Creative Cabinets

«There is no magic in magic, its all in the details– Walt Disney», this is in Nick’s email signature, and it cannot be further from the truth. His projected 7 week project in our kitchen turned into a 12 week project and we are still not done because we have to have our entire kitchen floor ripped up and re-​tiled. When the tile was put in we noticed that it looked uneven and let him know. He had his contractor «fix» it, but it still looked uneven. We let him know yet again that it stilled looked uneven to which he said they’d fix it at the end of the job. When we refused to have the same contractor put in our tile backsplash Nick brought in a new guy (who did a fantastic job on the backsplash) and he told Nick that the floor was done wrong and it would have to be ripped up to correct it. This was the biggest problem we had, however not the only…
Light switch cover: cut a cheap plastic one to fit an outlet, rather than order a new one to fit our brand new kitchen.
Wanted to charge us an additional $ 1,400 to install a countertop, which was supposed to be part of the original work.
Had to fight with him to replace the recessed lighting because after they were put in the first time, you could see about ½″ gap around each light-​fixture in the ceiling.
A couple of his contractors called us after the job was completed to find out if we paid him because he was not paying them. This is unprofessional and not our problem, that was why we hired him — to deal with the contractors.
Make sure your vet his contractors, because at the end of the job, we found out some very disconcerting information about one guy that was in our home more than any of the other contractors.

I had the same issue as James. Quoted one price in writing then on the day of installation tells me (Nick) that the price had gone up for the countertops and wanted 1600.00 more.

Beware of low estimates and last second price increases. They tried to hold us up for almost a thousand dollars in extra material but couldn’t substantiate the changes at all. Go with other contractors if at all possible.
Nick, an honest business would have owned up to screwing up their estimate and learned from the experience. Instead you decided to go after a terminally ill person for your own mistakes. Class act.
