    Status:
    Resolved
    Maxwell Building Services employs very deceptive practices in preparing initial quotes to be awarded a contract, and then dramatically increases the costs -- by over 65% in our case with no change in the scope of the project. Timing estimates are equally deceptive with original estimates of **** weeks that will now be 24 weeks or more for a kitchen and family room remodel. The initial deposit was paid on 4/22/2022 and the job will not be complete until January 2023 at the earliest. They have left us without a functional kitchen for five months, with periods of seven weeks with no work being done. The soffits above the kitchen cabinets needed to be rebuilt due to the higher cabinet height, and we were charged $3,425 for this ($2,500 plus markups for project management, fuel surcharge, overhead and profit), which we complained was excessive, but reluctantly agreed to pay. Now that the cabinets are installed, two of the cabinets protrude beyond the soffits, and we were told it would cost an additional $2,229 to correct the error so that the crown moldings on the cabinet tops will be flush with the soffits as originally agreed. This is completely unreasonable, and we refuse to pay anything for this correction. The project management and customer communications have been horrible throughout the project.

    Maxwell was contracted by *********** who made a mistake and caused a leak in our basement. Their fix caused a SECOND leak in our basement, and Maxwell was contracted to do the mitigation and repair. Mitigation was easy and the owner was easy to work with. However, once we got into repair work, it became a nightmare. Our project manager wasn't able to communicate with us effectively, ultimately storming out of our house. It took them almost 6 weeks from the leak to get started on repair work and they started work prior to sending the plumber a quote and prior to talking with us about the quote for any additional upgrades (we were going to move from carpeting to vinyl planks). Suffice it to say, their quote contained multiple inaccuracies that they couldn't communicate clearly about and ended up with us stopping their work and looking for another vendor. On the plus side, the drywall repair they _did_ complete was well done. Unfortunately, it wasn't completed and the rest of the process of working with them was extremely subpar.
