Hardin Construction Co

509 W Bay St, Tampa, FL 33606

THIS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY BUILT THE WORST BUILT BUILDING I HAVE EVER LIVED IN (GRAND CENTRAL AT KENNEDY 1208 E. KENNEDY TAMPA 33602, ALSO 1120--SAME SET) AND I'VE LIVED ALL OVER THE WORLD); THIS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WILL RIP YOU OFF OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU LEARN TO STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM. HERE IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH ONE OF THE PROPERTIES THEY BUILT. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE FLOOR ISSUE. IT WAS A HARDIN CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR WHO RUINED OUR FLOORS AND OUR PAINT JOB AND LOST US OVER $10,000 BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO CHEAP TO BUILD WELL AND USE GOOD EQUIPMENT AND TOO CHEAP AND DISHONEST TO FIX THE PROBLEM PROPERLY WHEN THE ISSUE IS THEIR FAULT! I DON'T KNOW HOW THESE PEOPLE SLEEP AT NIGHT.

Sure it looks nice but since we moved to a new unit in 2007, right when it was built, both toilets, the a/c, three light switches, and the kitchen cabinet hinges (at least 5 of them) and the kitchen faucet have broken and needed replacement. Because we own our unit, the management does not include these costs in our monthly fees so we incurred an enormous amount for the repairs. The plumber had to replace one toilet already because the first one the builders installed (Hardin Construction) was defective, and now it's broken again, as well as the other one! Also the windows leak and they repaired them supposedly, but they are leaking again. They ruined our hardwood floors and when they tried to fix them (TWICE!!) the workmen gouged holes in the floor and left varnish handprints on our walls. We contacted management and their insurance paid us half the price we actually paid for the floors in the first place. The adjuster was even appalled! The management is unhelpful and rude. Today at 8am workmen woke me up drilling cement on the pool roof over my head! The management will make rules for what tenants can't do but will NEVER inform you of what THEY ARE DOING which can affect your life in a myriad of miserable ways. The fees are ridiculous for any services; the recycling sucks; and the management are liars and cheats! STAY AWAY!!!!! (Green Acres Property Management and Hardin Construction--NEVER deal with these companies if you don't want to lose your hard-earned money.

I WISH I COULD GIVE MINUS STARS OR AT LEAST A ZERO BECAUSE HATED IT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE UNETHICAL PRACTICES OF THIS COMPANY.
