He was horrible...inappropriate...the work was sub standard...he swears when you tell him things are not done properly....do not use his company...not only because of the owner but because of the sub standard nature of his work.
I was very impressed at first sight. The website was neat and pretty. I hired these people when they were just Decor Amour . Lenny the owner provided proof that he was bonded, looked extremely professional, showed something about the BBB, however later found that he was not registered with the BBB.
He only has 2 works at the time and it seem that they had other regular day jobs . Naturally the work took way longer than quoted in our contract, in fact it got so bad I had to threaten not paying the balance if the work was not completed by my specified date. The workers were at my house from 3 - 11 pm and at times even later. The contractors,however showed up during business hours.
The workers were very pleasant however, they were not able to do much. Lenny knew this because he contracted people to all of the crucial stuff, like my floors and counter tops. The 2 guys just sanded and painted my cabinets and trims. He allowed them to install my pantry door and they installed the door backwards!
I could have done the job Lenny did and a better one at that, he basically acted like a project manager. He apparently had a fight with once of the flooring people who walked out on him while in the middle of doing our kitchen floor.
We will never recommend this company to anyone. He's not even with the BBB, so I was not able to complain. Hopefully this "new name" they will do things differently.
We hired All About Granite (Formerly known as Decor Amour) back in February of last year to do a basement renovation. The supervisor guaranteed the work would completed within three weeks time. When in fact it took their crew five weeks. Not sure if this was due to the fact that they subcontracted the job out to other contractors (who by the way were far more efficient, courteous and timely) or if it was the lack of communication between Deco Amour's management and the contractors they hired to do their work for them. It also may have been due to the fact that their management really did not come by to "check up" on our renovation/project sufficiently or often enough.... Regardless there ended up being an altercation (nothing too heinous but discouraging none the less) between the sub contractors and Decor Amour's supervisor in regards to a discrepancy about payment for completed work.
Three quarters of the work had been completed by the sub contractors, and apparently they had not been paid. Also from what I gathered from that overhearing that disagreement/conversation the management at Decor Amour also owed the contractors payment for materials/supplies. I could understand the reasoning for the sub contractor to be aggravated by this, but what was I to do? My husband had paid for the job in full already....
Although they did complete the job eventually, the fact that the management at Decor Amour (in my opinion) scammed the sub contractors that they hired out of $3,500.00 (that's just going by eavesdropping) has been bothering me since Feb. IN addition, the sub contractors job was much more appealing visually, and when my brother in law (who is a home inspector) came from Buffalo to visit he pointed out numerous flaws in Decor Amours work, but not the sub contractors...
My husband and I will be neither re-hiring nor referring Decor Amour/It's All About Granite any time in the near future. As we are weary of the shady way their head representatives operate.
Kelly Kroth Whom work's for Lenny is a excellent worker. He is very talented and he keeps a very clean work area. The team of worker's have a very professional attitude and are ready to assist you with everyone of Your need's. I'm very grateful to them for the work that they have done around my home. I highly recommend hiring this company. You will not be disappointed!
Very disappointing. Does not have any of the professional services as mentioned, ex. no designers, architects, plans, insurance, etc. Only has 3 employees, not 10. None are licenced in any trade. No electrical permits taken out for kitchen Reno, no plumbing, no building permits for basement. No invoices provided. After 2 1/2 mths, neither kitchen or basement Reno is completed. This contractor, Decor Amour left the job 2 weeks before Christmas. For the record, job started back in October. Do not hire this company or any company that you see Lenny representing (he's had a few). Please recognize these names, Michelle (gf), Kelly (foreman - unskilled, poor attitude) charlie (granite guy), and Lyle (carpenter & electrician???? Inspector was pretty upset to find out who really did the wiring. In closing, these guys spend alot of time in looking professional,and covering up their poor work (they look for ways to cut every corner possible), We're out over 20 k and need to finish our basement and kitchen - do not hire these people.
