    After working with a different contractor following the job we did with Cline construction, I can confidently say that this is not a company I would work with again. Some positives: the ladies who work there that I talked to on the phone for scheduling and other things were helpful and kind. The person that they contract out to build the Cabinets To Go cabinets was amazing and detailed and thorough.
    Other than that, there were SO MANY frustrating problems. Since this was our first renovation experience, we thought maybe that was just the name of the game. Now we know that it's not. First, they were able to get the entire kitchen torn out in one day. Then it just sat there for days with no communication about what work was to be done next, by whom, and when to expect them. Second, they installed a GAS LINE improperly on BOTH ENDS. We had to evacuate the house with our baby at 3am because our house smelled like gas. We had to call the gas company to come out. The guy from the gas company asked me, "Did you just have some friend do this work? This can't be done by a professional." When I called the contractor, he had no sense of urgency. He took his time getting there to fix it. They did waive the fee for the line installation, but the whole ordeal cost me a PTO day at work. Next, they installed the backsplash and it was jagged and chipped and not cut to the same length. The corners weren't straight. There were holes and cracks in the grout. They had to take 3 days to redo it. They paid for the materials, but the outcome still isn't that great. My husband heard the contractor telling the worker how to install the backsplash the second time. Why would they have someone do work who isn't trained in it? It was the same guy who messed up the gas line, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was his first time doing that, too! Unacceptable! Finally, there are soft spots in our floors because they "couldn't fill them in." They did not use any self leveler or anything before putting the floor down, so our fridge is at an angle. He did try to fix one spot of the floor when we said there was still a soft spot, but he just filled it with glue and we still have glue coming out from under the floor over 2 months later. There’s also clearly areas where they just put a very then layer of paint and didn’t check to make sure old paint was covered. My husband and I are fairly young, so it really just felt like they thought we weren't going to care that they did bad work. I think they assumed we wouldn't know better, and that's how I felt I was treated. Overall, I think the job took way longer than necessary and it was a very frustrating experience. Our kitchen looks nice from afar, but there are lots of issues we notice living in it everyday, which is extremely frustrating for how much we paid for the work.
