Dealing with Hanson's has been a nightmare.
We decided to go with this company for our new bath and shower that we have waited over 20 years to do. We had all the confidence in the world in this company and wow, what a huge disappointment! Actually, a disappointment is an understatement. It has been a complete nightmare. The initial install began back in November 2022 and now it has been 6 months later and like 4 or 5 "repair" visits and it is still going on. Yes, some of the issues have been repaired but each time there are still issues that keep going on and on. First of all, this company has a BAIT AND SWITCH way of doing business. Their salesman told us exactly what we wanted to hear to get the sale. He explained how the bath tub and shower walls would be precisely cut to custom fit our shower, how installation would be and visually showed us with his samples. This was a lie. We asked many questions pertaining to this because we absolutely did not want the same set up we already had, nor issues we already had. He told us that any walls or flooring would be replaced behind the walls and under the tub where needed so to ensure proper installation and no give in the walls, they would be backed and be solid. Well that is not what happened with the walls at all. A complete bait and switch, we feel so taken advantage of. This was a huge for us, we were so excited. We would have a new bath and shower in just one day, maybe two and then go back to normal or so we thought. The sheets of walls are cut with crooked lines, not straight cuts at all. The gaps where the walls meet each other or meet the tub are all different widths therefore the caulk isn't just one smooth line, the caulk is a disaster, some spots smooth and some spots still beads and bumpy. They did come back to repair the pushed in walls and some other issues but we still can not put our bathroom back together yet because the install tech broke a floor tile on the first install appointment and didn't even bother to tell me. I had to ask him about it. We had an extra tile and he replaced it with adhesive on one of his repair visits and said that's all he can do. Now that is uneven with the rest of the floor tiles and not grouted. It will break again anyway because it is uneven. Since we don't have anymore floor tiles, now we have to have a whole ceramic tile floor installed properly and have a plumber come out to reinstall the toilet after the floor is done. A nail was pounded all the way through to our bedroom wall which broke a nice chunk of drywall, he didn't bother to tell me about this either. The install tech covered it with some spackle to patch it and now we have to have our bedroom painted because there is a golf ball size spackle patch in the middle of our bedroom wall. In addition, after the last repair visit now the basement light shines through our bathtub drain, yes there is light glowing through the drain from the basement light. They put one of the shower wall shelves on crooked, there is caulk missing from around the faucet which water will eventually drip down into. The initial window frame was cut incorrectly by accident so they ordered a new one, great but the new one still has crooked cuts but now slathered with caulk in effort to hide it. I had begged for a manager to come here to see the initial install and damages but no one would cared to come. Finally the install customer rep I had been speaking to has come out a couple of times and as helpful as she has tried to be, we are at our wits end with this company. I don't get calls, texts or emails returned in a timely manner. I'm talking several weeks later and that's if I keep calling, texting and emailing demanding return responses. I have been told multiple times that I will get a call back that day or the next day and I don't hear back for weeks. It's terrible customer service. We will not be recommending this company to anyone and if fact, we will be telling our horror story to everyone. At this point, I think they feel like they got their money from us little people and they don't have to care about our little bathroom anymore. Like I said, this bathroom was a huge deal for us, we have waited over 20 years and I just wanted my little family to have a safe, new, fresh and clean bath tub. Now we more work to have done and we have all these other expenses that we did not plan on at this time because of Hanson's. It's very disheartening when you put your trust into a big company like Hanson's and your taken advantage of. I have pictures, and video of all of this. Clearly this company thinks that they can just ignore their customers after causing all these issues but that is not acceptable.
