The owner (Carl) seems nice at first, but if you have any issues at any point you will not be taken seriously.
Our 5 day shower surround project turned into 2 months of hell working with this company. The project had to be done twice and was still not up to standards after the second time (crooked tiles, damaged walls, damaged shower fixtures etc).
They left a huge mess all the time, we spent hours scrubbing all kinds of materials off our brand new tub, floors, toilet, sink etc.
When I told him that our brand new $500 shower fixtures were damaged when they were removed to do the job a second time, he could not have cared less and basically called me a liar.
Not only did they never show up on time, but there were numerous occasions where we were told someone would come on a specific day, and despite me reaching out when they were very late, I got no response and no one would show up. Carl always acted as if he was doing us some kind of big favour.
He would not even bother wearing a mask while in our home during covid. The guy he hired for the second attempt at doing the tiles was extremely rude to us, rushed the job, and didn't respect our home either.
Three months after he had finally finished the shotty work, one of our walls began to crack where it was damaged by his employees and he refused to come and fix it, expecting me to pay for it.
I could go on! Please just trust me...you do not want to work with this guy. This company will not value you as a customer or respect your time. We are not happy with the outcome or the customer service. Huge waste of time and money, tons of unnecessary stress.
