      Business and customer agreed on 12/22/2023 on ONE day bath installation and removal of old tub. Business then removed old tub on 2/14/2024 and realized they ordered wrong parts for new install leaving bare subfloor, water piping. Business then stated they will return with correct sizing. Business returned on 4/15/2024 to then break water pipe and could not finish install on that day. Water pipe then fixed and business returned on 5/1/2024. Product installation occurred but still incomplete. Business installed wrong color drain cover, unable to install shower ceiling panel, & Incorrect color wall panels and base installed upon agreement, project supervisor stated “our colors are off. I personally would not consider this grey.” After completion of install business offered -$1596.60 off total pricing and customer unhappy with agreement wanting 50% off of overall price due to malpractice , inconvenience, damages to home, and a still In complete installation. Business has been notified multiple times that customer is selling home and they are putting a strain on selling process. Customer attempted to call to discuss final pricing with owner on 5/1/2024 after project supervisor left home and was hung up on by operator.

      Thank you for the information on Complaint ID #********. We have actively been working with this customer to bring about a resolution. The customer has alerted us that there is a new homeowner moving in this week, the week of 5/6, and therefore did not want to wait on us reordering the panels or to fix the tiles in question. Therefore, we have presented the customer with a compensation effort that would leave their warranty in tact, and transferrable to the new homeowner, but also would provide them with compensation in effort to move on from the project as they no longer live at the property. This customer will not receive a 50% discount, as we have installed their product and remain committed to reordering anything needed as part of our warranty; however, they stated they did not want that option. We are diligently working with this homeowner to bring this to a resolution as quickly as possible. Thank you for the opportunity to respond!

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      The customer should not have to be pushing into a corner for sale of a home and exhaustion of waiting for a settlement. This has been a “one day” project that took 5 months. Customer is aware of offer to re order supplies but wishes for higher discounted rate and the settlement for new ordered supplies would not even apply to customer furthermore. The customer had to make a 3 hour drive multiple times for the company to break water pipping to not be able to continue project at time , to having a broken top shower panel upon delievery. This is unacceptable business. 

      Regards,

      ******* *****

      Thank you for the additional response on Complaint ID #********. Based on the nature of this type of install, we can't know if there are any issues with the lines until we are on property for the installation. At the time of the install, it was determined that new lines were needed as the current ones were brittle and breaking, and therefore the work had to be paused so that could be repaired. We recognize it created a delay for the customer but that work had to be completed in order for us to complete the install. We are fully committed to this project and the open work, but the customer presented a short timeline for resolution due to their move. We are happy to work with them on this and we will continue to reach out to the customer to get this to a resolution and can provide updates here as well. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

      Vendor refused to send itemized receipt showing the prices of each component installed. They installed a shower with an energy efficient window (in the shower) in my bathroom. I would like the price of the window so I can claim a tax deduction for it.

      Canceled an installation within the 72 hours buyer remorse period however I was sent an email stating that 7582.00 would be released to the Bath Authority.

      The funds from Upgrade have been refunded and HO should have no balance.

      Unfortunately TBA can't do anything about the credit report.  HO was given an estimate and wanted to finance the job so her credit was ran and was approved so the contract was written and signed by HO. Upgrade finances 70% of the contract price upon authorization.  TBA was funded $7,582.90 of the $11,666.00 contracted price.

      Contract was written on 9-5 and HO called to cancel on 9-7.  On 9-14 funds were return and account was at 0.

      I called today at 11:00 to speak to HO and give her the apology she requested, no answer LM.
