I am thrilled to provide a glowing review for Vic, the contractor who recently installed vinyl floors in my home. Vic's work was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment he started the project, it was evident that he possessed exceptional skills and attention to detail. One aspect that stood out was Vic's expertise in leveling the floors. He meticulously ensured that every inch of the surface was perfectly level, resulting in a flawless and visually appealing end result. His commitment to precision was remarkable. Moreover, Vic's ability to make precision cuts was truly impressive. Whether it was intricate corners, challenging angles, or intricate patterns, Vic approached each cut with utmost precision and accuracy. The vinyl floors look seamless, and the precision cuts truly elevate the overall aesthetic of the space. In addition to his exceptional craftsmanship, Vic's professionalism and work ethic were commendable. He arrived promptly, maintained a clean and organized work area, and communicated effectively throughout the entire project. It was a pleasure to have him in my home, knowing that he consistently upheld high standards of professionalism. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Vic for any vinyl flooring project. His level of skill, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering outstanding results are truly unmatched. I am beyond satisfied with the final outcome, and I am confident that anyone who hires Vic will experience the same level of excellence and craftsmanship.

Update Jun 13 4 Stars Vic responded. He has since committed to completing all the remaining work to the agreed-upon standards. His recent responsiveness and commitment to rectifying the issues have been encouraging. I appreciate the effort Vic is now making to ensure the project is completed correctly. While the initial experience was far from satisfactory, his willingness to address the problems and finish the job is a positive step forward. I will provide a further update in the next two weeks once the work has been completed. I am hopeful that with this renewed effort, the renovation will meet my expectations and reflect the quality and professionalism initially promised. Jun 12 0 stars I regret ever hiring Vic (a.k.a. Hemwattie Singh) for the renovation work at my home. What began as an exciting project quickly turned into a nightmare due to Vic’s incompetence and unprofessionalism. Despite paying a substantial amount upfront for the work, Vic failed to meet even the most basic contractual obligations. The work that was completed was subpar, rushed, and far from what was agreed upon. Many tasks were left unfinished, and the quality of what was done was so poor that it now needs to be redone by a competent professional. The communication throughout this process was atrocious. My calls and emails were consistently ignored, leaving me in the dark about the progress and plans. Whenever I did manage to get in touch, I was met with a litany of excuses and empty promises. The lack of transparency and accountability was beyond frustrating. The situation took a turn for the worse when Vic completely disappeared for an extended period, claiming to have gone to South America. This left me with an unfinished project and no way to contact him for updates or resolution. It felt like I was abandoned in the middle of a renovation disaster. Now, I am facing the added stress and expense of litigation to recover my losses and rectify the shoddy work left behind. This has been an incredibly costly and stressful ordeal, and I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. I strongly advise against hiring Vic (Hemwattie Singh) for any renovation work. Save yourself the time, money, and mental anguish by seeking out a more reliable and professional contractor.

Vic and his team were terrific. Vic is a very experienced contractor- he is a real problem solver. Basically- he knows what he is doing - he is always willing to take a look at something and to try to figure how to solve it. We had a challenging leak from a deck into our garage and it required some careful investigation and creative solutions. Vic was thoughtful and thorough in his investigation and designed a solution that was both practical and economical. He and his team executed the plan carefully and effectively. They work quickly, clean up well, and go that extra mile. I highly recommend #1 flooring/ contracting- Vic and his team, without reservation.

Vic. Vic. Vic. I had such high hopes for us. My journey started first with another contractor. After my first contractor failed to complete the job due to a horrible demo and trying to rush through the job without acquiring permits, etc. I had to search for someone new. I was recommended to look on this app. And Vic was the only person on here in the 518 area that did bathroom tile and bathroom remodeling. As I said earlier, I had high hopes for us. Vic started out very enthusiastic. We discussed the job. He wrote us up a contract. He asked for payments to be split into thirds. And he made time available to start work pretty quickly. Due to the problems with my first contractor I had to hire a plumber and electrician to ensure those parts were done according to code. Upon completion of their piece of work, Vic was supposed to come back and fix parts of my walls that were not smooth. (see photos) Vic was also supposed to hang up the curtain rod, towel rack, and complete the trim around the bathroom floor. Now I want to point out, Vic isn’t the craftsman here. He has a crew who are very attentive and polite. And the work done as far as sheet rocking, waterproofing and tiling was very impressive. (See photos.) The problem arose, when Vic asked for the third and final payment for the job. I told him I didn’t have a problem, giving him a postdated check in order to ensure that he would come back and complete the things we had discussed. And Vic agreed saying it wasn’t a problem. I have the texts. What happened next was, Vic decided to deposit the check and then decided to be non responsive for the next several days. I messaged him several times to make sure that he’d be coming back to complete the work. When he responded several days later, he told me to check my contract because he did not specify the trim, door stop or curtain rod. So I wound up having to figure those out on my own. I also realized the tiles I used were not were not smooth tiles. He had tried recommending I get new (smooth) tiles, but I was pretty adamant on the look I wanted. As a result, there was a film of grout left all over the tiles. And then was told that I could wipe them down with a sponge. I can’t say the work itself was shoddy. Again, please see the photos. But I will warn that if you want Vic to complete your job, do not pay him his final payment before understanding the job is complete. And make sure everything you want is in the contract. I didn’t really want to write this review. I had hopes of him doing another bathroom and my kitchen. But I thought people should know.
