"RUN FAR AWAY FROM ALLIED AND TOM. Tom took my money and did not complete the renovations as per our contract. He lied about having a licensed electrician to do electrical work, it was just one of his workers who's not licensed. I paid for a dumpster and when it was delivered by tom it was already half full from another allied job and I was asked to pay the full amount of $950. Tom didn't listen to anything I said regarding the work I requested and he changed my design and did work that was cheaper for him. I was priced for one of my ceiling's to be ripped out and reinstalled with new sheetrock, Tom waited until I was away on business then he installed sheetrock on top of the bad sheetrock and told me he ripped out the old sheetrock and installed the new sheetrock, I found out when my EC cut holes to install lights and we found 2 layers of sheetrock preventing the lights from being able to be installed. Allied construction is a cheap, sneaky company who will steal your money and breach your contract. Do not hire these people Tom is a lair. Tom wore a gun in my house on his hip and told me "I use this to get paid by customer who don't want to pay". Tom left live 120v wires hanging out of the walls and ceiling, he removed a banister and didn't replace it for 3 weeks making my home very unsafe for me and my 9 year old son."

OZ General Contracting Co Inc. has an over 30 year extensive portfolio of incredible kitchen and bathroom renovations in Nassau and Suffolk County Long Island, NY. We are innovative, efficient, reliable, and we always exceed our client’s expectations.
"So I decided to remove the restrictor from my showerhead and the vent had trouble keeping up and removing the steam. The ceiling and walls were dripping water. I called Oz who had installed the bathroom to assist me and they were fantastic. They assessed the situation and had a manufacturer rep to test the unit which was fine. They then changed out the exhaust fan with a stronger one but there was minimal improvement. They then installed a dual-inlet unit and BINGO all was good."

"This was the worst experience i have ever had with a company. They came and damaged my house and kept us without AC for days. They admitted to the extensive damage and went weeks before attempting to repair it. The services were never fully completed and they were paid over 90% of the job. I disputed the last 10% and provided overwhelming evidence of their negligence. And after a year their last ditch effort was to send collections letters. Don't walk, RUN from this company. I will provide pics and my my experience to anyone who is planning on using this company. Used to be family owned and was amazing. Second they sold it went downhill fast."

Steam showers are worth the investment because they enhance daily comfort and can increase your home's value. They provide a luxurious bathing experience that promotes wellness and modernizes your bathroom. This upgrade can enrich your lifestyle and potentially boost your home's resale value by up to 30% when it comes time to put it on the market.
It costs about $0.50 to $1 to run a steam room or shower for a 20- to 30-minute steam session. This includes the cost of water and electricity, which will vary based on your local utility rates. So, operating your steam shower is a relatively affordable investment that you can enjoy without a high running cost.
To keep your steam generator running smoothly, you need to flush and maintain it regularly. Most steam generators have a built-in drainage system or a drain button to remove excess water after each use. By draining the system as recommended, you can prevent automatic shut-offs and damage, ensuring efficient, long-term operation.
To prevent mold growth in your steam shower, ventilate the area by running a bathroom fan during and after each use. Keep the shower door open when not in use to promote air circulation. Regular cleaning is important—spray surfaces with undiluted vinegar, let it sit for an hour, and scrub away any mold. This helps maintain a clean and healthy shower environment.
