Legacy renovations reviewI’ll start off by saying that Jason seems like a nice standup guy and he will gain your trust. Once he has your money though he does not care about the results of the job. Maybe it’s because my project was small, but if he didn’t care to do it right he should’ve referred me to someone who would.I had water damage inside one exterior wall. The scope of the job was to cut out a section of drywall, inspect the extent of the damage, and replace any rotted frames and insulation. Then replace drywall and paint the whole wall and trim. After cutting out the drywall some of the studs were very clearly water damaged. The crew began drilling new screws in diagonally through the damaged wood, as if that would solve anything (see pictures). I immediately called Jason and he assured me the guys “would do it right” and to “let them work.” He must’ve called them because they began cutting out the damaged wood and replacing it. So if I had not been there, an actual fix would’ve never happened. I then had to step out for 2 hours and never got to see the final result of the inside of the wall. No pictures were sent to me of it after the job was finished.Then the paint was botched. Nothing was taped so the transition from wall to baseboard looked terrible. The baseboard was also not properly prepped for paint and had very uneven coloring and even high spots in some areas. I addressed this with Jason, he had the crew come back out to fix this. They fixed the transition, but the baseboard was still never prepped right and just painted over again. So the color is still uneven. I’m going to end up redoing the paint trim myself. Which is a shame, that I’m confident I can do a much better job after paying top dollar to have it done by “professionals.” In hindsight, it’s not surprising that Jason wanted the crew to do the work while I was on vacation.Edit: forgot to add that after the revisit I did address my remaining concerns to Jason and never got a response.REPLY TO OWNER RESPONSE: What a joke of a response. I never agreed to sacrifice quality for cost, or speed. My budget made doing the flooring a non starter, but never did I say “sure paint this thing half ass if it’ll save me a couple bucks.” N’or did I say “just throw some screws into the rotten wood framing that’ll be alright.” Neither of those things are acceptable. Especially without a conversation about sacrificing quality for cost, which never happened. During the initial appointment Jason gave me a range for the cost, depending on how extensive the damage ended up being. But then before he left just settled at the very top end of the range he gave me without even seeing the final scope of the job.
