Shower Repair Fiasco

I hired them to fix what should have been a simple job so I could proceed and sell my townhouse. The shower floor / surrounding tiles had rotted due to a slow leak over the last decade. This required to replace the shower floor, lower surrounding wall and tiles.

What should have been a 2-3 week job took 2 months with continuous delays. Unfortunately I had to do more follow-up than expected on scheduling the work, materials to be ordered and confirming delivery time of materials that should not be the customers responsibility.

Areas of concern included not verifying the amount and the required materials ordered, delays in delivery on the day of work as the contractor was not on site early to receive the material, and putting in an incomplete address for delivery all contributed to the impact in the timelines.
Alex (contractor) actually did a great job as shown by the photos. I just wish throughout this entire process, there was better coordination and communication as I found myself wondering why I had to be so actively involved in essentially "project managing" the activities. As a customer, I believe I should have the peace of mind that the work is being adequately planned and executed by THIG without necessitating my constant intervention.

At least they listened to me and provide me a partial credit back for project management fees. If you plan to use this company please ensure you have a complete list of materials and an accurate schedule before the work begins.

Approximate cost of services:
$7,500.00

Company Response

Hi Daniel: Thank you so much for this review. We appreciate all feedback as it helps us for future projects. With your project even though it appears to be one, in actual fact it was 2 projects. We did the demo work first so Randy could provide a quote for the 2nd half. Once the quote is signed back accepting the price, we can then schedule the job. As you mentioned, communication is a big factor both with the customer and the trades. We are pleased that once completed, you were very happy with the work that Alex did.

Sincerely

Merry Robertson
