4Ever Remodeling

Avoid at all costs. After high pressure tactics, we agreed to pay 4Ever for design services for our large remodel, even though we already had a completed design. We agreed to do so solely on the representation from Damian that he would honor the labor and incidental materials quote that he had already provided based on our multiple, extensive discussions about the specifics of the project. I asked him in no uncertain terms, and Damian assured me, in person at my house, that he would not increase his price if we agreed to use their design services. Fast forward two months when the design was completed (largely due to my wife's efforts, not the designer's) -- Damian sends a revised quote that was nearly 30% higher than the quote he had previously provided and assured me he would honor. When I provided him the specific numbers to show this discrepancy and reminded him of his assurance he would honor the price he quoted us when we agreed to pay for design services, he did not dispute that he had promised to honor the price but attempted to accuse us of having an unrealistic budget. Of course, this accusation is remarkable, because Damian had provided the original budget to us based on detailed information that we had provided to him! Even more puzzling is that in attempting to persuade us to pay the ridiculously inflated new price, he informed us that even though they had signed contracts with clients for 29 other projects in the past several months, he increased the prices on all of the contracts in April, and others didn't cancel. Were we supposed to be reassured by the fact that 4Ever didn't honor its pricing on its other contracts? Needless to say, we did not proceed with the project with 4Ever.
