Critical: Quality The quality of the work done is awful. My store looked even better before the renovation. The quality of cleaning is also poor.

Report
I hired this company last May. The salesman seemed convincing and had a way with words. He promised that the work would go like clockwork. However, during cooperation with this company, I was disappointed more than once. The installers were constantly late, and many were absent at the site at all. They finished work almost three months behind schedule. If I had been initially warned about the delays, I would have treated this with understanding. But pm regularly came up with more and more new reasons, and each time it looked less like the truth. I hate when someone tries to deceive me.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality Be careful. This company uses low-level subcontractors for its projects. Although when I spoke with the manager before hiring them, they promised that a highly professional team of installers would be replacing my roof.

Critical: Quality I hired this company for the exterior renovation of my home. The estimator was friendly and provided me with a fair price, and I was pleased (Exactly until I saw the result of their work). The installers left a bunch of flaws, especially related to the roof. I am disappointed.

Critical: Quality, Value Considering the level of customer service, the services of these companies should cost at least 20 percent less. The quality also leaves much to be desired.
