Corvo Construction

Unilocal continues to take my reviews of Corvo Builders down, and I have no idea why?

I am surprised this company is still in business. They don’t even deserve a star but I cannot post a review without it. I moved into one of their properties in 2011 and have had nothing but problems from the beginning. They were responsive to the small issues such as my back door’s inability to be locked because the plate wasn’t lined up with the latch. However, when plumbing problems started they stated they weren’t responsible because THEY didn’t install the pipes or fixtures. Okay, I get that maybe they didn’t physically put them into place but as the contractors they are responsible for the work their subcontractors do. The list of shortcuts they took that I’ve discovered so far has become more of a novel: a mishmash or different pipes welded, glued and otherwise forced together to make up my plumbing system; light switches installed upside down because they cut the wires too short; giant holes in the wall (now covered with plastic plates hung by one screw) that don’t even have anything behind them; trim that’s been pieced together; the drawers aren’t screwed to the runners and some were even installed upside down; one thin layer of flat paint with no primer so one bump and the paint falls of the head of the drywall screws; the rubber around my roof hatch was cut short and not flashed properly causing a leak; a plank of hardwood that was obviously shot with an empty nail gun at least 10 times before they got a nail in part way then just hammered it over and the list goes on. I even electrocuted myself once because the circuit board was labeled incorrectly. Please be careful when buying a property that this company was involved with because you’ll spend a lot of money cleaning up their mess.

Looks can be deceiving… unless you look really closely. Extremely sloppy on the job site, and refused to clean up. Very poor planning of basic things. Extreme lack of flow through with finishing tasks. I would never do business with them again. Fortunately some of the subcontractors they hire are very good and have been able to somewhat make up for their significant deficiencies.
