I've have been in a house that HomeGirl has flipped. I couldn't believe the horrible workmanship.
Your first impression is, " very nice, pretty " but when you look closer you realize it's all smoke and mirrors. I realize the house was a flip, but if this is any indication how this company works, stay away from them.
Some examples; none of the floors were levelled before installing a new laminate floor. As I was walking around the floor made a big cracking sound. That part of the laminate was not even touching the sub floor! It was like a bubble. I found this in many spots throughout the main floor. My advice to the new owners is not to serve soup to your family or your guests!
The grouting of the kitchen backsplash is completely cracking, and was never sealed. The dry wall work is beyond bad. My opinion is the work done in this house is the work of hacks.
My advice is stay away from this company.
Just to let you know, HOMEGIRL Renovation Management & Design, I do know a little bit about construction,and your company falls short.
You are extremely defensive, and yet you failed to address the biggest issue I had........Why wouldn't a home renovation company LEVEL floors before installing a FLOATING floor system????????
P.S. the tiles that I saw were NOT sealed. By the way care, to explain the 1/8 inch gap where the kitchen countertop was joined and filled with silicone? Quite a unique technique. I Can honestly say I've never seen it done before. I stick to what I said before, stay away.

Hey Lulu, great feedback! Next time we install a 'floating floor system' I will absolutely insist on nailing it to the subfloor, those crazy installers - what were they thinking? Bubbles indeed! 'Big cracking sound?' that would take a large amount of weight to accomplish on a basically plastic 'floating floor system'. It almost sounds like you did serve soup to your family or guests there, such an oddly specific comment . . . hmmmm.
Are you one of those BIG ol RSI's?? You know 'Renovation Scene Investigators? Did you take a forensics kit in with you? No? If you had you would have found the backsplash was indeed sealed, but the naked eye can fail us:) Grout cracks, welcome to the real 'humid' world. I live in a 2 year old home, and there is cracked grout, funny I never thought of publicly attacking the builder over it though, thats certainly one way to spend your precious 'enlightened' time.
Drywall? Perhaps you were looking at the original plaster and do not know the difference, not all walls were replaced. We spent over $90,000 for that renovation (a 'flip' is considerably less)next time you do one I'd love to see your work, obviously I could learn from your expertise, like nailing down that pesky 'floating floor system'.
Thanks again Lulu Riverbarrel . . . more SOUP please!!
