The designer was later let go/or quit and then my experience became worse. Cabinet sizes were wrong and cabinet style were wrong. They never checked the blueprint to get the right cabinets installed. Communication with the owner, Joe, was awful. He was basically yelling at me about the timing of finishing install. it was a HUGE cluster that should've taken 2 weeks instead it was 2 months. The bookkeeper kept hounding me for payment and I had to keep telling her that I wasn't going to pay anymore towards the project until it was finished. The installer(s) didn't;t clean-up after themselves, either Lack of professionalism , Bullying and high costs should be enough to keep anyone from using them.

Overall a bad experience…read more We chose Commercial Residential Aluminum (CRA) for positive experience 10 years ago, with good CRA lanai cage still on our property. But this lanai extension and patio paver project was poorly managed administratively. This caused us issues and extra work/cost. The project was slow to finalize contract taking weeks; review delayed as CRA has e-mail domain issues; needed to correct several errors they made. Coordination for the patio paver work was weak. We had to direct obvious items ourselves, including connecting / continuing existing drainage (that was part of contract) and removing/reconnecting obsolete drain pipes; (all part of contract). Most concerning, CRA ordered the wrong pavers: initially attempted to place that blame to us, and only acknowledged the mistake when proven otherwise, our grey color choice in writing twice. This color issue finding occurred on paver installation day - 3 weeks into the project. We were told correcting the paver color would delay the project another 3-4 weeks for new paver delivery (an unknown). This was rough to hear after the job had already been put on hold by CRA merely because we asked to be included in any cost change requests. Trust in how they'd treat us now was low. CRA putting our job on hold caused distrust. Left us little choice but to proceed under pressure with the wrong color material. (I.e. Duress; wrong decision!) There was also no meaningful accountability for this paver error. We incurred significant out-of-pocket costs for trying to fix their error by staining, sealing, and the labor to correct the pavers. No compensation or acknowledgment was provided in the end. CRA denied helping or paying the labor needed to do the project (that's the real cost). But glibly advised they'd pay for the bottle of stain. These communications have been awkward to say the least. To elaborate on CRA change-order handling: Our project was paused for a week (put "on hold" by the office manager until we Docusigned agreement to pay) solely because we justifiably requested to be included in any change order discussions / cost increases and receive proper documentation. They states ours is a "retail job" and we did not warrant being included; charged an additional $450 related to the footer digging / stump hole filling work that was double billing. Disappointing because prior guidance from CRA was that the trench could remain as-is. We had already a paid other contractors for this added work so did pay double. We asked for a copy of that $450 invoice or payment of that invoice. They denied providing it to us which is suspect. The final bill has been sent to us by CRA with out this. Paver install was via a subcontractor too I found issues with footer to paver connections that would have caused large delays if not seen. Later undercut landings I had to repair myself. We waited for a week for the paver team to finish the sanding pavers (it took 45 only minutes); but this delay negatively impacted other work we tried to accomplish such as the color issue - not allowing us to get labor help. To their credit, the aluminum cage installation itself was well done - final inspection quality was lacking. It required follow-up work was done well. DO FULL INSPECTIONS! Overall, this project involved poor communication, lack of coordination, and questionable billing practices. Operationally the team did follow through swiftly to address the inspection concerns and minor issues observed after job completion and we appreciated that very much. Not the level of professionalism we expected. Rating 2 is based on not trusting the company, being boxed in by CRA on decisions that we ultimately regretted. It should be a 1. But the ops team tried hard. Final: CRA just wanted their money. HOW they operated seemed less important than getting STUFF DONE. Photos : tan pavers vs requested charcoal grey. cage install with dyed pavers (first of several tries to fix ourselves). door kick panel popped open. Inspection findings.
