M.G. Developments

M.G. Developments is a construction company owned by Linda D. Goodrich Mohammed and her husband Ruben. Ruben no longer has his license so Linda uses hers for the business. Now that I used their services I know why Ruben no longer has a license. I hired them to put aprox 1400 sq. ft. of engineered hardwood flooring in my whole downstairs and to also install tile in 2 bathrooms upstairs. I really don’t know where to start. Nothing was done correctly and he took shortcuts and caused damage during the process. Lets start with the bathrooms. First of all he did not install any underlayment that is required for the tile that was put in. To add insult to injury, he did not float or level the floors. he slapped some mortar on the tiles outside and carried them in while spilling mortar on the new hardwood floors causing damage to them. These are rectified tiles and there are not supposed to be noticeable grout lines. the tiles are all high and low and the grout lines are all different sizes. They creak when you walk on them because no underlayment was used and the floor was not leveled. He broke a tile by fastening down the toilet to tight and just left it there. He tried to level the tiles after the fact by using a grinder. He ended up causing more damage by chipping them and they did not look any better. He cut the carpet back too far by the vanity part of the bathroom that connects to the master bedroom. He just left a 4 inch gap with no trim. He dinged up and scratched the trim in the bathroom while installing the tiles. The calking looks like a 1^st grader did it for him. Some of the baseboards did not even get calked.
The wood flooring is ever bit as bad. He did not level any of the floor. There was carpet down before other than the bathroom and small hallway so it was not leveled before the carpet was installed. There are high and low spots everywhere. I have 2 small stairways and one large one/​He pretty much ruined all of them. He used too big of nails and the wrong kind of glue. The nails damaged the bull nose pieces. A lot of them are cracking and the rest are damaged from the nails. The were not cut correctly and there are gaps on the edges as well as where they butt up too the flooring planks. Ruben and his coworkers did not put anything down to protect the flooring and they tracked wax from the toilets as well as mortar and ruined my stairs and a lot of the flooring. He did a lot of damage to my sheet rock and left most of it alone. He tried to fix some of it and it looks terrible. He did not even get trim to try and cover up all his mistakes. He did not use thresholds near my slider doors or around the brick fireplace as required especially for a floating floor. He choose not to nail or glue down the floor. He put the floor down right over the top of the existing floor in the bathroom and hallway. He did not use a moisture barrier because the height would not have lined up with the living room where the carpet was torn out. I specifically told him not to do that and he promised to pull out the linoleum. I came in the house from painting baseboards and he was already halfway done with the area. He left no expansion gaps under any of the baseboards as required with my flooring. He installed some of the boards that had chips in them from the factory. He took all the extra bull nose and flooring planks with him and tried to tell me there was zero leftover! He did not bring towels or rags so he used mine from my garage but he took them home with him several days in a row. I thought he was going to wash and bring them back. He did nit return them. I could go on and on and on, but I hope you get the message and never use Ruben and Linda Mohammed and their company M.G. Developments for any type of construction work at your home or business.
