K Construction and Development Corp.

K Construction and Development aka The Kitchen Remodeling Co Owner Jacob Kligman AKA Jacobo Kligman The purpose of this review is to provide a detailed, fair and honest review of the service I received from Jacob Kligman and his remodeling company. I will highlight what he did right and what he did wrong. It is not meant to harm his reputation or future business, however an informed consumer can make their own decision whether to hire him or not. I hired Jacob to remodel my kitchen and master bed/bath for close to 100 thousand dollars. My experience with him and his company was exhausting, riddled with billing errors, charges for items not provided and extra charges never mentioned in the original contract. For starters the first estimate contained errors that amounted to thousands of dollars in overcharges. He did not provide proper supervision and did not take responsibility for mistakes along the way. He charged me for several large items which were broken or damaged by his crew. He also told us three months when the project took over a year. The cabinet installer was the worst. Unskilled and sloppy. He made several holes inside the cabinets trying to find the anchor points on the wall. Moldings and doors were misaligned and large gaps filled in with globs of caulk or not at all. Worst of all, he measured the space for the range hood too narrow and actually gouged out the cabinets to make it fit. This was fixed after he protested and tried to say I purchased the wrong size hood. Not what anyone should expect for the money Jacob charges. His crew had a few gems among them. Denis the tile installer is very talented and did a great job. The drywall work was excellent. Yvonne's design layout was on point. Some of his crew were sloppy, made a mess of my carport, did not cover for dust properly, piled garbage and food wrappings inside of my house which attracted rats. Jacob was very slow to respond to my concerns and a lot of the mess was cleaned up by me. His billing and invoice schedule was not as contracted or discussed. Some changes along the way were over billed, very difficult to follow and notice. I measured things myself only to find out he over billed me for plumbing. Many failed inspections led to unreasonable delays and significant increases in estimate. Jacob finally left the project when I demanded proof of these extra charges. He also refused to provide license information on some of his sub-contractors. Since he's left the project, I have had peeling paint, water leaks, loose plumbing fixtures and an electrical issue. Jacob has received other poor evaluations on Yelp, Houzz and other sites so I urge you to review these before making your decision to hire him. My evaluation is based on my experience with him and is factual backed up by dozens of pictures, videos, emails and texts. I have invoices from two other companies I had to hire to repair his shoddy work. He claims he gave me a good deal however, over a year of aggravation, overcharges and poor quality work is not a "good deal". I would not recommend him at all.
