What is this?

What is this?

We display two types of written homeowner feedback on GuildQuality member profile pages: Comments and Reviews.

Comments

In response to our customer satisfaction surveys, homeowners share lots of comments about construction quality, communication, or any other question asked in the survey. Guildmembers can selectively publish these comments here on their profile page.

Reviews

Reviews are different than comments. These are star ratings that homeowners ask us to publish, and they come with a written description of the type of experience they had working with their contractor. We publish all of the reviews we receive: positive and negative alike.

The install crew was lousy, tore up my walls (beyond the normal paint scratches), everyone I dealt with had a terrible attitude like they hated their jobs, after dealing with them I now know why they hate their jobs. There have beyond lousy leadership. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else for for...

Great sales and initial scheduling support and coordination. The laser measurement and CNC cutting was acomplete disaster. Most of the pieces required major secondary cutting and fitting including cutting into the drywall to make the counters fit. The end result looks good, but this kind of work was...

I do not feel that I was properly informed in regard to what surface encounters is responsible for in relationship to existing tile in my kitchen.

Response from Surface Encounters

Jun 08, 2016
I am sorry that you didn't feel that you were properly informed that we were not able to grout between your existing tile backsplash and the granite backsplash. We do our best to educate our customers on the installation process, which is why we include that information in our paperwork and re-state it several times throughout the process. Grouting between tile and backsplash is specifically addressed in the paperwork. You signed and initialed that you agreed to those terms at the time of the sale. You were given copies of everything to take home, and your sales associate asked that you read over the information and contact her with any questions or concerns. We also re-stated the same information in your measure paperwork that you also signed and initialed. Since we do not work in tile, our installation crews are not capable of grouting tile. This requires training specific to tile installation.

I was very happy with the timeline, price, and customer service of Surface Encounters. I have 2 complaints; 1 is a gouge in the underside of the countertops after installation about the size of a dime. I found the gouge before the installers left and they filled the spot but you can still feel it....

Wrong bathroom sink and countertop delivered at home; cut out for kitchen sink in countertop was cut to the wrong dimension; trim molding on cabinets was damaged during installation of countertop

The work was outstanding and the finished product was beautiful. The crew showed up without the faucet we ordered and the final adjustment we received didn't seem correct. It was only after the crew left that I discovered that we were probably charged for back splashes we didn't order. I'm totally satisfied...

Overall I think I got a good quality product at a great price. Communication with scheduling was great. My rep was not as responsive. He did try to remedy some of the issues with that, but definitely could've been a little more communicative.

Answers from contractors near Macomb, MI

What trade is responsible for the installation of gutters on new home construction?

Brenda Hinz of Total Quality Construction PRO answered:

Jun 13, 2019
A gutter installer.  Some times a siding installer will, but usually it's a separate trade.
