TaCor Building Solutions

Use this guy and his company at your own risk! We had an agreement with Ray Fitzgerald (owner and operator of Tacor Building Solutions) to do a multi-project renovation on our home starting December, 2023. The project was schedule to be completed within 3-4 months and we were promised a full work crew (4-5 guys) after the first week. We also agreed to make payments at the end of each week and we calculated the amounts to coincide with the projected completion of the job. From the first week, the job was not managed properly. We were lucky to have 1-2 guys on site each day and they often worked short days (4-6 hours). Ray only showed up sporadically each week and so things quickly fell behind schedule and the job was horribly mismanaged. This was discussed directly with Ray numerous times and we were reassured each time that it would be taken care of and the entire crew would be there soon. Day after day, week after week, this did not happen. After multiple $2,000 payments, we began pulling back on the payment amounts each week as it was obvious the job was way off the projected timeline which meant we were grossly paid ahead for work that was not yet completed. On March 15, 2024, Ray finally showed up with three guys – but not to work. Instead he packed up all of his equipment and left the jobsite without warning or discussion. I confronted him at the time and asked if he was going to refund the prepayments we had made for work that had not been done ($4,000 worth) to which he looked right in my face and said “No”. They left a huge mess for us to clean up but I guess he liked the project pictures he took along the way because they’re all over his Facebook page – we’re even the cover photo! We ended up taking him to small claims court and were awarded a judgment for over $4,300. As of the date of this writing we have not received one penny of our money back and don’t expect to at this point. So, again… hire at your own risk. It cost us over $4,800 (with attorney and court fees) and then we ended up hiring another company to come in and complete the job. Want proof? Look up our case in the Polk County public records - #2024SC003592000000. Also keep in mind that he has been unlicensed in the state for several years and is also uninsured.

TaCor did a bathroom remodel and kitchen update. In the bathroom --Worst finish work I have ever seen. Only one coat of paint on the door to the bathroom, the baseboards were NOT painted (they were already primed) You can see the joints in the drywall both along the wall and in the corners and ceiling. Wall paint on trim around window sill. In the kitchen, did NOT place the counter support under the post form top installed, so the counter flexes above the dishwasher, the splash was never caulked, or adjusted to fit tightly with the counter top installed. Installed a new vent hood above the stove, didn't secure the receptacle for the vent plug to the side of the cabinet, it's just lying in the corner, removed the vent pipe and placed a pieceof plywood over the fan --NOTE: it is NOT a reciruluating hood it vent OUT! There is much more I could write, but this is lengthy already. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone.
