Improveit did a bathroom remodel in shower floor and vanity. After removing the old vanity there was problem with wall behind the old vanity the installer informed their supervisor of the problem. I call the company informed them of the problem with that and broken tile on the other side. The company said that they would send out a person to take measurements and find a solution for the problem.The gentleman came out and took measurements and was going to talk with the company about the problem. I have not heard back from the company I sent a text to the number that I have been called from and text from. I havent received a callback or any other communication. I was told by the sales representative that if the found any problems that it would be addressed by the company during the installation. This isnt about the installers they did their job and even informed the company of the problem they did a excellent job my problem is with the company not taking care of a problem that was created by the install. I even told the sales representative that this home was built in 1958 and modern products are a change to match up with it. I spent a lot money on this renovation and cant move forward to finish this project without this being resolved. I would either have them finish the job or refund some of the money so I can hire someone else to finish the jobBusiness Response

June 11 I scheduled for July 18, between 12-4 PM. They had problems getting broken window out. When they went to set the new replacement window, upon inspection and measuring determined new window was too big. They ended up cracking the new replacement window while trying to install it. They started measuring to double check measurements and decided to have the next window built 1/16 smaller to stop this from happening again. I suggested they put the original window back in they were hesitant (afraid of it breaking, but agreed. Now approx 6-7 PM they filled out the **** report they do for the work and I asked to have someone call me over this as I had questions/concerns,waited 3 days. I started calling, texting, messaging through website to have a manager call me. Always "we will get back to you in 24 hours". When I did talk to a human was told they couldn't help me, no managers available, but would transfer to someone else which always went to VM. When the call came (approx 2 weeks later) to schedule 2nd new window for Sept 5, and was told I may have to pay labor fee again, I asked her to have a manager call me. NOTHING. Friday Aug 30 sent text, NO RESPONSE. Wed Sept 4, multiple calls, text, website. I am IRATE at this point. Call from *******, who told me I was being disrespectful. Ask for a complaint ************* *** calls, I explain all this and ask what can be done about MY time for their mistakes and he is dismissive and said there is nothing he can do. Sept 5, new window TOO BIG AGAIN, and broke the original window this time. I called *** who said he couldn't do anything at that time but would start making calls in the morning. Now I have to take off more work time. I personally will have approx 11 hours in something that should have taken 1 hour, and have been dismissed by the company through the whole process. As of now have no date of when new window will be installed. Mission statement of company is being missed it seems.Business Response

Complaint: 22253941
I am rejecting this response because: Complaint not about window. 14 weeks. 2 failed attempts to install a new window. to get a warranty window replaced in 1.5 hours. 13 hours of missed work. 4 hours of personal time (not including calls, texts, E-mails). 6 weeks of calls, voicemails, texts, E-mails NOT being returned, even when I spoke to human voices who said they couldn't help me but would pass it on. Had to make BBB complaint to get customer service to call. GM called to cancel on the day of the third attempt which sent me into a screaming, foul tirade, which he responded in kind. Set up new date a week later. Seems the only concern was getting rid of BBB complaint. NO URGENCY to the customer. Read the Mission statement and see which of the missions fit my story.Could not reach an agreement to "make it right".
Its not about the window!

I signed the contract on July 20. I requested an itemized breakdown of costs on August 6, with the assurance of a prompt response. Despite several follow-ups, I did not receive the breakdown until August 16, which contained an error: an unnecessary third wall. I raised this issue that evening and was told it would be corrected and returned.Over the next few days, I continued to make inquiries and was promised call-backs at specific times, but none were received. I eventually got the revised itemized breakdown on August 26, which had the third wall removed, but the prices for line items 4-10 and ***** had increased, keeping the total unchanged. I addressed these concerns that evening but have yet to receive a response.I had an appointment scheduled for August 30 at 11 a.m. to discuss these concerns. I called at 9 a.m. to confirm, only to be informed that the technician was booked elsewhere by the main office. I now have a new appointment set for September 6 at 10 am, although that has not been confirmed.Furthermore, when the technician came to measure the bathroom, he only measured the window and initially overlooked the shower, which is also being replaced. After I pointed this out, he corrected his measurements. Although this was a minor mistake, coupled with the other issues, I have lost confidence in this company. I asked Improvit! to cancel, but I was told that I could not. I would like to cancel the contract and request a refund of the $285 deposit, though I understand if it is non-refundable.Business Response

They sold me whole kitchen cabinet refacing and quartz countertops for $36,000 to be financed with *********************** The salesman, ******************* told me they didn't use sub contractors that all work is done by company except they sub out countertops with American Granite. However, there were a lot of sub contractors here. I have a lot of complaints with the salesman and the company, like not returning my calls until I contacted the president of the company, as well as several other issues, but with character limits Ill list the most compelling and the issues that need immediate attention. As you can see by the pictures I uploaded the countertops and the installation are a complete mess. The countertops for some reason were made partially flat on the corners, whereas they are supposed to be bull nose shape all around. I want new countertops and for them to be installed correctly. The new stainless steel sink has a defective discoloration on it and one cabinet door has a small cut in it. On two end cabinets they didn't put cornices on top like my old ones had. I contacted the service company for they said they would be billing me in a week. I told them job was not complete and I would not be paying until it is fully completed. They are looking into it. I was mislead on the contract which I felt pressured to sign as it was displayed on ****'s tablet which was difficult to read the several pages in small font. I didn't see the part about having to sign off that the job was completed when only 80% was done, before countertops were even installed. They gave me $7000 check to hold until countertops were completed. As I stated, I expect a replacement of the defective countertops and stainless sink and cabinet door as well as, two missing top cornices installed.Thank You *************************** ************Business Response

I hired this company to install new windows throughout my house (16k, but 20k in total with financing). 7/23/2024 was the date the crew came to install. They chain smoked during the entire time my windows were removed in my living. This left my couches ruined with cigarette smoke. I have cleaned them with no luck of getting the smell out. The company will only have some clean them which I have already done. They will not do anything else. After installation I was handed the completion paper to sign without allowing me to do a walk through. the person in charge would also not let me speak to the manager alone to address my concerns with the installation. There was broken glass, nails, cigarette butts and sharp cut aluminum left all over the outside of my house and inside my house. The upstairs windows looked unlevel and there is caulking all over with large openings that water can get into and destroy the new windows and frame. The crew damaged my front porch, caused massive paint damage to the outside of my house and broke window protectors to my basement windows that they were not even replacing. I was left to clean up the mess while the crew got in their truck and drove away. I contacted the company to have someone come look at my concerns. On 7/31/2024 the manager (who was very nice and understanding) came to my home. the manager stated that the windows upstairs needed taken out and reinstalled and majority of the caulking of all the other windows needed removed and redone and leveled. I also gave the manager the large metal cutting shears the crew left on my 4 y/o sons play table He stated he would contact me soon with a date for the repairs. I have yet to hear from them. I was told on 8/5/2024 when i reached out again I would hear from them within 24hrs to schedule and still have yet to hear from them. I have security camera throughout my house to prove my statements as well. The manager took pictures of nails, glass, aluminum and damage as well.Business Response

I hired Improveit to install a walk in shower, after the sales rep finished his sales pitch. The sales rep told me that if the installers cause damage or problems during the install that the company would be responsible to repair it or pay to have it fixed. The installers caused a leak from a pipe and couldn't get it to stop after admittingly using pliers to turn the valve. After they showed me the leak they said "sorry" and walked away and I had to pay a 500.00 plumbing bill to a local plumber to fix it. The company asked for photos and the invoice which I supplied and they admitted on the phone the installer shouldn't have tried to use pliers to turn the valve due to corrosion. I explained that my husband had told the company to shut the water off under the house as all the valves had been recently replaced so there wouldn't be any issues but they didn't do that. It has been 4 weeks now and they won't answer calls nor return any voice messages or text messages. I contacted the sales rep and told him of the dispute and he said we should be made whole and said he would look into it but he has not returned calls for follow up on our complaint either. We paid over $13,500.00 and hired them based off their products and what the sales rep had said. I want the company to reimburse me for the $500.00 plumbing bill that they created.Business Response
