Poor Workmanship - Rude - Unprofessional

Don't be fooled by the smiles and assuming good customer service. In the end, you will find out that this company; Owner Ian Levy, is rude with bully tendencies. They DO NOT provide a worksite foreman and only partially manage the work being done. I had to act as the foreman of my own project at almost $100,000..WHY!!! For that money, he should have had a site foreman daily and attention to the quality of the work being done. Instead every day I came home I had to have mistakes and poor workmanship corrected. His workers smoke and throw cigarette butts around the property and often shortcut details. Make sure to take pictures of everything and every part of your project before you let them start any work because when you find something wrong, broken or unfinished your response will be, "Not my problem", "What do you want me to do", "it will cost you more money", "it was that way already". First Red Flag that I ignored because Ian came across as trustworthy was he offered a bid for the interior project solely based on what I wanted to be done and his visual oversight without inspection. He never looked at the existing wiring, only looked at the roof from the ground, didn't check subfloor conditions, didn't check for potential issues and only waited to find them before complaining about the extra cost to him to fix. Demanded final payment with threats of liens and lawyers before even checking to ensure the permits were finalized by the city. So if you want smiles, lies and unskilled workers that you could find at Home Depot working on your property, go ahead and hire them. turns out that the subcontractors hired by Sky to demo my old roof and replace it with all new material, did not cover the attic floor causing debris to ruin my attic insulation which now has to be removed and replaced and they did not nail the plywood into the framing of the roof. Over 95% of the nails used to nail the plywood to the roof were nailed into the slats running between the frame beams and not the frame itself. This is obviously improper. I'm still scared my roof could come crashing down, the house to catch fire from the wiring work they did and now my central air heater has a disconnected air tube I have to have someone come and fix. I have exposed nails now rusted hanging down below the eaves around the garage and house from the roofing job which Ian told me, "What do you want me to do", "Stop being cheap and fix your house and cover the eaves". Looking at these reviews they were small projects compared to mine which was a complete gut job of half the house removing a load bearing wall and chimney and the modification and support of another load bearing wall along with a complete install of a full kitchen with all electrical work done for the installation of all requiring wiring and finally the installation of LED lights in over 1000 sq feet of ceiling and a complete removal of the entire roof from the house and garage and reinstallation of new material. Now I have lots of headaches to deal with to make the repairs due to poor workmanship. State Contractors Board found most of the complaint valid and fine will be issued. BBB shows an "F" rating for Sky Renovation & New Construction. Complete nightmare. IAN LEVY sent me several insulting and harassing text messages and emails forcing me to file a police report....Also following another review: He sent his business partner; Tomas to my home to comfort me about my reviews and how it was costing them business attempting to get me to remove them. BEWARE!
