Business ProfileforThe Shirley Group, LLC

We purchased a home in 2018 that was a massive fixer-upper, knowing that it was beyond our personal abilities to do ourselves. This is the fourth home that we have taken on in similar conditions. We did our due diligence, came up with our budget, and met with multiple contractors, architects, inspectors, etc. to see who would be willing to help us take on this project. After several meetings, we felt that The Shirley Group would be the best fit for undertaking this project with us. For the most part, we really enjoyed working with the Shirleys. They were responsive and worked hard to keep us in budget. I had to limit my review to a short amount of characters, but included the major issues we had after the fact.We had removed manufactured hardwoods and gone with their suggestion of putting down 5" oak true hardwoods in its place. Two days after the hardwoods went down, before staining, they started to warp and cup in multiple areas of the house. This was concerning a bit, as the wood had only had a couple of days to acclimate in the house, and it was when the (new) A/C had malfunctioned. The sub-contractor pulled up the areas that were warped and put down new pieces. The stain went down a day or two later, but again, the boards kept warping in those same areas. Over the span of the first year we were in the house, we had to relocate twice while they pulled up sections of wood, replaced, re-sanded and then re-stained. Each time they had to do so, the house was a disaster and required us to move furniture out, deep clean all the sanding dust, and move back in. The last time the subcontractors came back in, we found black mold under the flooring as it was being removed. The subcontractor never actually installed a moisture barrier on the slab, and had glued the boards directly to the concrete. This is a VERY abbreviated review but you can read the full details on our ****** review.
