Absolutely Best Contractor

I hired Absolutely Best Contractors in December of 2012, to repair my house after hurricane damage from Hurricane Isaac. I should've known something would go wrong when it took them a week to obtain a permit. The work has been sporadic and slow, but I was willing to overlook it as long as it got done. The work is beyond subpar. There are painfully obvious paint lines on my walls, paint all over my baseboards, sheetrock mud is splattered across all windows and surfaces, including on my floors, which were never cleaned, they just laid butcher paper over it and maybe hoped I wouldn't notice. The counter tops they installed are not attached to the cabinets, nor are they calked. They did not put in shelving in closets that we had long discussed, they haven't even installed the cable outlet in one room, so there's a huge ugly sore of an open wound. Power outlets aren't covered, the cable outlets that are covered are crooked. My front door won't even stay closed unless it is locked, and the lock won't even lock all the way, so my home is in real danger of being BROKEN INTO. There are more issues, but this is as far as I can go with character limits.



I asked Saturday, January 19th, for a final bill showing how much was still owed to them. They said they would bring it Monday. On that Saturday, an installment from the insurance company came through the mail. Because I wasn't home, the contractors felt perfectly comfortable OPENING MY MAIL. So, yes, they certainly did come back Monday. They took the signed check, a note telling them what had not been done, and did no work whatsoever. The main contractor came Tuesday because "he left something there", said they'd be back Thursday. It is now Monday the 28th of January and I still have heard nothing.This is absolutely insane. I've now blocked off my back door because they still have my house key and I DO NOT want them back in my house. I have to hire a new contractor to fix what they have done and not done.



They called this morning, and when I returned the call, a) they didn't even know who I was, and b) they said, "Oh, we'll be over there-" Really? It's 10am on a Monday, and you're not there trying to work. Also, I left you three voicemails over the span of four days explaining I was not going to be paying you one more red cent, and that I wanted my house key back.



Great job with that one.
