home to prepare it to sell. The interior work (painting) was done very promptly after making contact and securing the quote and it was done to a semi-acceptable level. The outside work that was requested was weather dependent and the contractor needed 2 nice days in a row to complete the work. The majority of the outside work was completed but the remainder of the work has not been done despite having had many nice days. The only time the contractor would contact me was after I would either call or email him. The first blunder was when we asked to have gravel put down on our rv pad and I showed him the size of gravel that I wanted. The gravel company showed up with larger gravel and I thought it would be ok, but it turned out that man gate couldn't be opened because of the larger gravel so we have to have both our man gate and rv gate altered (at our cost) to allow the gates to both open. The rv gate was a gong show to get finished properly as it was completely remade and didn't open fully which was needed in order to put an rv onto the pad. The second HUGE blunder was the window we needed replaced in our master bathroom. We had a glass block window that was never installed properly from when the house was initially built and it leaked and so the window needed to be removed and the frame replaced. This contractor suggested that we order a custom made window and he would install it but needed 2 nice days in a row to complete the project. As before, we waited and waited and saw many nice days go by then winter came and that put an end to even hoping this window would be replaced. Come spring, we wanted to get our house up on the market to sell so the phone calls started and much to our frustration, the window never did get replaced and our house sold before that could happen. Part of our sale agreement was to have this window fixed and I sent an email to this contractor to make sure it happened and after not hearing from him, the buyer of the new house called him asking where the window was and he said it wasn't paid for. I contacted him and he claimed he never received my email and therefore nothing had happened. I gave him instructions that he was to get the window fixed and I would send a cheque for the cost to my realtor. I said I would re-send the email with the contact information so he could get the work done and after 2 emails, 2 voice mails (one from me and one from my realtor), he has not returned either call or acknowledged us at all. Frustration level is, to say the least, very high as this was a project that was to be done last fall. Darren was a reliable person but his contractors leave much to be desired and his lack of communication is completely unacceptable. Overall not happy with the work against the amount of money that was paid, which was very high and would NEVER recommend this contractor to ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its funny how people are so nice to you while you are doing the work for them.
Yes, you were getting your home ready for sale. I went above and beyond repairing your home repainting several areas that were not quoted for or charged for. Please also keep in mind this was during Xmas and new years and freezing cold outside and we could not work in your home during the holidays @ your request.
Repairing several more areas of drywall that were not charged for nor estimated. repainted wall damages by you over xmas because of tree sap repaired for free.
Showed you the gravel told you the size and you ok the size of it you wanted the same size as your neighbours. And then never mention a word about any of this until online, I rebuild your gate as it was built improperly at your request gave you an estimate you ok that as well built properly and more sturdy than the first time and with proper wheels.
Do everything you ask for changed your mind on renovations about 5 times had me re quote the job 5 times you knew the costs upfront nothing was hidden and no extra charges other than what you asked for to be done.
I do it all and it looks great, your house sells in a week! I think we must have done something right?
The window was at my warehouse and was smashed by thieves that broke in. clients were aware of this then could not make up their mind wether to replace the window or repair the glass block.
I took the window off their bill and the install cost and then I have their buyer call me and ask where the window is and she is yelling and screaming at me when it was never paid for in the first place.
Then I read all this b.s. and she still wants the work done by me?
Are you kidding?
No thanks,
Keep your inconsistent b.s. to yourself.
