F Lax Construction Co

Find another company. I would give zero stars if possible. We waited four months for quote for bathroom remodel for handicapped accessability. In the meanwhile, my mother in law fell four times in her bathroom; thank goodness with no serious injuries. F Lax kept making excuses and telling us we’d have the quote in «two weeks.» Four months went by and we finally called Great Lakes Restore at 800.354.7545. Reliable and great quality. 3 weeks to start job after quote. Can’t wait to have a safe bathroom for my mother in law.

Although I can write a book on my experiences with this company, I will keep it short for the benefit of others. If you want to see the full complaint, go to BBB website and look up this company.
I mistakenly contracted this company to work on my basement for some renovations after water damage. My insurance company paid for the work.
The quality of the work is absolutely horrendous. I am not joking when I say this but I sincerely feel that small children can do a better job than this company. I don’t know where they hire the workers but prior experience doesn’t seem to be necessary. Everything that this company worked on is sloppy.
Roller marks on paint, crooked drywall lines, moulding crooked, crappy mud job on drywall, no corner bead used on drywall when it should have, carpet not trimmed properly, etc. I do not see one thing that they did professionally.
Also, they billed for work that they did not even do. They even charged for new materials when in fact they did not buy anything new and just re-​used the existing materials.
They took way too long to do the work. Any other company would have finished in a few weeks. This company took over 4 months!
The prices were also outrageous. I don’t know how this company stays in business.

I’d give negative stars if I could. Was required through an FHA mortgage to have a few small things done to the house to pass for closing. On that list was a section of 8 foot railing to be installed, 2 closet doors to be installed, a 1 square foot section of drywall to be patched, and a water leak fixed on my back door. Seems simple enough. Wrong. The price we were quoted was $ 1,423. For what?! And we weren’t at a point where we could shop around because we needed to close on the house in a week and a half. This was the beginning of December 2012 and they knew that. They knew that the bank was paying the bill up front and that we had to pay it back at closing. They told us the work would be done in a week. No such luck. The weeks went by and nothing. Then on Christmas Eve we decided to drive by and look at the house and guess who was finally there. A full week after our actual closing date. The hell with it I thought. At least try are FINALLY there. So now we are out the 1400 and another month of rent because we obviously couldn’t close on the original date. Oh well. At least the work is done… Wrong. The railing is there. But with how shoddy it was put in it has very large gaps in the metal that I alone have cut my hands on at least 4 times. i also researched pricing on this railing and 8 foot sections of it are for sale at Home Depot for $ 17. The closet doors are up (honestly can’t complain about those) the drywall patch is god awful. And the big thing, the water leaking in the back door. The door was cased in. And the most horrendous ugly sloppy caulk job around most of the siding around my door. I seriously look at it and imagine my dog doing a better job. The water still leaks in. Of course it does. I called the company to come out and look at it seeming as they did have to sign off on documents to the state and the bank saying that there wasn’t a water problem with the door. They send a guy out and he looks around and says, that’s too much roof for that small of a gutter! Ding ding ding! I’m sooo glad you figured that out now instead of when it was actually your job to fix it. Especially for $ 1,423!!! What is the company doing about it? Absolutely nothing. Absolutely. Nothing. Avoid this company at all cost. Because it will cost a lot.
