We had a water leak in our kitchen. Called a company to have structure dried, called a couple of companies for the restoration and decided garman fit for us. The process was fairly easy given the circumstances. The restoration entailed flooring, replacing base cabinets, resetting our island, sink and countertops, and painting upstairs then replacing insulation, drop ceiling and insulated wall panels in the basement. Once into the restoration process this is when things started going bad. I was told for my job they will keep most in house with very little outside contractors. Ok cool. Nope! Their "professional" was a nice guy and did well with my 2 dogs but the workmanship was subpar. He couldn't wire a switch and receptacle for my garbage disposal. I had someone here at all times and they were constantly asked to help. When the "professional"couldn't figure out what he did wrong with the wiring the person I had here was asked to reset the breaker and "hold it on" so he could figure out what was wrong with the wiring. He couldn't identify pex water piping and glued a cpvc coupling to the pex, was going to put couplings below the base cabinet but above the floor so you would have never seen there was a coupling present or if it was leaking. Also had issues with the setting of the base cabinets and countertops which required having to reset them. So it came down to having to demand real professionals to be called in on the electrical and plumbing to fix what garmans "professional" could not do or fix properly. Now move on to the paint. They had a subcontractor come in. He seemed knowledgeable and asked what we were looking for. Well it's a kitchen and needs to be cleanable. So he did an ok job with the painting. But when it came down to almost a year later and time to clean the walls I was surprised to have the paint peel off my walls in multiple locations. I was in contact with both garman and the painter. The painter had a representative from the paint manufacturer come to my home look at the paint and have the paint sample retested. The paint came back fine. So now I am being told this is my problem and I am scrubbing to hard! I can say I've been a homeowner for 20 years and always painted every room myself and have never had an issue with paint peeling from scrubbing my walls. So I never really do reviews but felt this was necessary to warn others of the poor quality and lack of professionalism. I am also very sorry to anyone that has gone through this process to be let down by a know and supposedly top notch company.
