Veatch Custom Cabinets

Impressive website and Facebook page. But, buyer beware. Mike is not what these site portray.
Project: Hang pre assembled cabinets in kitchen, attach counter tops, sink, cabinet doors, drawers and shelves.
Kitchen size: 8’x 6’
Price $ 500 to complete the project in one day, cash
When Mike arrives, the project was spelled out and agreed upon. I was to leave him to work a lonely, stopping by twice. Once on the way to work and on the way back to inspect and pay.
The first visit looked ok. although he said the ceiling was crooked which is why there was a crooked gab spacing the top of a cabinet.
Several phone calls throughout the day, discussing various topics, including whether to swap the sink out with a larger, two basin one or not.
i fell ill and went home sick. So, my wife took off early from work to meet him and give him $$. She was to inspect the kitchen. But, received a call from Mike saying he had to leave early because he forgot about his sons’ birthday and had to leave without calling us.
I received a call from my wife as she poked her head in the unit and saw the sink wasn’t installed. Mike said he was missing a clip, even though there was a lowes 1.2 mile away, so it prevented him from completing the work.
Wanting his cash right away, i had to meet him in the morning in a Target parking lot :/​. Sick, i was still unable to get to the unit to thoroughly inspect his work.
Weeks later, I had time to continue working on the unit. When arriving, I found crackheads living in the unit. They said they got in through back sliding door, which was open. The police confirmed there was no forced entry and due to locks on the windows, the back door must’ve been left unlocked. Mike was the last person to use the back door when using his on the patio.
This resulted in a loss of all my power/​hand tools, belongings and everything of value.
The issues with the cabinet install were as follows:
1. unevenly mounted cabinets
2. Sink not installed .the «missing» clips were there.
3. shelves not installed in any cabinets
4. Cabinet spacing for oven off by ¹⁄₈^th inch, preventing oven from being installed
— All cabinets will need to be reinstalled or additional small cabinet to purchased/​installed.
5. Upper and lower Cabinet spacing for refrigerator off by 1″, allowing refridge to be installed but can’t open door.
— All cabinets on side of kitchen will need to be uninstalled/​reinstalled
6. Edge of lower Cabinets were partially installed on top of carpet by 1″, making countertops uneven and very difficult to replace carpet.
— Will need to unmount counter tops and cabinets to cut/​remove carpet.
7. Cabinets over hang wall by 1″
8. Didn’t install final cabinet over fridge
9. debris from cutting counter top, along with boxes/​packaging from ikea cabinets were left in unit. This left a horrible mess.
I have pictures of all of this, in case anyone would like to see this catastrophe.
When all is said and done, most of the cabinets will need to be unmounted and remounted. one side will need to be completely redone, including removing track for upper cabinets and remounting, then re hanging cabinets.
This will cost me considerably more than the $ 500 that was paid to this poser.
These problems were something an entry level cabinet installer would know and account for. We’re still in the recovery process, but we will be litigating Mike and his company.
