I’ve been lurking for a while, but we’ve just been through an awful experience with MyHome US (based in Manhattan), that I had to share.
Where to start…
All the work (gut renovation) had to be done two and three times, and we are 3 months (!) past our completion date. The cherry on the cake of our experience is that they had to install the counter top THREE times to get it right. Now the slabs don’t match and they refuse to take responsibility for it. I could go on, but in a nutshell – STAY AWAY. These folks are crooks!
Our experience was very similar to Nester66’s – one unbelievable SNAFU after the next. MyHome started our 2nd story addition in July, 2008, with Michael Palmentiero serving as the general contractor. Six months later Mayan Metzler, Pres. of MyHome US, took over after countless delays and inspections by engineers found numerous Building Code violations and health hazards. (Visit http://www.thirdfolio.com/myhome.html for pictures of the whole nightmare.) We’ve been forced to sue them for breach of contract, negligence and fraud. Thanks to MyHome, our home is in ruins.
We actually had a fantastic experience with My Home a couple of years back on a kitchen and bath job in Manhattan. On time and on budget and beautiful. Just goes to show how variable these things can be.
I found them by asking around. I think folks’ expectations are so low that as long as a contractor sticks around, it’s considered a “success.”
Ugh. Just found this thread: http://oneschemeofhappiness.typepad.com/home/2005/12/not_a_happy_pos.html
Help Me Howard is an interesting idea, though…hmmm…
