Report
Matt and Warren from Thrifway gave a bid to drop a tub and install a shower for 2200. Almost immediately, they removed their masks even though we expressed our concerns because my wife is pregnant. After this, they proceeded to cut my door jam with an oscillating saw to fit the tub in the room despite my telling them that it could fit by removing the jam as I had to get the tub out. They installed the tub surround with massive gaps even though it is designed to lock in place.
When I pointed this out, Warren became aggressive towards me. After the job was finished, they left the faucet stem without a fitting on it so it was totally unusable. Matt came back and installed it, but once we began using it, the faucet has had a steady stream of water coming out when turned off. All this for a price tag of $2900! $700 over quote. He actually tried to charge me $3500. When asked to fix the leak, they said they don't warranty their work. If you want shoddy work at twice the price, choose Thriftway!
