Home depot of Yonkers and their subcontractor installed a kitchen for me and charged for work not complete. They where supposed to move 2 electrical outlets which they did not and they charged $572.00 to install a faucet!
See details below:
On the Kitchen Installation Estimate Worksheet section 3A states:
Double Receptacle Relocate $396.00.
I am sending you a copy of before and after pictures to show the receptacle is in the same place. I was told by the estimator that this needed to be moved or it would not pass inspection (which it did).
On the Kitchen Installation Estimate Worksheet section 4B states:
Install double/single bowl sink with faucet, disposal within 3 of existing location.
Installer provides shut off, traps, valves as needed. $572.00.
Silestone of NY, Home Depot's installer installed the sink as part of the countertop installation which I am sending you a copy of as well. No shutoffs where replaced, no valves etc.
On the Kitchen Installation Estimate Worksheet section 4Q states
Rework Plumbing in Sink Base. $220.00
That should be part of the operation of 4Q
With that in mind as well, Home Depot had to send no less than 4 people back to fix a leak due to incorrect installation of the faucet from the initial install of the faucet which Home Depot did, not Silestone of NY. $572.00 to install a faucet is thievery and I could have easily done it myself, however the installers/estimators use the It has to be up to Code and We have a better relationship with the City.
I am an extremely handy person, I had a hot water heater installed for $200.00 which is much harder than a faucet and if it not been a time matter I would have done that myself. Under item 9A, they wanted to charge $154.00 to plug the stove back in and slide it in place I did that myself. This simply put is price gouging.
The price for installing the cabinets was $99.00 per cabinet. More time was put into that than the plumbing work!
I had been speaking with Wendy from Home Depot for quite a while top straighten this out. A meeting was scheduled that I was unable to make due to short notice, Wendy was supposed to reschedule one for the following week but I never heard back.
