Bath and Kitchen Gallery did work in the kitchen, major remodeling in the master bathroom, work in two other bathrooms, and work in 13 other rooms in the house. Within months, several rooms had failures. Within two years, the failures expanded to over five rooms in the house. Within three years, failures and defects in workmanship have been found in every room of the house.

We discovered that they failed to obtain building permits (at least three permits were required for the scope of the work) so their work was never reviewed by the Temple Terrace Building Inspector. We believe that, had the work been inspected, most of the major construction defects would have been caught. We have spent more than $42,000 in repairs and remodeling because of Bath and Kitchen Gallery's poor workmanship, and that's only the beginning of the money we will have to pay out to fix all the problems.

It appears that Bath and Kitchen Gallery cut many corners and didn't properly supervise the job. It makes me wonder that if they were willing to cut so many corners on a project that cost over $260,000, and violate building code, what will they do to your house? It took months and months of nagging to even get the owner of Bath and Kitchen Gallery to come to the house to see the failures. We are most likely headed to court and have spent thousands of dollars to date in attorney's fees, construction expert witnesses, and consulting fees. I would strongly recommend you do not use Bath and Kitchen Gallery! I also recommend you check online as they operate another company under the same contractor license number.
