Shor Construction

Terrible ... they never did what it said in the contract, I signed on my computer because the rep didn't have one of his own. HIs team did not complete any job, two of which I was charged, and then the extortion began. I would love to sue these people, however the only attorney who would ever take a case like this tells me it would be a civil complaint and these guys are criminals. So ... civil vs. criminal LAW? I rest my case for the time being. I was totally ripped off. It would be a case of a crime against an elderly woman. (citizen). So ....why are these guys in business?

Beware!! I'm quite confident this company is simply out to scam people and get deposits for work they promise and will never deliver. I sincerely doubt that any of the positive reviews on here are real. My experience was with Joel Schrager, and to say the least it has been horrible. I could go on and on, but will try summarize as best I can: I paid them $2,500 to have Shor come up with a design and a floorplan, which was to be approved by the city to get a permit for the work to be done. I had to continually follow up with them to find out the status and push them to get anything done. They finally submitted to me an initial design plan. They then had to have some things modified in order to get the permit approved by the City. Now I have been told that the permit is ready to pick-up which is great...However, Joel Schrager at Shor will not send me the finalized plans and the structural plans for the project. I was also originally told a rough estimate of what the project would cost. After not providing me with finalized plans, Joel then went on to tell me the actual cost would be 50% higher than the original estimate. After insisting that he still provide a quote for the work to be done, I was never given a quote, since he claimed Shor is too busy for the next few months. I advised that I was not in a hurry for a quote, and to still provide me with a detailed quote and to provide me with the finalized plans. He has never gotten back to me. Now after paying Joel $2,500 for a deposit, all I have to show for it is a simple PDF design. Any other contractor that actually ends up having to do the work for this project will need to have actual plans drawn up separately and approved by the city, which will likely cost another $2,500 or more. Avoid the headache and save your money...Stay away from Joel Schrager and Shor Construction.

Shor Construction responded to inquiries very quick and truthful. Their team showed up on time each day, completed extremely high-quality work, and took the time to clean up thoroughly afterward. Shor Construction is definitely not the cheapest you'll find, but if you want top-quality work that finishes promptly and predictably then go with Shor Construction.

The quality of work is outstanding. Before, we had an old, decrepit brick patio that came with the house; now, our patio is beautiful, a wonderful place to spend time together, that also increased the value of our home. We are very grateful to Shor Construction.
