Review №1

Please read everything before committing to this contractor!To sum up everything, there are pros and cons to every construction group, but we feel like we made the wrong decision. Our kitchen looks beautiful because we picked out great materials and fixtures. However, as our contractor himself put it, this is the project from hell. The project started in July 2020. As of February 2021, the project is still not done. From the plumbing to electric, carpentry to cabinet installation, anything that could go wrong, went wrong. Among other things, we have experienced a large leak from the kitchen drain, leak from a toilet bowl, exposed live wires left unfinished for over a week, crooked dishwasher installation after 3 attempts, a large crease where 2 drywall panels met (after 5-6 attempts to fix we got another company to fix it in one try), severely out of level drywall where a ceiling and wall met (also requiring another company to fix it in one try, after several failed attempts by Allan Homes), kitchen cabinets out of level with the appliances since they were placed on the sub floor and the appliances were on finished floor (this required a complete removal of the cabinets, which we were charged for!), a built in refrigerator that would not fit into the surrounding cabinet, several days of no functioning air conditioning in sweltering August heat, contaminated water from a pot filler, scratched furniture, large scratches on cabinet faces, and unsightly gaps in cabinet molding.All of this requiring many attempts to fix over many months. By the end, we were an afterthought, not a priority, on a job costing nearly $100,000. Most galling is that we were offered no discount or incentive for these numerous problems and inconveniences. We had to split the cost for them to take out and fix the cabinets that they installed on the concrete instead of running the new flooring first and then installing the cabinets, or at least accounting for the height difference when measuring. We were also refunded $500 for the drywall person we hired but only after a very intense telephone confrontation and we were told they didn’t touch that drywall but when reminded they did, it was then decided that we would get that refund. We were told to expect 6-8 weeks until completion. It took more than 10 weeks to have a livable kitchen with electricity, water, and cabinets. And months later, we are still encountering roadblocks while trying to finish the cabinet around our refrigerator, that, guess what, requires a different company to complete. We have told every person we know that they should never, ever, under any circumstances, use Allan Homes for their renovation projects, and we hope that anyone who is considering using Allan Homes reads this review first. We wish we would have known what we were getting into.
