The end work looked good thanks to the sub trades. Dealing with Element Restotations as a general contractor was a nightmare. I hired them for a job that we agreed on a 4 week timeline and 73k (estimate - so I knew it could be higher). On at least 6 occasions I was told I hadn't informed them of important information that I proved through emails I had indeed done so. We added extras along the way which they suggested stating "it might still be in the budget!"... After going almost 8 weeks and getting hit with a 94k bill (never once did they mention anything going above 73k), I informed them they were off the job. After attempting to negotiate, they threatened legal action if I didnt pay 90k which they said would settle our buisness. I came in and paid the 90k, then was sent another bill as soon as I got home for another 4k and Element then threatened to sue my mother and partner who gave him negative reviews. Oh ya... and they tried to post pictures of my project claiming "a custom entertainment unit" as their work... when I bought it straight from Home Depot (if ya want to see the post I got it!). Have to love those "honest" contractors, eh? Hire the sub trades yourself, Element Restorations turned what should have been one of the happiest moments in my life into two months of tears and stress as I was berated with bills I wasn't informed of and letters from his lawyer threatening to sue me AND my family. This was my experience with Element Restorations, as I wish a review like this existed when I was researching contractors.
-As I cant reply to a response, I'll just tack on here. I have not once been contacted via phone or email since the day I dropped off final payment that they said would settle our business. Just the 4k bill they sent me as I got home because I refused to sign his legal disclaimer that would keep me from saying anything.
