Basement Apartment Renovation

Rob and his team have done a few projects at our house (including a full upstairs bathroom gut job, tiled majority of our main floor, widened a kitchen entryway and did a new composite deck from scratch, including bench seating, new sliding doors and wired in 2 new light fixtures (2 previous reviews posted on those projects)). They had done a great job that we had them back a 3rd time to redo our basement apartment.
This was done Feb 2017. We rented it out the following September for a 1 year lease. Exactly one year later all of the upper cabinets started falling off the wall. After safely removing 2 cabinets, and the remaining 3 falling right off, we noticed that each cabinet was only attached to the wall with 1-2 screws (1 at the top and 1 at the bottom). One cabinet was only held up with 1 screw. Some of these screws actually went right through the cabinet and were still attached to the wall when the cabinets were removed. Another screw had gone through the drain stack pipe.
Needless to say we were pretty disappointed with the workmanship on this project. We expected more from Rob and his team, and unfortunately on this project, they did not deliver.
We have now had to replace these upper cabinets and fix a hole in the drain stack pipe prior to the new tenant moving in. Not exactly how we wanted to spend our long weekend!!!
We were in touch with Rob earlier this year for our next project (reached out 3rd week of March), but after receiving a quote and some very delayed back and forth phone tag (3 months worth) we have not heard back from Rob.
We still have a number of projects we want done on this house but sadly we’ll be finding a new contractor.

Approximate cost of services:
$18,000.00
