This summer I wanted a whole home generator installed to prepare for whatever month Northwest Arkansas decided to have a snow storm. I was a little nervous about the entire process since it's a larger purchase. I talked to Twyla, who was super helpful and worked well around my crazy schedule. Jason, the owner, came out to take a look and give me an estimate before sending his plumber and electrician out. We agreed on the scope of work, I paid a deposit, and they got me on their schedule. The electrician, Mark, walked me through everything and even helped me connect the generator to my WiFi too! Would definitely recommend the Arkansas Remodelers team if you're looking for a local company with great customer service ! read more

My hope is that no one else has to experience the same pain that we have gone through and are continuing to go through. Jason Yount is an unethical, crooked "contractor" that will lie to you, take advantage of you, manipulate you, and will perform the most inferior quality work. He will also NOT take responsibility for any of the damages he has caused. When we gave him a list of our frustrations with him and the work that he performed, his response to us was "I understand guys. I'm frustrated too." Here are the main issues that we faced: - Both sinks in the kitchen ended up having leaks. TWO different leaks. One of the sinks lead to water damage to the ceiling in the basement. Jason will not accept responsibility and will not pay for the repairs. We tried to file with his insurance but they informed us that general contractors are not liable in the state of Arkansas if a subcontractor performs the work. Jason didn't do any of the remodel work himself. He subbed out every part of the job. We are having an issue filing with the subcontractors insurance as well. We will end up paying out of pocket the thousands of dollars it will take to repair the damage caused by the leak. - We had the kitchen countertops replaced. The subcontractors were Northwest Granite. We aren't exactly sure what happened while they were installing the countertops but their fingerprints will not come off of the granite. The company has sent someone out five different times to try to get the fingerprints out. All we've noticed is that whatever substance created the fingerprints is just being smeared along the countertop as they've tried to scrub off the fingerprints. Two of the times that they came out to address the problem, they left us the chemicals and basically said that we needed to scrub the fingerprints out ourselves. Another kitchen remodeling company told us that it will be impossible to get the substance out because they've ground it so far down into the granite. - We asked for the corbels to be removed from the cabinets. Several pieces of wood from the countertops were broken in the process. Jason refused to take responsibility and would not fix the pieces of wood that were broken in half. A cabinet specialist came out and give us a $300-$500 price tag to fix the cabinet damage. - We were never told that the backsplash was going to be broken in the process of the countertops being replaced. It was a huge shock when I went to look at the progress and saw that the bottom row of backsplash had been beaten in half. In the process, the Sheetrock behind the backsplash was beaten in. The Sheetrock will need to be replaced on the entire wall now. There was ZERO communication warning us that this would happen. - As mentioned above, there was an initial leak in the main kitchen sink that I caught on the very first day that the work was done. Multiple issues came from work that Joe Roseblum with Marine Veteren Plumbing performed. - The work was supposed to start the last week of May but it wasn't actually performed until early August. Jason is TERRIBLE at communicating. You can call or text him multiple times and not receive an answer. Our experience was that he would introduce us to his subcontractors and then leave us to arrange all of the details. The ONLY time Jason stepped in was when I was ready to call the job off due to the material issues, communication issues, and timing issues. - Jason was supposed to be replacing the vent hood. I told him which vent hood model I wanted TWO MONTHS before he even started trying to order it. By the time he got around to ordering the vent hood, the model was on backorder. It is now no longer being sold. - We picked out faucets from Lowe's that we wanted to use on the island sink and main sink. Jason told us that he wouldn't install the ones that we selected because they were cheap and low grade quality (Moen brand). He forced us to select "high end" fixtures from his supplier. - Last but definitely not least is the money. We have never received a final receipt for the work performed. I have no doubt that if he were to read this and give us a final receipt with the breakdown of costs, he would try to get more money out of us. He totally lowballed the estimate. We were told that our budget was $8k for the granite/quartz and that it was a generous budget. The level we ended up selecting was either a high 1 or a low 2 (out of 7). We picked one of the most inexpensive types of granite and still went over budget. I feel like Jason was trying to give us a low initial estimate with a low material budget so that we would end up choosing him over other contractors. Another issue is that the price quoted was for 3 FULL slabs of granite. They definitely didn't use 3 full slabs and we weren't given any remaining granite. Jason lied to us and denied this when we tried to address it with him. DO NOT work with this sleazy, immoral man. We will be reporting the him to the Contractors Board of Arkansas. read more
