Unfinished work, poor quality, new plumbing leak, no warranty
I do not recommend Meadowland Group Inc for kitchen and bath reno. On my job,
> they did not finish contracted workscope (i.e. absolutely no appliances installed or even prepared for installation),
> poor workmanship (fridge water line valve installed in footprint of fridge preventing installation, drywall patches and corner seams unfinished and not ready for painting)
> damaged/leaking pipe behind shower wall (damaged when installing shower wall boards, found 2 mo after work done when shower wall warped)
> kitchen ceiling lights not installed as per contract
> a mismatched shower wall tile (off color and texture} was installed and left, even though there were 1.5 boxes of spare tile was available
> technician was consistently dismissive to women client,
> cheapest materials bought and used when not supplied by client
> absolutely "no warranty on cash deals", even with a contract.
Also discovered during shower rework by new contractor was significant debris left behind wall (including a bag of poop from when toilet out of service) and significant construction debris in the shower drain line which would have compacted and caused shower flooding in future.
My experience with Meadowland was not good and I do not recommend them.
PS: Their subcontractors for cabinets and countertops were excellent, but again, client had to recognize, decline and upgrade the cheap foil wrap cabinet doors which were not identified as such
in Meadowland quote.
However, the Meadowland Group Inc general contractors doing reno in bathroom and kitchen did not deliver contracted scope and provided no support when pluming leakage found.

My follow-up to the Meadowland Group Inc comments on this review as follows:
I had to negotiate deductions for unfinished and sloppy work at time of walkthrough. In retrospect, I did not withhold enough, but that's on me
Later, when I identified the discovery of a slow water drip/leak in plumbing behind shower wall, Meadowland Group Inc had choice to ...
a} investigate
b) compensate
c) deny all and attack the client
As apparent from Meadowland Group Inc comments below, they chose option "c, which completes my Meadowland Group Inc experience and solidifies my rating of 2/10 for this review.
It cost me an additional $32K with another contractor to complete, fix and redo the work done by Meadowland Group Inc
I have added pictures to my review, taken on walkthrough day which illustrate my review comments. If Meadowland Group Inc has pictures of complete appliance installs as they say they do, perhaps they can photoshop some into their pictures and they can share those.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $28,000.00

Please remove your false review. It is clear you have malicious intents behind your actions.
1. First off why did you not consult us when the issue was first initially noticed if you truly wanted to work together to come to a peaceful solution, you would contacted us right away and not 3 months after. You also brought in another contractor which was one of your personal contacts to ruin the integrity of our work without first informing us.
2. You did not provide a condo report nor bring in a licensed plumber to assess the issue to provide a report proving that the plumping issue was our fault.
3. Accusing our crew to use an out of service toilet to then disposing of the remains behind dry walls is ridiculous and absurd without any evidence to your claims. You would need to provide a forensic report to prove that the faecal matter indeed was from one of our crewman.
4. When you did not get your way, you started to harass and threaten our project manager (Asad) Provoking a negative confrontation. First trying to pressure a pay out of 5k, then threatening to sue the business, to lastly blackmailing through text that you will leave a “HORRIBLE and WORST” review possible. Not only have you affected Asad’s (Project manager) mental health but also his day to day productivity. (We have text proof of everything)
5. Your claim that Meadowlands is dismissive of Woman clients is absolutely false, we absolutely love servicing anyone and everyone, we have many testimonials and reviews from all our great clients and our Woman clients. It is evident all over our social platforms.
6. Your claim that absolutely no appliances were prepped for or installed is completely false when we had done a final walkthrough together before final payment (We have video proof of hooking up the dishwasher, sink and prepping for other appliances)
7. As the customer it is your responsibility to read through the contract and understand what is being signed, we also communicated and underwent several calls before finalizing on the contract. We have no hidden fees, no hidden clauses, it is a transparent contract.
