Recap General Contracting LLC and Elite Painting

We would not recommend this company. Hired them to paint our house and some do some repairs. The bottom line is they don’t show up when they say they will and they don’t do the work they say they will. If they had just been hired to paint the house and do repairs, they might have been ok if we stayed on them to complete the work. We needed our bathroom remodeled and they said they could do it. They started it before they finished the house. They demoed the bathroom, and took short cuts on removing a cast iron vent pipe. Then their plumbing was like spaghetti and they plumbed the toilet to try to flush up hill. I had to call in a licensed plumber to fix their mess and the company owner of Recap then accused me of playing games and basically told me he was done with the job, get someone else. He actually did me a favor. When the plumber and contractor we hired came to see the bathroom, they just shook their heads and said how sorry they were we got involved with this company. The city plumbing inspector said the same thing. The owner of Recap tells you one thing, then the crew comes and does whatever they please, however they please, whenever they decide to show up. Sloppy work and poor attention to detail. They left us without a shower for weeks and left my disabled wife without access to a toilet for several days. There is still masking tape on the house they apparently couldn’t be bothered to take down. I’m so happy we cut ties with Recap when we did. I gave them the opportunity to come and talk to me and talk about the possibility of them finishing their work, but they have chosen not to do so. Once you see real professionals work and compare their work to Recaps, you can see the difference. Remember the sweet taste of low cost is soon overpowered by the bitter after taste of poor quality. I’m sure there will be a rebuttal to my review making it out to be my fault, or claiming they don’t even know me. If you have questions you can contact me via social media. I can also recommend a reputable plumber and contractor. I'm sorry it came to this Michael, but you had plenty of chances to make things right.

This doesn't even deserve one star

He'll take all of your money, half ass the stuff they do (if they show up at all) and leave majority of the work unfinished or not started at all.

We had hired him to do some insurance work for our roof, siding, and gutters. Also hired him to do some personal work for us remodeling our main bathroom, completely repainting our house, fixing broken boards, painting inside, putting up new drywall in several areas of our house, and fixing our porch including fixing boards, painting, adding stairs, and fixing the cement.

We signed the contract and gave him around $25,000 total between the two contracts. I know, I know, it was stupid to give that much up front. Lesson learned.

They started the demo on our Bathroom on December of 2023 and it wasn't finished untill may of 2024. 5 months we went without a working bathroom. 5 months we had to find other places to shower. Oh, and did I mention I was pregnant with twins during all of this? Yeah, it was a great time going up and down stairs in the middle of the night. We were told it would take a couple weeks for the work to be done. And then it was another couple weeks and so on. The original deadline was supposed to be March but he kept saying that he's waiting on supplies to come in or his guys are at a different job or he's just short staffed. Always an excuse never a soulution. Majority of the material weren't ordered in October like it ws supposed to be so that's why things werent done when he originally said. The trash from the demo was left in our backyard untill July and they couldn't even be bothered to get it completely cleaned up. My kids were finding pieces of the broken tub and glass.

When they did the bathroom demo the water wasn't properly shut off and leaked into our kitchen and basement stairway over night. Ruined the kitchen ceiling and ended up causing mold damage in the stairway. Michael was made aware of this and told us he would fix it. So far nothing has been repaired. The work that was done on the bathroom isn't great. A lot needs fixed.

The work on the outside is just as bad. They didn't scrape very well so paint is already starting to peel off, the boards that should of been repaired weren't. They paint they did scrape was lead based paint and they didn't take any precautions for that, storm windows were broken and not put back on correctly,
The porch was never done.

When asked about the roof being done it was the same excuse as the bathroom. Either no help or they didn't have the materials yet. We have multiple messages of him saying they'll get it done. The last time we asked about it he told us all the money was gone. Yup, you read that right. Completely gone. He asked for another $9,000 and said if we paid him he'd do everything that needs done. We even had our insurance agent explain to him that that isn't how it works. You get part upfront and the rest when the job is done. He told our agent that he'd get it done in a week and to no one's surprise, it never happened. We ended up having to pay another contractor to do it so we wouldn't lose our home insurance.

He now isn't responding to emails and has done nothing to try to fix this mess.

Tell your friends

This is the worst company ever!
Redoing a home, they use used products for the home and charge new price! The owner Mike, doesn't allow his employees to work regularly to complete the work! He yells at customers and makes threats when they have complaints. The employee's obviously don't know how to do anything other than painting! Any other work is always messed up and causes issue's!
None of these people know how to do anything that's involved with remodeling a home!
Do not hire this company for anything other than painting!

I couldn't be happier with the work michael and he's crew had done for me.. I've been looking for someone to do some drywall at my new place and I got hit a home run with these guys I fly recommend.m

Took a little while to get the job organized and scheduled. But they showed up when they said they would be starting the job and did excellent work! Very happy with the results.
