I only chose one star because there is no option for negative stars. These people are unbelievable. NHCRS is a shell game operation. They hired random people from craig's list who were not licensed professionals, and they sent them to my house to do the work unsupervised. I bought a house in Massachusetts that needed extensive renovations. I called NHCRS and they came out to do an estimate. He seemed very professional, and seemed to know what he was doing. He gave us a quote and said not to be concerned about the lower price, because he guaranteed the quality of his work. He also stated that he had employees who were licensed carpenters, plumbers, and electricians, and that they were licensed in the state of Massachusetts. This turned out to not be true. He didn't send anyone to my house that had worked for him longer than a couple months, and they admitted to not being licensed. At one point, they had a worker at my house who they told me to my face was a licensed plumber. I walked directly from that conversation, into the house and asked the worker if he was a licensed plumber and he admitted that he was not. I was told that the work would be done in a matter of weeks. I bought the house in January, and by April it was nowhere near complete. The entire project was mismanaged from the beginning and extremely unprofessional. They left trash and debris piled up inside my house and all around outside for months because they refused to pay for a dumpster. I was told over and over that they will send the "company trailer". This did not happen, and when they finally came to pick up the trash, they sent a guy out in a uhaul truck! When the work began, I was told that the permits had been pulled and everything was on track... I suppose I should have known that something was wrong when I came home one day and all the windows had been covered with black trash bags. His "employees" told me that it was to protect the windows from dust, but as it turned out, it was an attempt to hide the work from the building inspector because they never pulled any permits. It didn't work however, because the building inspector caught them without any permits and shut the job down. When I asked why I had been told that the permits had been pulled, I was told that the "flooring permit" had been pulled (There is no such thing as a flooring permit). Then the job sat idle for several weeks while NHCRS tried to scrounge up some actual licensed professionals on craigslist. The whole time telling me that their licensed employees were "busy on other jobs". When they couldn't find any professionals to pull the permits, their solution was to ask me to pull my own permits and say that a family friend was doing the work. When I threatened to fire them for their ridiculously sub-standard work, I was threatened with legal action. They told me that there is a "binding arbitration clause" in the contract that you sign with them to begin work, and I was told "we will take this to arbitration, you will pay for the legal fees, and you will lose." Essentially, they attempted to extort me to keep them on the job. Eventually I consulted a lawyer, found out it was BS, and fired them, but not before I lost a lot of money. I lost thousands of dollars because I'm an idiot and I paid most of the money upfront. Most of the work that his un-licensed, unskilled "employees" performed had to be completely redone after I fired them, and in the end, he had the balls to tell me that I owed HIM money! This experience was an extreme hardship for me and my family, I have been through many difficulties in my life, but this was by far, one of the absolute worst experiences that I have ever encountered. read more
