Absolute Remodeling

Do not use Absolute Remodeling unless you want an Absolute Nightmare! This is what I got when I used Rick 2 years ago to do a large addition to my house (masterbath, extra bedroom, etc). I am still trying to fix all the problems: (1) Roof leak due to no ice shield put on which is required by code due to the low pitch of the roof, (2) large tub not installed according to manufacturer’s specifications (no support whatsoever under tub), (3) patio leak (architect specified waterproofing membrane never installed) and I can go on and on (these are just some of the major problems I’ve had to fix). Rick will tell you he did everything correctly — how is that possible? I have other horrendous accounts from homeowners who came to my house while my project was ongoing to warn me about Rick which I did not heed unfortunately.
He also doesn’t pay his sub-​contractors or his suppliers! Beware! I’ve had 2 subs come to my house and threaten to put a lien on my house because Rick didn’t pay them! There are so many sub-​contractors and suppliers who will not work with him here in Charlotte. Ask him where he is getting his subs from and who they are! Get references! He’s getting cheap guys who don’t know what they are doing! And make sure you get partial lien wavers every time you pay him! Even if you’ve paid him for the subs’ work, he did not pay them! The subs can still come after you as we found out the hard way!!!
If you are already working with him, please please please do yourself a big favor and ask to see EVERYTHING before he covers it up. Get proof of proper install for everything!!! Make sure you get your architect to sign off on anything structural before you pay him. My architect found lots of things that passed inspection that should never have passed!!! Those inspectors do not read your architect plans to make sure the contractor is doing what he should! If you don’t get proof of proper installs on everything, you will wind up like me just finding and fixing one major disaster after another.
