Get matched with top cabinets installers in your area

"BEWARE. Mike Spitalli is very unethical. I trusted my gut on this one and it failed me. I signed a contract for labor only with him. I initially wanted him to demo my kitchen which included removing a coat closet and drywalling the wall behind it for cabinets and paint. Demo a half load bearing wall which would require a support beam and drywalling and paint, install a circulating exhaust fan, remove a click together floor and repair with a new manufactured wood click in floor. I also had a small wall in the dining area that needed to be opened up, rebuilt straight instead of angled. His labor only bid was $25,650. I was going to be provided receipts for all the building materials he provided and also had to pay those. I was providing and having cabinets and countertops installed through Lowe?s who are amazing so far. I had to pay his electrician, his plumber. My deposit to enter into a contract was about $ 3850. I rounded it up in good faith to $4000. Fast forward a couple weeks no work has started no permits just some drawings that I could submit to my association for approval. I decide not to remove the wall in rebuild it about 6? so it was straight and not angled for a beloved furniture piece. Tough decision but it seemed like too much mess with drywall, repairing the wood floor under it and painting that whole wall and possibly ceiling. I tell him to take that off and resubmit proposal. He says he can take $800 off!! What??? Out of 25k of pretty standard stuff other than that wall and load bearing wall, I?m only saving $800. I told him that was unacceptable and I would need to go back to my bids. He immediately cancels the contract and informs me I will get no money back. I was upset to say the least. I was under contract but we haven?t started anything yet. I told him I would write a scathing review all truthful. He immediately fires back that I need to back off or I will be charged with Extortion! He went as far as to call the police. I told the officer what happened and he assured me that posting honest truthful reviews is not extortion. I warned him! It was not a threat it was a promise. Now while I?m busy putting together a small claim case against him, he is apparently meeting with his ?legal team?. What happened here is a civil matter and no laws were broken. I asked him to send me a copy of the legal documents I signed and he has yet to produce them. I feel like I?m being punked. Wish me luck in small claims court. Fortunately everything is documented with texts and emails. The 30million dollar question. Why would he mind if I told our story in a review if he thought what he was doing was ethical. He accused me of trying to ?destroy my business and livelihood? His words, if he doesn?t give me my money back."

"I would highly recommend Mr. Herd for any project. He installed my fence which was not an easy project. He was ethical, kind, and very accomplished. I can not say enough good things about this man and his helper. He was flexible and he can modify projects if needed with an outstanding finish. He is a very kind man and lives his Christian faith and will never leave a project not done to satisfaction. I plan on hiring him to do some other in home projects. He is talented and very intelligent with an excellent work ethic."

"Platt could not have been better or easier to work with. He did outstanding work."

"Fast and complete service. Very friendly."

"The very best thing about Big Dave's is that he shows up when he says he will, he does the job we agreed on, and he cleans up after himself. Very different from any other GC I've dealt with in nearly forty years. Superior work at all times; fixes issues when required without question or demur. I'll have no other GC darken my doors ever again."

"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."
