  In April of 22, ********** recommend the company for water restoration. A scope amount was sent to the insurance of 19,000 for all repairs and cupboards. I added some additional changes. Cade the original salesman quoted me 21,300 for entire project. The gray screen on his tablet had me sign for the job, and full payment was made for a complete kitchen. Months went by, many messages exchanged and on hand. No one was scheduled to complete the drywall, ceiling etc. ********** recommended that I fire them. I hired a contractor. He completed my project leaving ******** to simply install cupboards. I allowed them to do the cupboards because they were ordered and at ******. I felt this was right. No other work was done by ********. I was told there would be a refund at the end because they did no other work. I even allowed them to install the wrong cupboards because I wanted it over with. 6 months of it. After doing nothing but installation of cupboards, they handed me a bill for an additional 8k. They showed me a receipt rolling the scope into my 21k quote. There is a blue box added after my signature making it appear that I agreed to a job totaling over 40k. They simply installed mid grade cupboards, and no other work was completed by them. I have a new breakdown in hand that they added over 9k in charges for the cabinets and install. This was created by them after the fact.
  I never signed for 29k in cabinets. They have now retained an attorney to collect the amount they consider due that is clearly fictitious. I requested help from *********** They declined. I now have to seek an attorney within 30 days, or be scammed by this company again. I would like a refund for work not completed, and the additional charges dropped. I only agreed to a 21,300 complete kitchen install. I paid the new contractor 13k to do the work that ******** was paid to complete, and did not complete. I feel 8k should have been returned to me after the cupboard installation was completed as promised.

  We are a restoration company and our contract states "Agree to the Scope & Pricing Agreed On with the Insurance Company Including Any Supplements and/or Change Orders Agreed on With the Insurance Company and/or Homeowner"  I have included a signed copy of the contract.  The insurance only paid for a partial replacement of the clients cabinets.  The client then decided to replace additional cabinets above and beyond what the insurance company was paying for.  CO#1 reflects this transaction.  We issued credit for the amount allotted by the insurance company for the cabinets totaling, $7,895.69 and charged $29,095.69 for the cabinets selected by the client.  This resulted in a net CO of $21,200.00 representing additional out  of pocket above and beyond the insurance proceeds. The client also requested to do flooring that was not included in the original insurance estimate.  This is reflected in CO#2.  The total of the flooring portion was $7,808.13.  The client then also requested some additional framing to be done in her home and insulation added.  This is reflected in CO#3.  The insured then requested some additional work that was on the original insurance estimate not to be completed.  This is reflected in CO #4.  The client agreed to and signed all change orders .  The "Summary of Total Project Cost" on CO #4 which was signed by the client clearly reflects a total project cost of $40,199.05.  This reflects exactly what was billed to the client.  The cabinets installed are the cabinets selected by the client with the cabinet supplier.  The client saw the cabinets before installation and did question that they were the proper cabinets.  We confirmed that they were the cabinets selected by reaching out to the supplier.  We at that time, offered to not install the cabinets and the client chose to continue with the installation of the cabinets.  The notice sent from our attorney to the client as due to the fact that she informed us she would not be paying our invoice.
