Hired Kris Konstruction in Baldwin, MD to remodel our two bathrooms at one time. We purchased all the items for the job, vanities, granite counters, soaker tub, frame-less glass shower doors, tile, grout, ceiling fan-heat-light combination, faucets, lights, toilets, mirrors, medicine cabinets, and accessories, keeping quality in mind. The job started quickly and took about 5 weeks to complete. They did get the job finished but they needed to come out to make a repair on some grout that was cracking after a few weeks in the one shower. I am still waiting for them to come back out, now a 3 week wait, to repair/replace a cracked tile where the tub spout was put on too tight and cracked the tile. I think they lacked attention to detail and made too many mistakes along the way. Left a cracked tile under the toilet until I pointed it out. The corner shower was not caulked properly at first and had much water coming out on the floor. Had to reorder shower sealing strips that were trimmed too short and torn. Had a hard time telling them that I wanted and paid for the old floor to be removed and replaced with cement board. They never did install the floor using cement board, I was just given more excuses why they did not need to use it although I wanted it and paid for it. So I have plywood under my new tiled floor. They forgot to install a second electrical outlet over the one vanity, so instead of feeding the wire through the wall they cut the drywall along the floor behind the new vanity and pushed the wiring into the cutout and then placed the vanity covering it up. Is that even up to code? I guess I need to check into that. I have pictures of all the good and bad along the way. Where the old ceiling vent was taken out the patch work is horrible. Everyone sees it when they go in there. There was water leaking out of a cross threaded drain into the new wooden vanity. I asked them to please go back up into the attic to try to lay the insulation down better to where it was before they installed the ceiling vents. The excuse was," I was not the guy who was up there", and also" The vent is pushing it up". I fully understand a 5 inch vent tube pushing up on it some but the way it looks has nothing to do with the vent tube. The paint work is only so so. You can actually see white through some missed spots in the middle of the walls. One coat doesn't always do it. They could not seem to get the towel bars and other accessories hung without messing up the walls or hanging them at the wrong spots, so I did that after they left. I paid them for that but they did not credit me for doing that work, which was a few hours of my time. I really wanted to like this hometown area business. Maybe the other aspects of their business are better, but I was not too impressed with the quality done by their bathroom crews. They were friendly and kind to my dog while they were here and we were at work. I even gave the first two workers $50.00 gift cards to a local steak house. After that they left and had two other guys do the rest of the work. If you are looking for a bathroom construction company that does quality and detail oriented work, you may want to keep looking. Good luck with your project.
