We contacted Countertops by Nathan in the first week of May 2017. Nathan came to our home for an estimate and consultation as to what we were looking for and we went over our options such as a corner cabinet, new sink, countertop, pantry, and valances for the stove area and over the sink. Nathan showed us samples and booklets of styles to choose from. We chose our kitchen based on what he offered through these tools and through verbal instruction. Needless to say, and sadly, we found out that we were somewhat "small potatoes" for this contractor. We had a very tedious time in getting a start date from Nathan after giving him 60% down, and when we continued to press for times and dates, the process seemed to slow down even more. When we finally secured a date, July 10th, this too was moved out further and Nathan blamed the distributor. He claimed that "They've had an employee walk out which is why your cabinets haven't been shipped."...Little did Nathan know, that we had been in touch with River Run a few times. They had never had any such "walk out" with their employees. When the job DID finally begin, we got nothing from this contractor that we spoke about or agreed to in full. Instead, we received shotty work and stretched out time constraints in that his work was full of excuses in being done correctly and in a timely fashion. When we cornered Nathan on issues arising, he insisted we had ordered what had been installed so far. But what we had ordered and discussed in the first place, was nothing that even resembled our wishes. We got mismatched valances in color, and when he realized his mistake, he tried to make a valance out of spare parts from the truck! Nathan strung us along for 13,197.00 over a 12 week period. He used stock cabinets he already had from the line we wanted on some of the the work - The kick plates under the cabinets didn't fit the space between the floor and the cabinets themselves - He left spaces in between cabinets that allow heat/air conditioning to escape from - and most of the trim work was left undone. We also didn't receive any of the cabinetry that we thought we were buying such as our corner cabinet, and a self standing pantry... We DID receive things we hadn't even wanted or asked for, such as the monstrosity surrounding our refrigerator . We had to have someone REBUILD the shotty window ledge he laid the new sill on as it was packed full of silicone and wouldn't dry. Nathan charged us 450.00 for the new window sill which should have been included in the price and done right in the first place (yes we did sign off on that, but we THOUGHT it would wrap around the corners like a window sill does). It was a piece of backsplash we had ALREADY PAID FOR. Therefore, Nathan padded the bill for another 450.00 claiming that "that is my price for tear out and installation" ..Trust goes a long way when it comes to agreement and customer service folks. But it also gets broken and torn down very easily when lies and the holes surrounding those lies continue to grow. We've called in another contractor to fix the work that Nathan and his "crew" just couldn't seem to muster. Nathan flat out refused to correct his work except for the receptacle he installed poorly in which I had gotten a shock from when trying to put the switch plate on . He claimed he would have to "Start charging us for "custom work" !!!! Apparently, this job was too small for Nathan to care about. This is really too bad as we really really liked Nathan at first. We quickly found out that MONEY was his priority. We were not. The new contractor we've hired to straighten everything out is just as perplexed as to why some of these things were done the way that they were. Nevertheless, we sincerely wish we could have given this contractor a better review.
