Shiv Contracting, Inc.

"This is a review of Shiv Contracting Inc, and the following is our opinion of the disappointing experience we had with this company. We met Shiv through Angi. He stated that he had tremendous experience in designing and renovating not only homes but also buildings. He showed us photos of rooms that he had worked on, and we were impressed with what we saw. On May 29th, 2022 we signed a contract with Shiv Contracting Inc. where Shiv agreed to furnish all the materials and labor to complete the job. There will be a six-month warranty upon completion of the job if anything needs repairing, they will take care of it. The job was to renovate the master bathroom and a powder room (½ bath). It also included renovating the master bedroom with an emphasis on redoing the ceiling which had water damage. The job was a timely process; it took them a little over three months to complete the job. The workmen would sometimes work a full day but most of the time they worked a half day. We are not knowledgeable about home repair/renovations so the work to us looked good. On July 11th, 2022 we entered into another contract with Shiv Contracting Inc to renovate our jacuzzi bathroom. In the contract Shiv agreed to purchase all the bathroom materials and supplies except for the shower tub, the frameless shower door, and the faucets. During the process of completing the job, he requested that we purchase the floor drain, the paint, and the hardware for the bathroom vanity. Later, we noticed that he installed a shower door for the master bathroom that was so flimsy that we requested its removal and immediately hired a shower door company to come in and install a better-quality door. We were also able to have them return two tiny inferior looking toilet bowls before they were installed. We became deeply concerned about the quality of his work when a workman for the shower door company stopped by to measure for the shower door in the jacuzzi bathroom. He asked us why the heating apparatus was installed above ground next to the bathtub. He further stated that leaving it above ground will result in it needing to be replaced within a year. Shiv was not pleased when we relayed our concern, but we insisted that it be placed underground as the worker had advised. The work was completed on September 2nd, 2022, and we paid him his final payment. A short time after we had water coming down into our kitchen from the ceiling. We also had cracks on the walls and ceiling of the master bedroom and an electrical outlet in the jacuzzi bathroom was not working. We contacted him about those issues; however, he was out of the country. A few days later he called and came by to do the repairs. After fixing the leak he accused us of owing him four hundred dollars for the vanity he had purchased for the jacuzzi bathroom. He stormed out of our home after we told him we did not recall any such conversation since it was not on the contract, and he was responsible for purchasing the vanity. He did not wait to even hear about the additional repairs needed on the work he had done. Later, we texted him about additional repairs that are needed and sent him several pictures of the cracks on the wall and the ceiling. We reminded him that our contract had a six-month warranty and we expected him to adhere to the contract. Despite several calls and text messages sent to him we have not heard a word back from Shiv Contracting Inc. It is disappointing to know that we entered into a contract with Shiv Contracting Inc, a business recommended by Angi to renovate our home and we ended up in this situation. He gave us a false sense of security by signing a contract with a warranty and in the end, he did not comply with it. We can say that we are completely unsatisfied with the quality of their work and will never hire them for any other job in our home nor would we ever recommend them to anyone."

"We are extremely pleased with how our kitchen remodel turned out as Shiv Constructing, Inc. was the very best! They were right on time always. Shiv and his staff was awesome. 5 stars and if we can vote 10 stars, we would. Thank you Shiv and your amazing team. Rita Marie & Charles"

"I brought my house in 2017 and I made a great choice choosing Shiv Contracting for new renovations. I dealt with four contractors prior to Shiv each and everyone I found over priced and unprofessional. I sat down with Shiv in his office and after that meeting I knew I was making the right choice. A 3 month project by estimate of others was finished in 1 month and a fraction of other prices I was getting. Highly recommended"

"As a realtor I buy and sell a lot of property. Being in business for the last 17 years the worst part of my job was finding a reliable contractor to do the work. For the past 6 years I’ve been so stress free since Shiv has been handling all contracting operations on my properties. Electrical Plumbing Carpentry anything I mean anything this guy can do it. Great contractor and friend."

"I had a serious plumbing issue where my basement flooded continuously. I didn’t know who to call and a friend of mine recommended me to call Shiv. Best choice I made he did an amazing job and It’s been 3 years since the incident and I have seen no signs of anything happening. Fully repaired in a short period of time . He even called after the job was done to follow up A class worker and great guy."
