We hired Chris Emily of Emily Contracting in May 2019 to finish our basement, a project worth about $30,000. This project was supposed to take 2 months, but after various delays and deceptions, Emily Contracting has abandoned our project 5 months after starting it. Emily Contracting framed our basement over the course of 2 weeks, but then did no work at all for 6 weeks. When we complained about this, small tasks were done here and there, but no real progress was made for several more weeks. Chris lied about picking up the laminate flooring, and after a month of calls from the warehouse, we had to pick it up ourselves. Chris communicated with us very little, and told us that certain tasks would be completed, but then made "executive decisions" and did not let us know when features would be delayed or not done at all. Our kitchen faucet was damaged and needed to be replaced, but Chris did not accept responsibility for this. When we made our next payment, Emily Contracting installed our laminate flooring, but then made very little progress with the baseboards, and did no work for weeks when it came to door and window framing, or bathroom tiling. We complained about this as well, and Chris became rude and confrontational. Then one day we came home to find that people had been in our house, had removed their equipment, and had left with our shower pan. It was at this point that we realized that after months of dragging their feet, Emily Contracting had finally abandoned our project. Because we paid in advance for work not done, and because they absconded with our property, Emily Contracting owes us $6,210, and this does not even include work that still needed to be done after the next payment. In short, Chris lied to us on several occasions, and delayed our project by months, only to finally abandon it. We strongly urge all potential customers to stay away from Emily Contracting, spare themselves much aggravation, and avoid getting cheated out of thousands of dollars.

Chris built us a new deck that is beautiful. His prices are very competitive, and communication was great. Very patient in the planning process making sure we were happy with what had been ordered. Could not be more pleased with the outcome!

Emily Contracting removed my existing deck and rebuilt a new one at a very fair price. Chris Emily was very easy to work with. The deck was rebuilt better than the old one. Dealing with rain at times and problems with material deliveries which was out of his control, Chris communicated with me every step of the way with updates by phone or text. His quality of work was excellent, I would recommend Chris Emily and would not hesitate to use him in the future for any home improvements. Great job.

Employed Chris Emily to build a deck to code and he unable to do so. I've made several attempts to contact him to correct with empty promises and now he does not return my calls.
