Last December, I hired Manoj from JEMS Home Renovations to renovate my basement. Unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory due to serious oversights and questionable practices.
Before the project began, I raised concerns about water problems in the basement and specifically requested that these be resolved before installing the flooring. Manoj assured me the issue was addressed, but this turned out to be completely false. Instead of properly addressing the water issue, Manoj chose to cover it up to expedite the work and receive payment faster. He assured me everything was fine, but in reality, the basement was still wet.
It also felt like Manoj was rushing through the entire project. There was little attention to detail, and small but important touch-ups at the end were completely forgotten. Overall, the work felt very hurried and lacked the care and thoroughness you would expect from a professional renovation service.
As a result of his shortcuts and disregard for my concerns, when my tenants moved in, they discovered the flooring was soaking wet and damaged. The materials and labor were wasted, and I now need to completely redo the basement. This has caused significant inconvenience and additional costs. While the aesthetics of the work might have initially seemed acceptable, the lack of proper preparation and finishing touches has made the renovation unsustainable.
Overall, my experience with JEMS Home Renovations was deeply disappointing. I would caution others to ensure any contractor they hire fully addresses foundational issues, works with integrity, and commits to delivering quality work. Attention to detail, proper planning, and transparent communication are essential for any successful renovation project.
