Please save yourself some headache and use someone else. Al’s guys are good but dealing with Al is painful. Some of the pros and cons for our kitchen remode:
Pros:
End result is good, just few punch out items are left
Cons:
–work area wasn’t blocked off the first day which meant dust went everywhere including furniture from tile being taken up (I expected some just not that much)
–Al asks for money constantly after the project starts and tells you his issues for why he needs it (can’t make truck payment, payroll, etc.)
–forgets what he agrees to, even when it’s in writing and then uses it as he’s doing you a favor for doing something he previously agreed to
–he ran over our dog with his truck, didn’t apologize and didn’t offer to pay for the vet bills (we didn’t ask)
–our previous faucet was thrown out even though it was only about a year old and while we weren’t reusing it, we wanted it.
–our ladder disappeared on clean up day
–al owes us about $ 250 because my husband was trying to help and picked up supplies for him and I just found the receipt after paying Al.
–job took 8 weeks instead of promised 4 – 5 weeks
–al didn’t include a microwave in the design plan, we should have caught it too but since he’s the professional I expected him to point it out.
–we where charged overages on spending but where never given credits for coming in under budget
Bottom line: we are out about $ 250, a ladder and will have to spend about $ 500 to finish out the job… could be worse but could be a lot better too.
