Wildcat Construction and Home Improvement has been in business for 23 years and 11 months owned by Mr. Jad Farhat. I am writing this review to explain my experience and to alert anyone who is going to hire his company to understand what you may experience!
In Oct 2022, my home caught fire. Mr. Farhat told me that he had performed Fire and Water damage repairs over hundreds of times. He told me he knew how to handle the insurance company. Before I go further understand. I fired Mr. Jad Farhat for the destructive work he performed and shortcuts that resulted in delays and also repeat work by other contractors which cost me several hundred thousand dollars. When I fired him he had two months and two days to complete all work. He put a lien against the home because I would not let me finish the home. The lien was for more than $220,000. He did not follow his own contract that he designed which was only a few lines. He did not follow the Insurance company guidance, he did not negotiate, he did not show proof of work, he did not go by the price constraints of the insurance company nor inform the owner me of damages that his crew had done.
To start with their was three companies involved with the insurance company two were to take out all house hold goods prior to any demolition of walls, ceiling etc where the fire took place to prevent damage to antiques, furniture etc. Wildcat Construction/Jad Farhat was responsible for all demolition, and rebuilding but was to go firmly by the spreadsheet that the insurance company gave to me and him.
Mr. Farhat immediately went into the home and started taring out the basement walls and ceilings. Only two rooms were to have been torn out that were totally destroyed by fire. Instead he did all the walls and ceilings throwing all the furniture, antiques, fur jackets, clothes, etc into the middle of the floor breaking expensive items, to include crystal, china etc and very expensive antiques. He told me the insurance company would cover all damage. The insurance company had already photographed everything and told me that after what Mr. Farhat had done they would not pay for those items that he damaged.
The Insurance company paid Mr. Farhat to get porta potties for the site, but instead he let his people go into the dumpsters and along the outside of the home to do their business. I found out his crews were urinating on the floor of the home and I had to replace flooring and the area around where they urinated. The Defecated on the floor in the basement and left it in a hidden corner. This was an extreme health issue to his workers and the home owner! I have pictures, videos and verification from professional inspectors.
