Do not hire Capital Columns for Raised Panel Wainscoting! - Nov 16, 2013…read more Be forewarned that Capital Columns sub-contracts out Raised Panel Wainscoting work to a third party company (one man in a van) and are completely not involved whatsoever during the install period, in fact they did not even call or visit during the 2 day project. After the initial in home consultation and settling on a price, we paid a 20% deposit on our credit card (do not give them your credit card number). On the day of install, Oct 31, 2013, the sub-contractor who showed up was a contractor who I contacted myself to quote the same job (we didn't go with him due to his references didn't come in on time). Also note that Capital Columns quote was 45% more than the quote I received from the actual contactor who did our work. Another disturbing fact on the final day of install, (Nov 1, 2013) Capital Columns went ahead and charged the balance of the job on our credit card without our approval and while work was still not finished (that final day the contractor worked till 7:45pm). During the two day install not once did a Capital Columns rep visit or call to see how work was progressing and they still felt entitled to charge the balance of the cost without checking with us if we were satisfied with the work. After this terrible contractor experience, I contacted Herb (owner) to express my dissatisfaction and he said he would look into the job and get back to me. After 4 days of no response I called Herb again, and he said he could not do anything about their inflated price (saying; "I have a lot more overhead than a one man outfit operating out of van"), I can accept this to a certain degree but a 45% increase over the installers price seems grossly out of order to cover for his overhead, WSIB insurance etc. With this unsatisfactory experience with Capital Columns, I will definitely not be using or referring these guys to any of my friends or family, very unprofessional and quick to charge your credit card without any job closure or value added to the job.

I have been fighting with Nusite since September, 2016 in the hope they would step up and do the…read moreright thing by fixing the weeping tile job they botched in June 2016. I started with a damp basement and they gave me a WET one! Here are the nuts and bolts of how wrong their job went and the financial impact their carelessness has had. From the very first phone call after the flooding through all the months of stalls and flip/flops, Nusite has done nothing to actually fix my home. They offered excuses and contradictory reasons as to why the flooding was now happening ... Sure, they offered band-aid solutions ("We'll put in a sump pump for free.") Irresponsibly, they expected the foreman who lead the work to return to "fix" it (A "You Made This Mess" attitude) only firing him when months went by and nothing was done. Finally, they reluctantly agreed to a refund; however, they reneged on it a week later because they they didn't want to pay me back for the botched exterior work when my insurance company was now going after them for the damage caused in my INTERIOR basement: Damage and flooding that all inspecting parties agreed was caused by Nusite's poor work. At a financial burden, I consulted construction experts. I was told I needed to give Nusite the opportunity to fix their work, that the best I could do was to hire a structural engineer to assess and oversee their work and plan the repair. And so again, at extra expense, I hired the engineering firm recommended to me. After an investigative dig with the engineer and Nusite, the detailed report of November, 2016 was damning: Little to no parging; yellow jacket mesh, supposed to be encased, was left visible and not covered in the necessary water retardant; dimple boards had not adhered properly, etc, etc. The winter of 2016-2017 had Nusite and the engineer trying to hammer out a plan of action. But by May 2017, after months of too patiently hoping that Nusite would come through, I realized that they would only ever work on my property again with an eye to mitigating their financial losses. I had to start my research for a replacement company. I gave every prospect the engineer's report outlining how all previous work and materials needed to be removed and the whole job needed to be started from scratch. On Thursday, June 8th, a second weeping tile/waterproofing company finished the re-work of my house. They did amazing work and helped me document all the errors and deficiencies that Nusite left... Nusite is the worst company I have ever worked with both in quality, responsibility, and attitude. I have no confidence in Nusite and now feel they are only interested in themselves and their bottom line. Don't just walk away from them: Run!
