I regret working with AR Saunas. I paid for a "custom sauna" that is unusable: it leaks water when…read moreit rains, has visible holes in the back wall, and the included heater can't reach standard sauna temperatures. None of these issues were disclosed. Standard sauna walls are usually 1.5"-2" thick. Mine? Just 0.75". I provided photo evidence to AR Saunas showing the water damage and poor construction. When I raised my concerns, I was told it was my fault for not doing more "research"--and that "saunas aren't waterproof." Let that sink in: I was sold a structure meant to trap heat and humidity, yet it wasn't designed to keep water out. I tried to resolve this directly. The contractor offered a partial refund or a different heater--neither of which addresses the real problem. There was no accountability, just blame-shifting. I chose AR Saunas based on the glowing reviews. I now question how many of those reflect real, long-term customer satisfaction. My advice: * Ask the specs--especially the heater * Confirm the wall thickness * Ask if rain will get in * Don't send a large e-transfer without guarantees in writing

Was hoping to do 2 major projects with this company (total project value $150,000). Called to…read moreschedule appointment. They arrived late so our discussion was rushed. They seemed positive and committed to create designs and get back to me. I was then ghosted. Waited several weeks. I sent another message and they said they would get back to me and apologized for the delay. They ghosted me again. I sent another message message as a follow up and nothing. Customer attention and service means a lot. As a result, I've gone with their competitor.

Didn't respond to my inquiry after 2 weeks. Some sort of reply would have been acceptable.read more

Good Guys built us a sunroom in 2010 for approx $50K. Looked nice but many problems…read more First, Good Guys submitted but never completed the permit process unbeknownst to us. So a couple years later the City served us with a permit violation notice . Since the time limit had expired on the original application, they'd destroyed it (without informing us) and now we had to re-submit from scratch. We hounded Good Guys for over a year to re-do the permit process. Due to the time it took, the City assessed a $1,200 fine against us. Filing a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, got Good Guys' attention temporarily and they got part way through the permit application process. But Good Guys was so unresponsive it was impossible to finish. So we worked directly with an engineer to finish the permit process and got the permit this month (Oct 2018). The engineer gave us a report listing problems that would not pass City inspection. The worst was none of the teleposts under the middle of the deck were screwed down. So the middle was completely unsupported and also way off level. (Decking inside sunroom has to be torn out to fix it, then replaced with new decking) There was also insufficient structure where the sunroom roof meets the house roof and many other deviations from the engineer's design.. Plus, there's bad leaking and several other problems. As of now (end of Oct 2018) we have a contractor working to fix the problems ($8,000) and pass City inspection. Bottom line: Poor workmanship and support that's cost us a lot of time and money to fix.

Charged for everything including setting up the samples and PUTTING THEM AWAY. Really the highest price person in the company is putting away a handful of samples? If you don't like the original design provided, you will be charged all over again for another. Then be prepared to be charged for services not provided either. We didn't even look at flooring samples, but I was charged for this as well. I was even charged for the time I called to book an appointment! I wouldn't complain, IF the owner had at least discussed my issues with me. But after several months, no return calls/emails. There are plenty of other great designers in this talented city. Look for them.
